WH Summer Meet Skye 16-18 August 2013

WH Summer Meet Skye 16-18 August 2013


Postby scoob999 » Sat Apr 13, 2013 9:15 pm

The Summer Meet has been booked already! :D

After a short flurry of voting the clear favourite was Skye, with some suggestions for dates too... so we've booked all 20 beds in Sligachan Bunkhouse (click here for website) for the 2 nights of Friday 16th and Saturday 17th August 2013.

There is a hotel and campsite nearby too. As this thread develops there may well be opportunities for anyone less experienced/confident to join in with others or maybe club together to hire a guide. The WH meets are all about sharing experiences and having fun so it's not always about Munros :shock: there are sure to be many other walks being arranged too.

The cost of the bunkhouse is £15 pppn, bringing your own bedding. If you require linen though this can be paid directly to the hotel on arrival (extra £4pppn). This cost is based on filling all 20 beds. We've covered the deposit in the meantime to secure the booking but full payment is due 2 months before arrival. So, if taking a place please pay by 9th June - pm for bank details or address for sending a cheque. Reply here to book your place in the meantime :D

Any questions, just give us a shout! Looking forward to seeing old friends and new
Scoob & Fi :D

My first WH meet :-). And on Skye too :-)

I'll be pitting my wits against those Skye midges at a nearby campsite.

Now to get myself into peak WH meeting fitness.....ale, larger, whisky......that should do for starters if previous meets are anything to go by!
