Lagangarbh Hut, Glencoe 28 - 30 March


Members of the Kyle Mountain Club outside Lagangarbh Hut at the foot of Buachaille Etive Mor.

Another great weekend!!  

Some of the team headed up to the Coe on Friday and hit the slopes at the White Coires.
Saturday saw Kev and I heading up the Ben at 07.15 en-route for Ledge Route.  While Corbett bashing occupied some of the team, the high winds on Saturday resulted in both Glencoe and Nevis Range Ski resorts being closed, however regardless of this everyone enjoyed themselves and still returned home with fond memories.

Lagangarbh is a great base.  This hut was originally a crofting home however was cleverly adapted to sleep 20 people. 

The Kyle Club has been going along for many years now and it was also a great opportunity for  members to share one of their favourite meets with some new members that had come along for the weekend. 


The Hut is in a perfect position for the Climbers, Mountaineers and Ski-iers within the Club and provides a unique view of one of Scotland's best and most photographed mountains (Buachaille Etive Mor).

Sunday saw the most of the team head home while I headed up into the gloom of Meall a Bhuiridh on ski and Kev took to two wheels.
