29 Apr - 7 May | Joint RC/CC Scottish Meet, at Craigallan A joint meet with the Rucksack club in their beautiful hut in Glencoe "Spring is a great time to visit Scotland; the crags are often in good condition and there are plenty within easy range of Craigallan, whether it is the local crags of Glencoe, or further up the Valley on the Buachaille and down Glen Etive. Glen Nevis is reasonably close too, as is the North Face CP for routes on the Ben. Equally, there are many Munros within easy reach, hopefully with some snow on the tops. There are 12 bunks at Craigallan and parking space for around 5 vans too. Come and join us for all or part of the time we have the hut booked." | Andy Tomlinson Debbie Marsh |
