		<description>&#38;nbsp;History of the Upperward Mountaineering Club&#38;nbsp;


How much do you remember about the major events of 1974? What is your most vivid memory? The Miners’ Strike, Harold Wilson installed as Prime Minister, Abba winning the Eurovision Song Contest with Waterloo, McDonalds opening their first UK outlet or inflation running at 17.2%. For some. at a more local level, it was the founding of the Upperward Mountaineering Club.&#38;nbsp; 

In February of that year a few likeminded individuals, who were already enjoying the challenge of walking and climbing in the Scottish hills, sought the advice of the Scottish Mountaineering Council with a view to forming a club in the Biggar/Lanark area.&#38;nbsp; With the guiding text of Edward Whymper “Climb if you will ...Look well to each step and, from the beginning, think what may be the end” foremost in mind, an article was placed in the Lanark Gazette inviting people interested in hill walking to attend the inaugural walk from The Grey Mares Tail in Moffatdale, via Broadlaw to the Crook Inn in Tweedsmuir.

Twenty four people with great enthusiasm, and from all walks of life, gathered in an assortment of outdoor clothing which included Barbour jackets, orange cagoules and oilskins complete with sou’wester.&#38;nbsp; Footwear ranged from tacketty boots and wellies to country brogues and stout shoes. Canvas rucksacks had the look of an Army &#38;amp; Navy Stores job lot and compasses were either those left over from the war or a two shilling bargain from one of the mail order firms – this was, you must remember, long before the internet.

The demands of the weather, rough tracks and physical exertion whittled down the initial group, leaving a core of fifteen members who were quickly to gain the expertise and experience that took them beyond the rolling border hills and onto the rugged mountains of North and Northwest Scotland. Many of this founding group were undoubtedly carried along with enthusiasm onto mountain ranges beyond their experience but, survive they did,and quickly left the lapwings and grouse on the lower slopes to scale summits shared with ravens and eagles.

By the spring of the first year, the Cobbler – a hill of much rugged character that punches way above its height - was climbed in snowy conditions and by the summer some of the major peaks in Glencoe had been tamed including the Aonoch Eagach and Buchaille Etive Mor via the precipitous curved ridge route.

Although Munro bagging had not really gathered momentum in those early days – Muriel Gray was just a wee lassie trying to count up to her first fifty - nevertheless the club reached out for challenges.&#38;nbsp; The Isle of Arran with its rocky summits and ridges was a favourite place – witnessed and captured on camera by the Gazette photographer Peter McCulloch. Slowly but surely members added to their experience by attending training weekends at Glenmore Lodge in Aviemore. Crampons and ice axes, previously thought to be equipment used only by the serious mountaineer, became standard equipment and navigation became the responsibility of each member rather than the leader of the day.

By the late 70’s and into the 80’s the club was well established with members from Lanark and Biggar even forming a local mountain rescue section.&#38;nbsp; There was also a junior section, one of whom who, after gaining their initial expertise through the club, went on to become a serious alpine climber. So into the 90’s and 00’s when improved transport opportunities and the experience gained by members led to more frequent weekend forays to far flung corners of remote Scotland. Skye and Torridon became favourites and are now visited regularly in alternate years, normally in May, and locations such as Knoydart and Ullapool frequently appear on the programme. Island visits have proved popular with members with Mull, Rum, Eigg and Raasay all ticked off the list. In the last two decades club members have walked and climbed in the Himalayas, the Atlas mountains of Morocco and summited Mont Blanc – the highest peak in Europe. All, I imagine, a far cry from what those original founding members must have envisioned when they met at the Grey Mare’s tail 40 years ago. 

The camaraderie forged by walking and climbing together, and cemented in the many après climb hostelries where thirsts were quenched, led to friendships that remain strong to this day and although new members seek to conquer munros and plan their way towards compleation of the full round of 282 Munros, their elders have returned to the rolling border hills and less demanding days. There are occasions such as the regular New Year meeting at Coulter Fell and the repeat of the inaugural walk every five years that brings everybody, young and old, together. So too does the biennial Burns Supper held every other year at Kinlochleven and Tyndrum. This event has grown in stature over the years and is now a keenly anticipated part of the social calendar of the club. 

