Weekend Meet: 29th-30th November, Ballater Hostel

There was excellent attendance at the annual dinner meet. Several groups walked on Saturday and Sunday. Twenty-five adults (and one bairn!) took part in a lovely dinner at The Green Inn in Ballater on the Saturday night. Most of us were staying at Ballater Hostel, which made for very comfortable lodging. There was some good snow overnight, as you’ll see from the white-capped hills featured in Sunday’s snaps.
