WHIT WEEK MEET – 27th May to 3rd of June 2023
Summer feels a million miles away right now, but to get you all inspired for the sending season to kick off, Whit Week planning is now well underway. We’ll be heading to The Isle of Skye, home to some of the best multi-pitch mountain trad in the country, as well as some stunning sea cliffs. But it’s not just about the climbing. There is equally good walking and scrambling to be found across the island, with gems including The Old Man of Storr, The Fairy Pools and of course the mighty Cuillin Ridge!
We’ll be staying at The Croft Bunkhouse in Portnalong, located within easy reach of the Cuillin and west coast sea cliffs. Well behaved dogs are welcome and there’s even a pub within walking distance – what more could you want!
The accommodation includes a Bunkhouse and several cosy two-person Wigwams; there will also be the option for people to sleep in their vans (unfortunately electric hook-up is not available, but both van and Wigwam dwellers will have access to the bunkhouse facilities). 28 places are available in total. All bedding is provided for the Bunkhouse, but you’ll need to bring your own sleeping bag and pillow for the Wigwams.
To secure your spot on the meet please transfer £185.00 to the usual club account, then let me (steve050@hotmail.co.uk) and James (treasurer.mynydd@gmail.com) know when you’ve paid and advise if you would like a place in the bunkhouse, a wigwam, or if you plan to sleep in your van.
