Glen Feshie, 8th Dec 2012

This was the last official trip of 2012 for the club, to the impressive wild glen east of Kingussie. Due to exams and folk departing for the Christmas holiday there were just seven signed up, and as a group it was decided to head up Carn Ban Mor, on the way to the Munro Sgor Gaoith.

Strawberry Cottage, Glen Affric, 30th Nov - 2nd Dec 2012

Strawberry Cottage in Glen Affric was the destination for the last weekend meet of 2012. There was some snowfall and the weather was fine if cold, and the views were stunning. But not everything went quite to plan...

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.
