PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE This is an exceptional situation, and I think as a club we need to take a serious but sensible and proportionate approach. Let’s start with the good news; at the time of writing it still seems OK to go out in your locality and enjoy the countryside in groups of 2 or less […]
Meet Report: 20-23 February 2020. The journey north as is often the case was accompanied by fair weather. A brief stop was made at Callander to purchase the final provisions and have a cheery chat in the butchers and bakery. The forecast was for strong winds and a continuation of the previous very wet weather […]
Meet Report: 31 January – 2 February 2020. Twelve members of the European Union gathered at Helyg for a wet and windy meet. By the end of the evening they had all quit (pace M Smith). Luckily they were all made of stern stuff and it was only the EU they left, not the YRC. […]
Meet Report: 9-12 January 2020. The usual Low Hall Garth January Meet recruited well with a handful of prospective members also signed up.

By common consent political and Brexit-related topics were largely avoided. Despite indifferent weather the event was the usual social success with plenty of exercise […]
Meet Report: 10-13 October 2019. Is it connected with memories of Yorkshire’s maritime adventurers such as Cook and Scoresby or recalling crossings to mainland Europe en route to the Alps that make those few minutes on the Corran ferry set meets on Ardgour and Ardnamurchan apart from the usual run of meets? On Thursday, the three cars […]
Meet Report: 20-22 September 2019. The joint weekend meet began with 20 people sitting down for a welcoming meal at Lowstern. Both clubs were enjoying being sociable around a roaring fire: a good time was had by all! Michael Smith told us of his afternoon of ornithology at Attermire Scar. Colin Smith, Steve Auty, Bruce […]
Meet Report: 31 August – 14 September 2019. The Dolomites in northern Italy are undoubtedly one of the most beautiful mountain groups in the world and the seventy-odd via ferrata climbing routes mostly put up during the First World War conflict are an added attraction. The first two weeks of September were selected for the […]
