The Raeburn hut, SMC
https://www.smc.org.uk/huts/raeburn
Location: Laggan, Strathspey
The first hut meet of 2023! Note, this is before the George Starkey meet. Judging by recent weather I'm expecting this to be seriously wintry. Luckily the SMC state that its one of their most comfortable huts.
Creag Meagaidh and Ben Alder around the corner and the winter mountaineering hotspots of Ben Nevis and Caingorm NP less than an hour away. Have a watch of this to get psyched - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vC2tZ31Q7yw
"The huts watersupply is boil only - please bring bottled water for drinking" - I've not been but we'd best take some water for drinking just in case boiled water tastes terrible.
Things to bring: Drinking water, Sleeping bag, pillow case, towel and maybe your own pillow.
