Mercian Mountaineering Club

I will bring my own car as I am too slow at walking uphill for most of you, and thus need my own transport.
I plan to travel to Scotland on Thursday 29 March leaving Rugby by 10 am. I will have a break in Perth to buy food in Morrison's. I estimate getting to the hut at 8pm. I will return on Monday 2 April.

If anyone wants a lift with me they are welcome.

Evening Mercians

I have sent most people an email with all the info you need for this weekend, so check your inbox.

Becky & Amandeep I haven't got you address, can you send me an email so I can reply to it, you should have a few from meets@... in your inbox.

Adam

Please sign Anna up for all meals!

Can I please sign up for all meals if it's not too late.

No desserts though thanks, I'm on a post week of birthday binge diet..... or I will be by then

Evening

For anyone who is unsure of the huts location, here's the address.

Braedownie, Glen Clova, Angus, DD8 4RD. Cairngorms National Park. 70 metres beyond the end of the public road. Gate is clearly signed.
Grid ref 286 757.

And here's a lovely picture.

Hey

Really sorry about this but unfortunately I wont be able to make the meet anymore, so take my name off the list and if anyone else wanted to go let them know. Really gutted I cant make it, hope you all have a great time!

Thanks

Hi,
Just to ask Karl if I'm still okay to borrow your crampons for the meet? And if anyone has a spare ice axe that would also be much welcomed and appreciated (I haven't checked the weather but I'm assuming snow)

I've packed my spare crampons.

Deffo snow, it's Scotland!

Hi all

Just emailed the club that owns the hut and good news!..... They said that mattresses are now provided so no need to bring a roll mat anymore (though adding a personal 'no blame' disclaimer if he turns out to be some sadistic wind up merchant!)

Will assume everyone is in for crumble except for those who have explicitly stated no to puddings (Huw, Jules).

Lou

I've got a spare axe that I'll pop in.

The Cairngorms are snowy! It's been a bit warm so lots has melted... but then it snowed again tonight. I had an awesome day out last week when there was a proper hard crust on the snow, so you could just stamp across the top.
