Staying at a large property near Fort William gave us plenty of options on the latest MMC winter trip, and with 8 people making the long journey we enjoyed a variety of different activities. The first four days treated us to good weather and conditions on Creag Meagaidh, and club members tackled Raeburn’s Gully, Cinderella, Staghorn Gully and Glass Slipper – while others stuck to slightly less steep ground on the surrounding Munros. It wasn’t all Creag Meagaidh though, with climbs of An Gearanach (from Glen Nevis) and Buachaille Etive Mòr (from Glen Coe) also on the agenda.

The weather changed for the last two days with increased temperatures, lots of rain and a rapid thaw. This wasn’t going to keep anyone indoors though, and we were able to take advantage of the nearby Great Glen Way for gravel biking, walking and running, Fort William for gear shopping and Glen Nevis for waterfalls.
