i'm happy to camp, i was just wandering if there was somewhere nearby.

And ill be driving up Thursday if anybody wants a lift?

I love my tent though Joel and it hasn't been out for a while. Plus you will be there before me so have the hut space!joel wrote:i wasn't actually asking for your place ,

Joel, the SMC books are good, they have a definitive guide to Glencoe. But if you want something that offers just the most popular routes in the whole of Scotland, there is a selective guide. Type "Scottish Mountaineering Club Climbers' Guide" into Amazon and it'll (quite literally) throw the book at you. I also own the "Scottish Rock: South v. 1" which is quite selective, but nice and glossy, it feels more like a Rockfax, and if you only climb a few routes a year in Scotland it'll probably be good for you as it covers lots of places the club goes year after year.

I see that the West Highland Way links (quite literally) the front of our hut with the front door of the pub which is a 1 mile walk. Happy days.

Looks like you need £1 coins for showers and heaters so might be worth saving a stash.
Although if we all shower together we would only need a couple.
Eww err......

Joel, this is the guidebook you really need, and the SMC one I think Stew is referring to...........

Brilliant, thank you for all the suggestions.
Everyone seems to be sold out of Scottish rock, but i got the mountaineering guide.
Can I be put down for food as well please.
Anyone needing lifts Thursday, returning Monday?

How many cooks do we have now? And what nights are we each doing?
I think Andy has bagged Friday.
Adam, me and Anta have all also volunteered so maybe we have one extra? Unless someone is cooking Thursday or Monday?

Fine with me. I'll bag Saturday. See you all tomorrow!
Re: Easter Meet - Black Rock Cottage Glen Coe - 13-17 April
A bit random, but is anyone staying up after the extended weekend?
I'm working in Glencoe next week, would be good to meet up Thu/Fri/Sat evenings 20-22nd April if peeps are still around

Hi Ed
Unfortunately I think most people have headed back by then. A couple are heading over to Skye but most leave glencoe tomorrow. Hope you get good weather though, last couple of days have been lovely
