View from the Cottage |
Strawberry Cottage is based in the remote and beautiful Glen Affric
giving access to several
magnificent Munros and Corbetts and has been refurbished into one of the
best equipped huts in the country over recent years. It is in a setting
guaranteed to take your breath away and offers
the chance to get away from it all and do some serious exploration.
Having a run of good settled weather in the days prior to the outing,
nine Club members had been looking forward with anticipation to walking
over this Glesga fair weekend. As often is the case
though the weather broke on our arrival, soaking the waterproofs but
failing to dampen our spirits.With cloud covering the tops on both days,
it provided all parties with a good exercise in
navigation.
Saturday 16th----Henry P, Hugh B, Dave C and Chris H, climbed An Socach,
Sgurr nan
Ceathreamhnan and the Corbett Sgurr Gaorsaic.
David W, Malcolm K, Alan and Kate S climbed An Socach, Sgurr nan
Ceathreamhnan, Mullach
na Dheiragain.
Tim M, having walked in to the cottage from Glen Shiel elected for an
easy low level walk around the loch.
Sunday 17th------Henry P, Malcolm K, and David W climbed Mam Sodhail,
Carn Eige and Beinn Fhonnlaidh
Tim M, Hugh B and Chris H completed the round of two Corbetts, Carn a
Choire Ghairbh and
Aonach Shasuinn
All in all an enjoyable weekend was had by all in comfortable and well
equipped accommodation, a pity about the weather, and the midges!!
