Trip Calcelation

The Weekend trips have been cancelled due to the Weather conditions alongside the Avalanche Forecast. Below is the Avalanche Forecast for Glencoe Today:


With winds of up to 75mph ripping the snow that is deposited on the Southerly slopes and dumping on the Northerly aspect, this results in the Southerly aspect being of no use for our aim (to practice Winter Skills).
The Westerly and Easterly slopes are of high risk and the Northerly slope is not worth risking. The forecast remains basically the same until Creag Meagaidh. 
Then On Sunday there is a risk of lightning as well as strong winds.

All in all, it isn't worth going out into that weather and to meet those snow conditions. Instead we will be going to the Ibrox Climbing Center and getting some climbing done. We will be meeting at Sunday at 10am in the Saltire Center and heading off as soon as possible.
