Mercian Mountaineering Club

Planning to stop at the hut. You are welcome to join early most folk are leaving for Brum on 1st, the me and Fabian are heading further north to visit some friends.

I will volunteer to cook on 30th as I will be stuck at the hut all day working.

Can you put me down as coming please.

Yes to all food!

Also I am happy to offer bangers & mash* (yes with veg & gravy) on one of the nights. Shall I go with the 31st?




* Yeah. Not very original is it.

In that case I'm happy to do my food on the 29th

Can I sign up please.
Yes to all food, too, thanks.

Is everyone sorted for transport? I’d be keen to share a lift or take people up (roomy estate car)

Hi Ed, I've added you to the list. Me, Huw and Fabian are travelling up from Brum on 27th. Me and Fabian are not travelling back until 5th Jan as we are off elsewhere in Scotland. I'm not sure about others.

I will be making green chilli con carne for my meal. With rice and nachos. Please let me know if you would like a veggie option - the carne version has pork shoulder and pancetta in it.

I've lost my phone, so the forum, email or Facebook are the best ways to contact me at the moment.

Can you put me down for all food too. Hope to be coming up on the 27th, all being well.

Are peeps interested in going skiing at https://www.glencoemountain.co.uk? lifts are currently open, 30 mins away from hut.

Happy to cook veggie or regular sausages. Let me know if you want veggie, or I will assume you want meat.

Ski/boarding at Glencoe - I could be tempted. But I think I am already taking some bikes up, and taking a board too might be pushing it.

Can you please sign me up for all food, veggie if poss. Many thanks for the offers.

My phone sim card gave up at 2am today on my busiest work day of the year! FFS. So contact me on this thread about NY stuff. Hopefully I'll get a new one before travelling up, maybe. Merry Christmas, Huw

Also tempted by ski if the forecast/snow perks up at Glencoe

28th - I'll cook a spag bol and a veggie spag bol.

Not sure who's arriving when and if you'll eat on the road so please shout if you want some!

Glen Coe ski centre was gutted by fire last night. But they hope the slopes will be open again by the 27th. But expect disruption if there is snow.

I'm wondering if they will still be able to hire out ski's etc. when they open up, or if these went up with the centre. The telephone lines are down as well.

Obviously must be horrible for the owners.
