Last Call – 4 people have paid. 4 places left. Rather than lose the club money I’m going to contact the Cairngorm Club and see if we can cancel the unbooked beds. So,, last call if you want to go.

[Richard Pegram]

Thanks Gordon.

[Richard Pegram]

Still 2 places left. This should be a great meet: ideal location for exploring the Cairngorms, long daylight hours, before the midge season and it might even not rain (much).
6 people so far, but only 1 place confirmed as only 1 person has paid their fees. Please pay Kathy to secure your place

Thanks

Braemar Meet Update

1. We have 8 places. 6 people have expressed an interest so far. To secure your place you need to pay your hut fees (£12 pppn) to Cathy Burgess as soon as you can..
2. Looks like I won’t be there myself. I’ve got a clash with a DofE award program I’m involved with. However I’ll stay meets organiser. I can do with someone acting as deputy nearer the time, duties shouldn’t extend beyond setting up a WhatsApp group and knocking out a meets report..
3. Some confusion between me and the Cairngorm Club meets Sec re the booking. Now sorted – 8 places for 8 nights. Should miss bank holiday traffic while enjoying long daylight hours.

Thanks

OK Bob, you’re very welcome. I think I need your mobile number to get you in the WhatsApp. You could email it to rpegram64@gmail.com

There are 11 of us going now, so I’ve increased the number of beds booked with Ochils MC (who own the hut). If anyone else wants to go, can you let me soon. Ochils MC are getting other enquiries re bookings- thanks

[Richard Pegram]

Please note ,- If you want to reserve a place on this meet, you have to contact Kathy Burgess and pay a deposit on your hut fees. 8 of us so far. I’ve booked 10 beds and could probably get more. Thanks

Meet Report – Well after an epic journey there and back, taking in the usual rest breaks at the Kiosk Cafe on the A66, Cafe Areite in Moffat and Graham Tiso’s, this is how the trip went:
Monday – most of us climbed Moruisg: Me, Richard Craig from FRCC, John, David, Goeff and Pete. Climbing in the mist and bitterly cold wind and quite a dull hill, but I enjoyed the descent. The demoted Munro by it was more interesting.
Tuesday – me, Geoff, Peter and Helen climbed Liathach in perfect conditions. What else can I say? John and David did Maoile Lunndaidh and Richard Maol Chean Dearg.
Wednesday – Geoff, Helen and Peter endured buffeting winds to climb a munro on Beinn Eight before retreating off the ridge. Me and Richard turned back already, at the triple buttresses. John and David completed the Plockton cafe horseshoe – challenging but rewarding apparently.
Thursday – With Storm Babet arriving, with forecast comments like “red alert”, “unprecedented rainfall” (in Scotland!} and ” hurricane force winds” we all decided to bugger off home, via the usual cafes.
Note: I’d flag up that Torridon YHA was great: clean, comfortable and friendly with a full range of facilities, including a lounge with panoramic views and, it even looks like we’ll get a couple go days refund on our early departure. Recommended. I might start using hostels more often.

I’ve set up a WhatsApp group for this meet. Please let me know if I’ve neglected to include your name.
