Green Gully
This meet was a bit impromptu & weather driven with ok forecasts for the weekend anyhow 10 of us met up at the flat in Fort Bill on Friday night Paul, Dave & I being the last to arrive at midnightish.
Early rise on Saturday saw 8 of us taking the first gondola up to Aonach Mor & contouring round to the West Face, even in the sheltered approach glen we were getting buffeted by the strong southerly winds & as we gained height we started to get knocked off our feet so we turned back.
A shame but we got a shock when we found the Gondola was still operating as it was in the lee of the wind.
Glovers Chimney
Sunday had a better forecast so an earlier start saw 4 of us at the CIC hut at daybreak unfortunately the high winds had not stopped but the good thing was that they were still blowing from a southerly direction & the north face was sheltered, so we concentrated on routes that did not reach the wild summit plateau & a good day was had.
Other teams headed for Aonach Mor & Buachaille Etive Mor
Warm & glowing in the Drovers a great end to the weekend
On the way home we had a meet up in the Drovers at Inveranan for a pint & a platefull, all in all a great weekend & all
