The hogmanay meet this year is based at Carn Dearg Mountaineering Club’s brand new Braedownie hut located in Glen Clova. The meet is traditionally a great opportunity for some eating, drinking, socialising and even a little outdoor activity. Folk usually bring some food to share for evening meals and sometimes folk even put on their best frocks for hogmany – more info to follow in due course.
Glen Clova may be a bit of a long drive from Moray, but it is well worth the effort. Dreish and Mayar (the local munros) may lag behind Sgurr nan Gillean on the “jaggyness index”, but there are several impressive corries and crags that are the equal of many other better known examples. If the conditions are right, then there are plenty of winter climbing, skiing and general walking opportunities.
There are still several places available.
Contact Simon Jacyna (preferably by text or email) to book your place.
