For a change
the meet to the SMC's Naismith Hut in Elphin was oversubscribed,
people no doubt drawn by the area and the good weather forecast.
Saturday saw
Denis, Mark, Judith, Bruce and Morna enjoy an ascent of Canisp. For
good measure mark then continued to Suilven, traversed it and ran
back to the hut. There's always one... Meanwhile Roddy, Joe, Rod, Ann
and John did Conival and Ben More Assynt. The latter three continued
over the South Top of BMA on a ridge that has apparently been
compared with the Aonach Eagach in Glencoe. While it is certainly
pleasant, it is in quite a different league. At the other end of the
scale Luigi and Manu had a score to settle on Stac Pollaidh. They had
abandoned an attempt on November Grooves this time last year due to
rain, so the bright sun of the morning was very welcome.
Sunday
breakfast brought the familiar sound of heavy rain on the roof,
leading to a relaxed breakfast and an early return home for all.
