Malky,
I am, regrettably, no longer able to make it next weekend. :cry:
I hope everyone attending has a great time. Stay safe, and remember the 12-hour rule for driving home Sunday :wink:

Martin

That's a shame - no worries though.

Looking forward to this very much! An escape from renovating my house, it will be good to get out on the hills. I'm on a Graham/Marilyn bagging mission, starting with the hill above the house!

I'll be late-ish on Friday. I finish work in Dundee at 4pm and will be driving straight up the road after work, so if anybody round this neck of the woods is looking for a lift then give me a PM.

No idea what my Saturday plans are. As usual I will rely on other people's sense of inspiration, see what folk's plans are on Friday evening and then tag along with whoever does the best job of convincing me :lol:

Open to doing likewise on Sunday or just scooting back down the road depending on the weather / enthusiasm levels.

What a fantastic weekend!!!!!! We enjoyed every single moment! It was great to have seen you all again and share yet another hillwalking day with old and new friends :D :D Many thanks for organizing it, Malky!

I'm adding a few photos from Beinn Bhan walk. Full report probably next week. We're off to Glen Etive tomorrow :D

Thanks Malky for organising a great location for the walk meet. Hope everyone got back over the hill okay. Did anyone pass the car towing the big caravan over the Beallach na Ba? Interested to hear if it actually made it!

Great photos black panther. Look forward to the report.

Thanks for arranging an excellent meet, Malky - and to Ewa and Kevin for the quiz.

My only beef is that you didn't fix the snow conditions on a'Chioch... :roll: :D

Glad everyone enjoyed the meet, and hopefully a good introduction to Applecross for any of you who hadn’t been before. Cheers for coming along!
