Scotland’s mountaineers will welcome Dave MacLeod to the Mountaineering Council of Scotland’s Annual Gathering, to be held at Glenmore Lodge on Saturday 5 September. Recognised as one of the world’s best climbers, Dave has successfully challenged some of the hardest rock, winter and bouldering routes in the world.
David Gibson, MCofS Chief Officer said ” The Gathering offers something of interest for all mountaineers. It’s a great opportunity to get together and do what mountaineers do best – celebrate the mountains. We are delighted to welcome Dave, who features in a range of events and activities which will entertain and inspire Scotland’s climbers and hill walkers.”
The climax of the event is Dave MacLeod’s new lecture ‘’How soon is now? – Making moments to remember in climbing”, which is followed by a hog roast, bar and live traditional music until late.
The programme includes climbing masterclass sessions run by Dave MacLeod; an insight into how rescue dogs are trained and used, run by Heather Morning, MCofS Mountain Safety Adviser with her SARDA dog Milly; and an interactive lecture by Geoff Monk, founder and brains behind the Mountain Weather Information Service.
David Gibson added “We look forward to welcoming our members and invited guests to what promises to be one of Scottish mountaineering’s most memorable events of the year.” For more information about attending the Gathering on 5th September see the MCofS website.
