Hopefully there will be plenty of snow about, and this will be an opportunity for you to practice your winter skills in the company of some of the more experienced members of the Club (Ray and Heavy). A number of topics will be covered including the use of ice axe and crampons. If you would like to take advantage of this sharing of knowledge and experience, then please mention this when you book the bus. It is best if you bring your own winter gear (ice axe, crampons and maybe a helmet), but the Club does have a small selection. If you want to borrow Club equipment, please advise when you book the bus.

There are plenty of high-level and low-level options available in the Cairngorms, for a great day out.  For example: Meall a’Bhuachaille via Ryvoan Bothy, Bynack More, Cairn Gorm…etc.  Don’t forget to check the MWIS and SAIS websites for weather and avalanche risk and plan your day accordingly.

Guests are welcome to attend the meet, but note that the winter skills is open to members only.

Contact Joe Glennie by the evening of Thursday 16th to book a seat on the bus for this meet.
