The Skye (GBMH) meet for 2023 has been cancelled as interest in it has declined to a low level, making it not viable as a club meet. However, the good news is that Gill has stepped forward to organised a replacement.
The replacement meet will be at the Cairngorm Club hut, Muir Cottage, Inverey, Aberdeenshire from 1-6 October (5 nights). Come along and do your own thing – there’s plenty to go at. Within a 12-mile radius, there are 37 Munros, 8 Corbetts and a Graham. There are many sub-600 m Marilyns (for those so inclined) around Aberdeenshire, Angus and Moray, and literally dozens of excellent low level walks. There’s also climbing up in the hills, at the Pass of Ballater and at the coast, plus brilliant mountain biking on the hill paths and tracks and new purpose-built MTB trails around Tarland, going up onto Pressendye.
Details of Muir Cottage are at https://www.cairngormclub.org.uk/muircottage/muircottage. The location is OS grid reference 076896, 1.5 km downstream from Linn o’ Dee and 8.5 km from Braemar. There are 18 places available at a cost of £12 per night, so the cost will be £60 per person. It should be noted that everyone would need to stay in the hut, as the Cairngorm Club does not allow camper vans at the hut or nearby.
Contact Gill Stephens if you would like to book a place. I will look forward to seeing you there!