So where to now for the Upperward Mountaineering Club now that its growing pains of the first 45 years are passed? It is great to see the way the baton of experience and expertise has been passed down the decades to each new intake of members and it is one of the major strengths of the club that new, raw hillwalkers and climbers are given the level of confidence and enthusiasm necessary to go off to the hills on their own, to battle with their inner fears and find their own pinnacles. For these are the next baton carriers who will carry on the cycle and ensure that the club continues to thrive. 

Climb if you will…

	&#38;nbsp;Walk Report - Aviemore&#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp;Weekend&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;February 2023&#38;nbsp;
	

We all enjoyed a great
weekend of winter hills from our base at Aviemore Hostel over the weekend of
17-19 February.


With a forecast of winds
over 100kph on the Cairngorm Plateau Marguerite, Iain and Linda met up near
Dalwhinnie and got up Carn na Caim before a strengthening breeze and sleet in
the face persuaded us to head for the Apiary Café in Dalwhinnie before another
retreat to The Cairngorm Hotel in Aviemore. Maureen and Maggie arrived at the
hostel to join in our experiment to see if Harvey’s Maps are fireproof as well
as waterproof-they’re not!


Saturday was a complete
contrast with snow down to road level and no wind at all. Linda, Marguerite and
Maureen made it to Bynack More while Iain and Maggie enjoyed a circuit of Meall
a’Bhuachaille which is a cracking Corbett just behind Glenmore Lodge. Another
visit to the Cairngorm Hotel was followed by a Club Dinner of Tesco Pizza,
salad, cake and some fine wines.


Sunday saw the winds return
to Mach 10 levels but this did not put off Ben Gibson from Mountaineering
Scotland who took us to Coire na Ciste for an introduction and refresher of
winter skills. He managed to keep us out of the wind while finding enough snow
to have us cutting steps, using crampons and throwing ourselves down the slope
before ice axe braking. The day finished in Tiso’s Café with an introduction to
planning a winter journey and the Be Avalanche Aware process.


A great weekend in good
company. &#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;

	&#38;nbsp;Walk Report
 September 2021

	
Upperward
Mountaineering Club – September 2021


&#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp; The September meet of the club
saw five members travel up to Torridon and stay at the Torridon hostel for the
weekend.&#38;nbsp; The main aim of the weekend was
to accompany one of the members (Jenny Stewart) as she completed her first
round of the Munros on Lurg Mhor and Bidean a’Choire Sheasgaich, a very remote
group of hills situated to the east of Lochcarron.


&#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp; With
the cloud well down on the hills and the wind forecast up to 60kmph from the
west the group left Attadale at 7.20am to cycle in to Bendronaig bothy,
arriving there two hours later. The top of Lurg Mhor was reached in very poor
visibility and required extensive use of compass and GPS to locate the summit.
The group then turned into the wind heading for Bidean a’Choire Sheasgaich, the
second and final Munro of the day, which was reached at 2pm.


&#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp; Jenny
was naturally delighted to complete her Munros, however, it was no day to sip
champagne at the summit despite her better half, Robert, carrying a bottle all the
way, so a swift retreat to the bikes was agreed. The ride back to the cars was
like being in a washing machine as the rain had started in earnest and it was
6.40pm before the day was finished.


&#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp; Anne
MacIntyre had joined the group for the evening to congratulate Jenny having herself
completed her own Munros round just a few weeks previously on Ladhar Bheinn.
Both were toasted with the well-travelled champagne.


&#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp; With
no improvement in the weather, Sunday saw us go round the coast from Alligan
Shuas to Diabaig. This proved to be a beautiful walk with a twist in the tail
as we descended to Diabaig down a gully. There were some more quiet
celebrations on the Saturday night before the Sunday return.&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;
