The 84th Annual General Meeting of The Moray Mountaineering Club will be held online on 26 November 2020, 19:30. Full details will follow here and by email to all members.
Friday 30 October to 1 November. The plan is to walk/cycle from Oykel Bridge through Strath Mulzie and camp at Loch a’ Choire Mhoir near to the north ridge of Seana Bhraigh. It is normally permitted to drive up Strath Mulzie as far as a “walker’s car park” about 500m short of Corriemulzie Lodge (Grid Ref NH328954), although that may have changed with Covid-19. This meet will coincide with date of the normal Halloween meet and therefore costume is recommended (“near mandatory”). Members are free to do whatever they like, but Seana Bhraigh and the Corbett Carn Ban are obvious targets.

Loch Quoich (or “Cuaich” on the latest Ordnance Survey map) is no longer accessible to the MMC bus, even without the added constraints imposed by COVID-19. Members are free to do whatever they want, but some folk are planning to follow the Walkhighlands Route over Gleouraich and Spidean Mialach (12km, 1130m of ascent and an estimated 6-8 hours). This is a wild area with great views to the hills of Glen Shiel and Knoydart. It also claims to have one of the highest annual average rainfall totals in the UK (see previous point about views)!

Wild camping meet in the Fisherfields to suit Corbett and Munro baggers alike (or those just wishing to soak up the ambience). It will begin with a scenic walk in from Poolewe to the Causeway by Carnmore (NG 975 760). Either camp here or stay at the bothy (at last inspection this was a grotty place) – if allowed by then! Then possibly continuing over towards Shenevall onto Dundonnell or back to Poolewe.
