===================================================
The
Torridon Range Expedition: March 2019"
Departure Friday
15th March; Dublin to Inverness
via Logan Air;
then Minibus to Ullapool, arriving Friday P.M. and staying at The Caledonian Hotel on Fri/Sat/Sunday night - B@B and evening meal. Saturday Trek: Torridon; Beinn Alligin - over 980 metres high - a 7 hour trek taking in Tom Na Gruadheach peak and then Scurr Mhor, with an option to proceed to do The Pinnacles - or leave them for another occasion, depending upon weather conditions.
Sunday Trek:
Quinag - a lovely horseshoe trek (with great coastal views when it's fine!) or else Stac Pollaidh and a coffee. This will be a much easier day than Saturday… Departure Monday morning early for Inverness to Dublin flight. Air Coach is the likely choice to/from Cork-Dublin and back. Some who qualify for Free Travel may prefer to go by train.
We need to have a meeting
of all interested trekkers before Christmas – so please register your
interest by text first before the Friday 14th December and I'll arrange a
meeting ASAP where we'll have a question-and-answers session.
Please bring an initial
deposit of € 100 to the meeting to secure your place on the trip.
Thanks,
John McLaughlin 087
242 6764

“Climb if you will, but remember that courage and strength are nought without prudence, and that a momentary negligence may destroy the happiness of a lifetime. Do nothing in haste; look well to each step; and from the beginning think what may be the end.” => Edward Whymper (From "Scrambles Amongst the Alps", written in 1871) <=
