SMC Naismith Hut, Elphin
(Ken
Thomson)
This year, eight places – the maximum
possible – have been booked at the SMC hut at Elphin,
which is on the A835 about 20 miles north of Ullapool.
As it says on the hut’s website, “ there
are many superb hills within easy reach of this hut; Ben
Mor Coigach, Stac Pollaidh, Cul Beag & Cul Mor, Suilven,
Quinag and many more”.
These are all on OS map 15 (hut at NC 2161 1183), and
more Munros and Corbetts
are on adjacent sheets.
Bookings will be confirmed on receipt of
payment of £16 for the 2 nights (Friday & Saturday).
Additional nights may be available from Andrew Tibbs via
naismith@smc.org.uk.
A communal meal – probably pasta in nature – will be
arranged on the Saturday night; intending participants
should add £5 for this, making £21 in total. To book,
