5 – 7 December 2025
Mill Cottage, Feschiebridge
We are staying for the second time at Mill Cottage bunkhouse in Feshiebridge (near Kincraig). The cottage sleeps 14 in 2 bunk rooms and a room with an alpine sleeping platform. Sleeping bags and pillows will be required. We have booked 8 places in the cottage which also has a multifuel stove, a drying room, toilets, and a shower room. There is a wide variety of walking options, including the Cairngorm and Monadhliath hills, and sections of the Speyside Way, making this a good venue.
18 – 20 January 2026
Dalmunzie Castle Hotel, Glenshee
As there is no club meet in January, some club members have decided to take advantage of an excellent winter deal at Dalmunzie Castle Hotel from Sun 18th-Tues 20th January 2026. It is £99 B&B for a double room per night, or £235 for two nights with one £50 dinner allowance. Dalmunzie is a traditional country house hotel at the Spittal of Glenshee, with log fires and fine dining. There are many hills nearby, both big and small, and we might even be blessed with snow! This is not an official club meet, but it will be great to have a group of members enjoying something different at this time of year! Please act promptly on this if you wish to go: hotel deals can come to an end.
13 – 15 February 2026
The Cabin, Balgowan, Laggan
We have booked ‘The Cabin’ for our February weekend. Our Club has used this well-equipped hut once before. It’s located between Laggan and Newtonmore, so it’s in a good location for the Monadhliath and southern Cairngorms for winter walks and skiing. The cost will be in the region of £14 per person per night.
13 – 15 March 2026
Roybridge Chalets
The Club has stayed in these chalets since almost time immemorial. The chalets have been the base for many a hill adventure, as there are plenty of hills in the area with the Creag Meagaidh range to the north, the Grey Corries to the south, and the Lochs Treig and Ericht hills to the east as well as others further afield. Currently, one of the bigger chalets, now sleeping 6, has been booked but if there is the demand, a second chalet may be booked, therefore an early expression of interest would be appreciated. The cost will be £67 per person for the weekend.
17- 20 April 2026
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, particularly as we now have 2 members living in the area, and others further south. 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.
Mid summer 2026
Shetland
We are planning a camping/campervan trip to Shetland to coincide with midsummer. The trip will probably be 8 days long, taking the night boat from Aberdeen. The plan is to 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
