Our programme for the next few months is shown
below. We hope that you will be interested in
attending one or more of these meets. Please
contact schc.info@yahoo.co.uk
If you want to know more about the hills or
area where we're holding a meet, check out the
Scotland and Scottish Mountains section of our
links.
We ask that you are realistic and consider your fitness,
resilience, ability and equipment before selecting
a meet that is suitable to you. For example, the degree of fitness,
resilience, ability and equipment that are
required for a winter day in the Cairngorms, are
of a completely different order of magnitude to
those required for a summer walk in the Trossachs.
You should be responsible for your own safety and
enjoyment and consider that of others so that
everyone has an enjoyable time and no one is put
at undue risk or inconvenience. If you have any
questions or queries, please do not hesitate
to contact us for advice. |

11 September
Beinn Chabhair
Day Walk – Grade 3 |

This Munro lies to the east of the A82, not
that far north of Loch Lomond. A short, steep
initial climb soon eases to far gentler
undulating ground before the final section of
the climb to the rocky summit. To enquire send
an email to
schc.info@yahoo.co.uk |
1 - 3 October
AGM,
Kincraig
Grades 2, 3 and 4 |

A welcome return to a weekend at the Cairngorm
Christian Centre in Kincraig near Kingussie
where we will be able to enjoy the spacious
accommodation, together with the many
surrounding hills of the Cairngorms. There
will be walks available for all grades of
walker and Saturday will be concluded with the
annual AGM. We have provisionally booked 20
places, but we can currently book more should
the need arise. Cost is £27 for the weekend.

22 - 25 October
Ratagan SYHA
Grades 2, 3 |
|
Please note the change of dates for this meet,
as it is now taking place a week later than
originally notified. It will still run over
three nights – Friday, Saturday, Sunday – to
allow ample time for walking in these last
autumn days before the clocks go back and the
nights draw in. The location is Ratagan Hostel
in a stunning setting on the shores of Loch
Duich just off the road to Skye. Views of the
Five Sisters of Kintail across the water
should provide inspiration for tackling the
great variety of hills close at hand. The cost
is £15 per night. To enquire send an email to
schc.info@yahoo.co.uk |
12 - 14 November
Weekend without Boots
St Drostans Centre, Glen Esk |
|
The Club has held a retreat about every couple
of years or so since 1995 and we are returning
to St Drostans in the Angus Glens. This year
we will be taking a different approach by
looking at the relationship between our
Christian faith and a contemporary issue –
medical ethics, from both practitioner’s and
patient’s perspective. Our time together will
be a mixture of presentations and discussions;
it will be led by a Christian GP who has
experience both of teaching medical ethics to
student doctors and preaching. The retreat
will also include a time of worship. We have
sole use of the Centre which sleeps 17 people
in single and twin rooms. There is a common
room and a more relaxing sitting room together
with a large kitchen. The cost of the weekend
will be £40. This will include all
accommodation and all food. Please book as
early as possible. To enquire send an email to
schc.info@yahoo.co.uk |
3 - 5 December
Glen Etive
Grades 2 & 3 |
|
We return to our usual haunt, Inbhirfhaolain
hut, in Glen Etive. There will be further
details later. To enquire send an email to
schc.info@yahoo.co.uk |
New Year
27 December 2010 – 3 January 2011 (Monday to
Monday)
Fort William |
|
The Club has booked an immaculate cottage in
the Fort for the New Year. We hope for some
cold, clear weather with plenty of snow on the
hill. There are many hills in the locality,
together with lower level walks and (weather
permitting) skiing. The cost will be £18.50
per person per night: it may be possible to
attend for part of the meet. To enquire send
an email to
schc.info@yahoo.co.uk |
21 - 23 January 2010
Feshie Bridge Lodge
Grade 2 and DIY |
|
A
chalet for 8 has been booked at Feshiebridge
Lodge for a winter weekend in the Cairngorms.
The Lodge is also very well situated for
either downhill or cross country skiing if
conditions are favourable. Further information
on the Lodge can be found at
