Lewis & Harris Meet

Printer-friendly version

Camping
The meet is based at the Eilean Fraoich campsite. We have an area set aside for the club, so when booking, please mention that you’re with us. http://www.eileanfraoich.co.uk/

Ferries
Ferries run from Ullapool and Uig (Skye). I have booked onto the 1800 ferry from Ullapool with a few other teams. It works out at about £55 each way for a car and a couple of people. Bike racks add about £5 to the return journey price.

Guidebooks
Gary Latter’s bumper book of fun is the best and most current one. I can get them at staff discount from the BMC if you want one. http://info.rockrun.com/reviews/scottish-rock-volume-2-%28north%29.html

The Climbing
The majority of crags are non tidal. The best grades are in the HS – E4 range, with tons to go at for the time we’re there. Try these resources from UKC.
