Last
weekend's meet to Strawberry Cottage saw a full hut of AMCers make
the trip to the heart of one of the most scenic glens in Scotland.
Having two vans available for the run up the forestry track certainly
made the approach to the hut easier.
Saturday was
on the worst end of the forecast with a fair bit of cloud and some
heavy and at times wintry showers. Donald, Mark and Judith tackled
the Munros to the south, Morna and Jane did the two Corbetts to the
SE and most of the rest did various long combinations of the hills on the
NW end of the glen.

| Brief break in the clouds on Sgurr nan Ceathreamhnan |

| Final hill of the day, Sgurr Gaorsaic |
All of this
activity was followed by a hearty communal meal and a fine social
evening.
Sunday
brought the promised improvement in the weather which brought about a
mad scramble to load up the vans and get on the hill. The Corbetts to
the SE were the popular choice for John, Ann, Mark, Donald, Judith,
Denis and Naomi, while Morna and Jane went of to the Mam Sodhail
area.
