Dinner Meet
High House, Borrowdale, Lake District
It’s a long time since the SCHC had a meet in the Lake District, and it was decided it was time to return. We have booked 3 nights exclusive use of High House bunkhouse, which is owned by the K-Fellfarers Mountaineering Club. High House is situated in Seathwaite, at the head of the Borrowdale valley, 9 miles from Keswick, and is a converted stone built 16/17C farmhouse in its own grounds, with car access and parking. Sleeping accommodation is in beds and bunks in 2 separate dorms for men and women, and you will need to bring your own bedding and pillows. The hut gives access to many great Lakeland hills, including Base Brown, Great Gable, Scafell, Great End and Glaramara. We have also booked a private dining room at the nearby Glaramara Hotel for our annual club dinner on Saturday 18th, which will cost £28 per person.
The cost for staying at High House will be £20 per person per night for Friday-Monday. If sufficient people are interested, we might also be able to book the Thursday night, but this can’t be confirmed till one month before our booking.
8 – 10 May 2026
Ski Lodge, Bridge of Orchy
We will be staying at a new venue, Glencoe Ski Club hut, near Bridge of Orchy. There will be good access to many West Highland hills and glens.
29 May – 1 June 2026
Cannich Woodland Camping
Bring your own bed and tent for this weekend or book a camping pod (sleeping for 3). We have booked 2 pods, one of which has been taken and one is available for men.
If you want an electric hookup, hard standing or a pod, you need to book in advance quoting SCHC. All levels of walking and cycling are possible. Glen Strathfarrar and Glen Affric are a short drive away and as an added incentive, the campsite has a cafe on site.
14 – 23 June 2026
Shetland
We are planning a camping/campervan trip to Shetland to coincide with midsummer. We will stay in 4 different locations throughout the week (South Mainland, Northwest Mainland, Unst and Bressay) to allow easy access to the whole of Shetland, We will probably take bikes to aid this access and hopefully will have a chance to visit some of the smaller islands. Shetland is the most stunning of locations, so if you haven’t been before, now is your chance!
10 – 12 July 2026
Mar Lodge, Braemar
We often visit this area in the autumn, but now is the chance to experience the delights of Deeside in the summer.
21 – 24 August 2026
Naismith Hut, Elphin, Sutherland
Some places have been booked at this SMC hut (15 miles north of Ullapool), which we have used before. Although small, the hut is in a spectacular location for the northern peaks of Cul Mor, Cul Beag, Canisp, Breabag, Ben More Assynt and Conival (among others!). Given the distance from Central Scotland for most people, our booking is for 3 nights (arriving Friday pm and departing Monday). The cost of the hut accommodation will be in the region of £75 each for the 3 nights.
18 – 20 September 2026
AGM Meet
Cairngorm Christian Centre, Kincraig
This year we are heading back to the Cairngorm Christian Centre for our AGM. The Centre provides an ideal location for both an AGM and access to the Cairngorms for good hillwalking. We have booked 15 places for the Meet, and the cost will be £64 per person for the weekend. Campervans will be charged at £50 for the weekend. Places must be confirmed by 7th August, so please ensure that you book AND pay by that date.
