Saturday 9th or Sunday 10th of December, 2017.
A good winter weather forecast encouraged a group of PMC’rs to quickly organise an ad hoc meet. Being Achaladair along with its neighbour Beinn a Chreachain was suggested by Keith and Paul and so on Sunday a group of five set off from Broxden to meet up with Neil at the car park near Achalladar farm. Neil, Keith, Paul M, Jeff, Stephen and Wendy had an enjoyable ascent in clear but intensely cold conditions with wonderful views all round of the mountain landscape.
The temptation of a warm fire and wholesome soup at Bridge of Orchy lured Wendy, Jeff and Neil to return from the first summit while the intrepid three carried on to claim both hills. There was great disappointment when arriving at the Bridge of Orchy hotel the car park was empty and there was no warm glow from within. Jeff and Wendy had to return without sustenance to wait in the car as the others made their way over difficult terrain involving river crossings in the dark! It was good to see the three headtorches arriving back. A good day was had by all!
