Find yourself wishing that something useful would happen in the Boyd Orr Building? Something that, whilst not helping your course, may give you hints that will save your life? 

We're very lucky to be getting a talk from Roger Wild, Mountain Safety Advisor for the MCofS. This will happen on Monday 27th October at 7.00pm.

The cheese and wine presentation in the Boyd Orr was a success!

If you weren't able to make the presentation but are still interested in joining then just come along to the pub (The Primary) on any Tuesday evening and we can get you signed up!

For those of you that would still like to see the presentation, a PDF download of the all the slides is available, attached to this article.

For our first weekend meet we are going Glencoe! (Or at least, the small Ballachulish just next to Glencoe!) As I promised, in case you're not sure on what to bring, here is an list of some of the essentials to bring for the walking/climbing:

Clothing:
- 2 pairs of thick hiking socks
- A good pair of proper walking boots
- Gaiters if you've got them
- Some kind of loose walking trousers - NOT jeans! (If they get wet you're done for)
- Waterproof jacket is essential (see below) and trousers (very VERY useful if you've got them.)
