Christmas Dinner, 28th Nov 2012

For our Christmas Dinner this year we once more enjoyed the hospitality of Clarks on Lindsay Street. Photos are by Paul Crawford and James Simpkins. As Paul puts it, "A good (and occasionally strange) time was had by all."

Dundee Mountain Film Festival, 23-24 Nov 2012

We've been providing refreshments at the Dundee Mountain Film Festival for a number of years. It's pretty busy but fun, and a big help to the Club (and hopefully the DMFF itself). Thanks to all who volunteered their time and culinary skills over the weekend.

Blair Atholl, 18th Nov 2012

The closest meeting so far, to the village of Blair Atholl. While one group of four set off for a forest walk, the rest - nine in all - headed for the nearby Munro of Carn Liath, and beyond.

Bowderstone Cottage, Lake District, 2-4 Nov 2012

This, the club's second visit to Bowderstone Cottage, was notable for snow underfoot, clear blue skies, the spectacular views, and Meets Sec Calum's birthday celebrations, which included cake and fireworks... Ascents included Helvellyn via Striding Edge and Dale Head. Thanks to Neil Tan for his stunning photos.
