Beinn Bhreac Blog
2017-09-17 08:00 - 20:00
The club walk in September to Beinn Breac was a great success with good weather after a very wet and windy couple of days beforehand, with 33 members out in total, 18 people climbed Beinn Breac. Eight 8 members did the slightly shorter walk up to the corbet Cairn na Drochaide, and 7 members completed another shorter walk of the Fairy Glen. Great views were seen off Beinn Breac of both Glen Lui where we walked in and Glen Quoich where we walked out to finish.
Views off the top of Cairn na Drochaide also good however cloud present.
Both the two main walks were well over 6 hours, and confirmation of a great day out was had with a few drinks after in the Invercauld.

Meall a’ Bhuachaille & Ryvoan Pass Blog
2017-06-10 07:00 - 18:00
The route for the June walk was changed when the Friday forecast showed very high winds on the Cairngorm Plateau. So rather than Bynack More and Cairn Gorm the group of 24 walkers set off from Glenmore to Nethy Bridge via the Ryvoan Pass. One group included the Corbett Meall a’ Bhuachaille in their route to test the wind speed and found the forecast to be fairly accurate. Fortunately the heavy rain and low cloud which greeted us on arrival in Glenmore had passed before the top was reached and there were fine views from the summit cairn. Both routes joined at the Ryvoan Bothy and continued on very pleasant tracks through the Abernethy Forest. At this lower level there was little wind and by lunch time is was warm and sunny. A relaxing refreshment break in the sun outside the Nethybridge Hotel completed a very acceptable alternative walk. (Later news reports confirmed that conditions on the high tops had been poor with two rescues on the hills we had been scheduled to walk on the day).
