Day walk |
Tinto
Facebook Event Page
|
Looks like there might be a brief good(ish!) weather window on Sunday. Plan to start from the main Tinto car park at around 11am. Walk should only take 3-4 hours depending on whether we do a straight up and down or make it a circuit. Route suitable for anyone with a reasonable level of fitness. Forecast is for some wintry showers and it will be quite cold and breezy so appropriate winter clothing will be required. There might be snow underfoot but it shouldn’t require crampons or ice axes (unless you want to practice your winter skills!).

Day walk |
Arran Traverse
Facebook Event Page
|
Craggy's annual traverse of Arran from Lochranza to Brodick.
Distance 21km
Time 9 to 10hrs
Ascent 1600m
SUBJECT TO WEATHER! Catch 0700 ferry then bus to Lochranza arriving 0843. Route is from the Distillery up Gleann Easan on to Caisteal Abhail, Cir Mhor, round the back of A'Chir and on to Beinn Tarsuinn and Beinn Nuis (or Beinn a'Chlaibhain).
Ascent is more than Ben Nevis (and distance much longer) so a good level of hill fitness required! There is an escape route after Cir Mhor down to Glen Rosa which reduces the amount of ascent but only knocks a couple of km off the distance so still a very committing walk which will take around 9 to 10 hours. Return on 1920 ferry.
Good training walk for anyone planning on doing the Mamores traverse in two weeks time!
Remember the club does not provide leaders - everyone is responsible for their own navigation and safety so bear this in mind if coming on this walk (there may be other less demanding walks arranged on the same day - keep an eye on the FB page for details). |
