Hi Folks,
Another update as to the year of meets – What a great list we have coming up! As always, keep booking up weekend meets, some are booking up fast. To book email weekend meets coordinator David.
Meets coming up are:
7th – 9th July Ossian Youth Hostel – Still spaces remaining, please book up!!
£24pppn. An amazing location at the head of Loch Ossian. Remember despite some members trying in the past, this meet is not accessible by car, and you should get the train to Corrour to get here. Some ideas as to what can be done can be found here: https://heavywhalley.wordpress.com/2017/04/03/a-wet-walk-into-loch-ossian-youth-hostel-a-wet-walk-a-short-day-on-beinn-na-lap-in-the-wilds-of-corrour-estate/ (Courtesy of Heavy Whalley)
4th – 6th August CIC Hut, Ben Nevis – currently full, however if we have more interest I’ll book more spaces
£16pppn. Home of the Annual MMC Jenga Tournament. Climbing, scrambling or even walking to a pub is achievable! More information can be found here: https://moraymc.org/2022/08/22/cic-hut-weekend-meet-august-2022/
1st – 3rd Sept Glenbrittle Memorial Hut, Skye – currently full, but there’s the campsite down the road.
£20pppn. The annual trip to Skye, great venue and always great craic. Not that you should need ideas for what to do, but if you do, last years trip can be found at: https://moraymc.org/2021/08/08/weekend-meet-skye-glen-brittle-september-2021/
20th – 25th September Ty Gwyn, near Llanberis – North Wales
£10pppn. Classic walks, scrambles and climbs galore. Where better to spend 5 days than in a hut in Snowdonia? Relatively basic but well appointed bunkhouse. Only 12 spaces so first come first served. The plan will almost certainly be to car share, possibly via the mighty Bathgate. Hut details can be found at: http://lincolnmountaineeringclub.org.uk/lmchut/hut.asp
6 – 8th October Aberfeldy – £25pppn. – currently full but more space is bookable if need be.
A wonderful, less explored area for the club. Low level forest walks and plenty of hills on the cards. Come along for a fantastic weekend! Details of the bunkhouse can be found at:

3rd – 5th November Inchnadamph – £25pppn
Inchnadamph is back! The annual Haloween dress up will be of course present. Assynt is a stunning location with stunning hills. You won’t need inspiration for what to do, but our last meet there was: https://moraymc.org/2019/11/20/weekend-meet-report-inchnadamph-nov-2019/
1st – 3rd December Inver Croft – £7pppn
Lovely little cottage in Achnasheen. A little walk from the road but a great location. Hut detailscan be found at: http://www.jacobitesmc.co.uk/inver and the last meet report there can be found at the following link: https://moraymc.org/2021/12/08/invercroft-meet-report-november-2021/
29th Dec – 1st Jan Lagangarbh – £24pppn
What a location for new years. The chance of waking to a snow covered Buachaille Etive Mòr just behind on new years day would be something else. Chances are it’ll be in the clag, but you can always use your imagination. Our last trip was last year at: https://moraymc.org/2022/07/27/lagangarbh-weekend-meet-report-june-2022/
2nd – 4th Feb 2024 Mar Lodge Bunkhouse – £20pppn
A wonderful hut in the heart of Royal Deeside in the cairngorms. A brilliant location. More information on the hut can be found at: https://www.nts.org.uk/holiday-accommodation/bunkhouses/mar-lodge
1st – 3rd March 2024 Acheninver Hostel?? £25pppn 17 spaces
It’s been a while since our last trip here, but it’s a lovely location to explore and potentially a fabulous time of year. Days are getting longer, there’s still the potential for the northern lights and a great base for some wonderful hills and climbing. Our last report is at: https://moraymc.wordpress.com/2017/11/08/weekend-meet-report-achiltibuie-nov-2017/
5th – 7th April 2024 Craigallan Bunkhouse £17pppn
3rd – 6th May 2024 May Coruisk 3-6 May £15pppn, limited spaces, but there is the potential to camp outside
7th – 9th June 2024 Glenfinnan Bunkhouse £20 pppn
You might notice we had mentioned Mull, but instead we have Coruisk on the list. Sorry to disappoint those excited to go but it will be on the list for 2025!
Hopefully that will be enough events for now to whet your appetite. Remember a calendar of all meets and events can be found on here.
