The Kintail Outdoor Centre, operated by the National Trust for Scotland is situated below Sgurr na Moraich, the last of the famous Five Sisters of Kintail, and Ben Attow (The Long Mountain). These spectacular mountains rise steeply from the shores of Loch Duich, offering some of the best hill walking in Britain. The centre is 5 minutes from the A87.

The New Year Meet is open to all MMC members and we have secured exclusive use of the accommodation. There are a maximum of 20 spaces at the Centre. here is no official camping next to the venue, but there is a campsite very close by. However, please note that even if you choose to camp, a bed will be allocated and the full charges will still apply.

This is likely to be a very popular event, so early booking is strongly advised.

To book, contact Dan Moysey by email. Bookings will only be considered confirmed once you have paid the full amount, which is non-refundable if you cancel.
