Examples of Recent Meets     

At Meets a variety of activities may take place, with groups of members deciding their own options after general discussion of weather and conditions.  Some members rock climb to a high standard, others prefer mountain routes and scrambling.  Experience contributes to winter activities. 
The extracts below aim to show that we may or may not go out in a single group, members and guests tend to 'mix and match' depending on inclination and the weather.  There is no 'led' activity.  Some days are long, over 12 hours, on other days there is time to climb and enjoy a swim. Winter can be superb, views can be stunning or atmospheric, rain can be annoying, the midges are best avoided ......

Another superb Easter in 2024
Many members congregated at Morvich - a very popular meet. Saturday was a 'warm up day' with groups on the Graham Biod Fhithich and Forcan ridge/ Saddle. Sunday, for many a longer day, included: one group heading off to the Glen Sheil ridge and its 7 Munros.  The delight of mobiles/social media enabled progress to be followed.  Another group ascended to the Bealach an Sgairne and descended below Beinn Fadda to the loch and up Sgurr Gaorsaic with a re-ascent on the return. Excellent weather.  The weekend had social evenings to celebrate our President's retirement from the 'day job'.
