hi guys
i am just back from germany and wanted to know if there are any news about scotland. Do we have a meeting before? I probably have to lend some gear for the trip.
I have to confirm the date because i have to book my flights for going back home. It's going to be from the 24th of january till 3rd of february, isn't it?
you can contact me via mail at: philipp.kratschmer@gmx.de
c you soon
philipp

hey philip
i think we're back on the 2nd of february. crampons, helmet, ice axe, harness, headtorch and rock shoes will be provided by the club. boots that take crampons can be rented in fort william if you don't have them.
you'll need a waterproof outer layer (jacket and pants) and gaiters, hats, gloves, warm socks, a warm fleece. avoid wool and cotton for base layer as they hold water.

don't forget plenty of warm spare clothes. easy drying, warm layers are best (lightweight+insulating), clothes will get wet and dirty on a regular bases, every day! and drying conditions are very limited. buy your batteries, food and first aid materiall in fort william. learn as much as you can from the mountain guides and enjoy yourself. (a pack of cards, a bottle of whiskey and a good book is also a good idea

There might not be enough headtorches to go around everybody that doesn't have them. so if there is any possibility of getting a lend of one if you know anyone who won't be using it I would strongly recommend it as it is first come first serve. Saying that if a lot of people have their own then their may be enough club torches to go round
