Further adventures in the Far North

Date: Friday 1st June 2018 to Sunday 10th June 2018
Venue: Sheigra, Sutherland

Sheigra, one of the finest coastal crags in the North West of Scotland is the focal point for this trip and we will be camping on the spectacular and well appointed (one tap) beach campsite near to the crag. In the surrounding area there are also many other climbing opportunities from roadside outcrops to 1000' mountain routes - as well as the Scottish sea stack that most of us haven't done yet, Am Buchaille. The choice of top quality routes is across the grades and there are also some outstanding walking possibilities (Cape wrath anyone?) The area is about as far north as you can get and is stunningly beautiful. Post climbing options include the usual convivial conversations/arguments and there is the possibility that drink may be taken. I will of course be offering angling lessons with the assured knowledge that we will catch fish this year. If you can get hold of a surfboard and don't mind carrying it 3 miles the nearby Sandwood bay is supposed to be an excellent break. Everyone is welcome on this very friendly meet - the campsite is vast so there is no limit on numbers. The proposed dates will be the core of the meet but people are welcome to come early, stay late or just join us for a few days. As meet organiser I will take responsibility for confirming the campsite, organising a mess tent for us all to meet in, bringing the shovel and doing anything else that people think needs to be done. I will also try to get as much up to date info on the climbing in the area for everyone to share. I intend to use the Club Facebook page to provide information and reminders but I will also keep a list of all those intending to come which I will share with everyone by email. This may be helpful to anyone who does not yet have a climbing partner in mind. If you already know that you want to come please email me so I can get this list started. PS the sun always shines for this meet.
