April meet.

The weather
was superb on the drive up with stunning views of all the hills on
the way north. Fresh snow on the hills in the morning reminded us
that we’re still experiencing winter conditions.
Given
the rather poor forecast, however, excellent weather was enjoyed
throughout the trip with only the occasional snow and hail shower
impeding stunning views.
Given the
choice of superb hills roundabout, four separate parties departed on
the Saturday morning. One party enjoyed a superb low level walk from
Cluanie to Alltbeithe; another group climbed the Corbett, Sgurr
Gaorsaic. The Saddle was climbed via the Forcan Ridge; the final
party ascended Sgurr a’ Bhealaich Dheirg and Saileag in Glen Shiel.
Sunday was
a quieter day for most folks, with one group out on Beinn Fhada. One
carload returned via Loch Quoich, sussing out Corbetts for future
trips to this beautiful area.
