 The club currently has over 100 members, from a wide range of backgrounds and ages, who are involved in a wide range of mountain activities, so there's always something going on to suit all tastes! These range from scrambling, climbing and mountaineering in the spring and summer, to winter snow and ice climbing, and alpinism for the more adventurous. If that sounds too strenuous, or the weather's awful, then some of us just go for a walk!

A postcard from "The Greater Ranges"
I'm sure some of you will remember Adam, who climbed with us for a year or so before emigrating to Sri Lanka with girlfriend Sarah, to teach for a couple of years, well it seems that his interest in mountaineering has grown to "bigger" things and I have just received this postcard (club members only can read it) of his recent trip to Island Peak.
Well done Adam and we look forward to seeing you this summer.

Plenty to go at this month, so here goes.
Thursday, May 7th Gouther Crag, Swindale.
Meet leader, John Watson put a late amendment into last months report, just to say that this one really blew away the cobwebs!
Thursday, May 14th and at last it stayed dry for the meet in Watendlath, just a shame that meet leader, John Holden was stuck in Stoke until after 6 so missed the meet, no doubt to the delight of Tony Morley? Substitute leader, Phil Wilkinson tells me that four or five folks turned up and had a chastening evening on the Severes of Goat Crag.

 Sue and I ended the days climbing at 6.30 on a lovely V.S jamming crack, our fifth route. The sun, still high in the sky, radiating it's warmth to the hills and valleys of this idyllic spot. But we had a journey to complete, so had to leave. A journey home after 5 days of blissful escape from everyday reality.
The campsite at Glen Coe was the meeting place for members arriving on Friday. We were fresh from a good walk on Ben Trilleachan, dodging showers. The Etive Slabs looked inviting, but no matter how hard we gazed upon them they still couldn't dry out quick enough!

Josef, Dennis, James and I got down first, and had a great laugh at getting the ’full cow’ experience – a balcony view of the milking parlour from the kitchen. We grabbed our bunks and cooked a meal, by which time everyone else had arrived. A rapid exit was made to the pub, the ‘Blue John’, which was not as busy as it had usually been in the past, but still had an excellent range of beers on tap. After the pub, a few bottles of wine at the bunkhouse ensured that everyone looked and felt as rough as badger’s chuff in the morning, except for Phil and Sue who had taken the more sensible option, and gone to bed after the pub.
