Climbing trip to the Cairngorms in Scotland! As Scotland is quite far away, this is a 4 day trip travelling up during the day on Friday 1st March. We will then spend Saturday & Sunday playing in the snow before travelling back down again on the Monday 4th March. As there was a fair bit of interest from beginners, we’ve split the trip into two. Those of us who’ve never been winter climbing will be staying at Glenmore Lodge and receiving professional tuition from one of their guides (http://www.glenmorelodge.org.uk/course-wintermountain-skills-display.asp?course_id=38). For the more experienced, we’ll book places in a hut in or around Aviemore, close to Glenmore Lodge.
The cost of the trip for beginners is £245 per person + petrol. That price includes food, accommodation, equipment hire, a professional guide for 2 days & evening talks on avalanche awareness, etc. The cost of the trip for experienced winter climbers will be ~£50 + petrol & food.
If you want to join us beginners, please book (& pay) directly with Glenmore Lodge, mentioning that you are with the CCCC when you book (they are expecting us). Please also let me know to organize lifts, etc. If you just want to join in the bunk house, just contact me as normal and I’ll sort out the bunk house.
