Just back from a fantastic trip to
Glencoe, our accommodation was the Lagangarbh hut. Teams left York from
Wednesday onwards with varying objectives. Mine was to go up on Friday,
climb the 'Buccle' Saturday and have an easy day Sunday. This is just
what I did.

At
8:50:59 AM (roughly) a team of eight people left the Lagangarbh Hut and headed up Corie
na Tulaich on our way up to the first peak of Buachaille Etive Mor,
Stob Dearg (1,022m). Our team was Andy, Beth, Duncan, Laura, Tracey, Steph, Dave
and I.

We
enjoyed the most fantastic weather and views all day! The pictures just
say it all!

From
Stob Dearg we meandered Westwards to pick up the main ridge of
Buachaille Etive Mor, then Southwest, over Stob na Doire and Stob Coire
Altruim to the summit of Stob na Broige (956m), this being the second
and final Munro of our day.

In

Bandits, that were later to commit a henious crime against our dear
secretary, Tracey!
Later we randomly bumped into Stuart, another Yorki and past YMC
member......... bag.... rock..... Stuart.... nar.... could not be!

After soaking up the sun on the last summit we headed back along the
ridge then down to the Lairig Gartain and a steady 3km walk back to the
hut.
That day Kirsty, Fiona, Howard and Blandy had a wicked day on the Anach
Eagach, same weather and similar views. Their day ended with a rescue
of a girl with a broken ankle, good work gang!
Earlier in the week Stuart (our Stuart, not the rock bandit!) and Brian
had exciting day out up NC gully in Coire nan Lochan!
Lots, lots more got done, sorry if I have missed out you and your
adventure, drop me a few lines and a photo and I will add it to this
report.
