Fourteen people attended the Port a'Bhaigh camping meet, and the general consensus was that it was great to be able to walk with others again.  The campers enjoyed a reserved terrace area. 

Most people arrived before early so there was a mass ascent of Suilven on Friday,

and another large party climbed Ben Mor Coigach on Saturday.

Brian climbed Glas Bheinn and Sue Quinag.  Several brave souls, encouraged by Izy, swam in the sea and said it wasn't really too cold at all.

The climbers kept busy and Chris reports that:

On Sunday Keith and myself ended up at Ardmair (affectionately known as Hardmair by climbers).  It lived up to its reputation.  We had a tough time on an E1 (photos of keith at the start and at the top) and decided that we were both tired from our climbing on Stac Pollaidh the day before so called it a day and headed back to Aberdeen just before the showers started.   The photos show Keith at the base of West buttress trying to work out the line of the climb we did called "Jack the Ripper" graded E1, and then the line of the climb which starts up the cracked groove and heads for the large block at the top on the right of the buttress in 3 pitches.   Rod and I did a couple of climbs on Friday evening at Stone Pig area of Reiff in hot conditions.

It was good to be back!
