Ullapool 1999 Easter Trip Report

Trip Report Easter 1999

The Hiking Club marking their territory

This was the best weather that the hiking club has seen for many Scotland trips. Apart from rain on Sunday and scattered showers on Monday and Tuesday, the weather was very reasonable by Scottish standards with Wednesday, Thursday & Friday seeing nice sunny (but hazy) weather. Stac Polly was climbed on Sunday by most though Lee twisted his knee for the umpteenth time.

This trip, like last year, attracted many foreign students to the area and they were very lucky to get such good weather. The strange thing was that instead of climbing a summit on the nice days, they go to the seaside instead! The club has had a recent tendency to not go out when the weather is rough but now they're still staying off the hills when the weather is good as well. What is the club coming to??

Well, they did manage a climb up An Teallach and Beinn Dearg. But hey, you missed out on an excellent climb of Ben Mor Coigach.
