Schiehallion Club

Rannoch Net

 

People who have climbed Schiehallion are automatic members of the Schiehallion Club.

(note - the Dunalastair Estate advises that stalking takes place from 21st Sept to 21st Oct and that for their own safety walkers should stay on the route from Braes of Foss to the summit)

The table below lists, people who have climbed Schiehallion. Not all of them of course, that would be impossible, but if you know of people who should be added email Rannoch Net - Schiehallion@rannoch.net

Wear your Schiehallion Sweatshirt with pride. It is embroidered with a digital photo of a snow-capped Schiehallion (see the photo on the Index Page of Rannoch Net) - email Schiehallion@rannoch.net for details. (Shirts embroidered by Grandtully Leisurewear - Henry Callaghan - The same design is available on Tee shirts and Fleeces)

To go to the Rannoch Net on-line shop and order your sweatshirts click here.

Rannoch School has a race up Schiehallion from time to time. In 1982 it was won by David Cropley in 59 minutes. The route starts from East Tempar or up the steep north side of Schiehallion between Loch na Daimh and Braes of Foss. David is now a University Lecturer at the University of South Australia. Contact him if you have done it more quickly or if you require some advice on fitness. His route was up the steep scree covered north slope. Sam Gleave did a fast time from East Tempar - 1 hr 10 mins.

I climbed it on August 2nd 2002 - left the car park at 1000 hours and arrived at the top 1300 hours. The weather was perfect - even a trifle hot - and I spent about half an hour on the summit drinking in the views all around -

The Glencoe Hills, Ben Nevis, and countless others.
An experience to be treasured.

It would be a great honour for us, if you could add my father Bruno Hansmann (living in Steinfurt, Germany) and me, Juergen Hansmann (from Muenster, Germany), to the Schiehallion Club. We climbed this fantastic Munro together some timein summer 2002 or 2003. Standing on the summit is a bit like surfing on a hugh whale's ridge. I am sure, we will come back someday and climb up again.

My Husband, Keith Lambert, and son Adam,13, climbed Schielhallion last summer on the most perfect day. With the telephoto lens they were able to see over to Aberfeldy and see our house!
Adam is 'A Rannoch School' boy, and is fighting like mad to keep the school open and therefore wants to keep the community solvent.
Let's hope we are all successful.

Hi, just wondered if it was possible to add myself and my friends and family to the Schiehallion Club. On Saturday 28 September 2002 myself and 25 family members, friends and 2 dogs climbed Schiehallion in memory of my husband Jimmy who was killed in a road traffic accident in June of this year. We carried with us a huge Saltire flag(which we left standing proud at the summit) and numerous bottles of Champagne to toast his life. The reason we chose Schiehallion was that was the Munro we had planned to climb the weekend he was killed. The youngest member of our group was just 4 years old and the majority of the party were "Munro Virgins". So if any subsequent walkers enquire, that is the story behind the flag. Obviously it was a very emotional trip, especially for myself but it did my heart no end of good to see the effort all those people put in in memory of a very special man, my husband Jimmy Lorimer 1963-2002.
I would dearly love to through your website thank all those who took part and also thank the 3 guys at the summit who took endless photographs of our group. A big thank you.

On Thursday 16th August 2001 my two sons and myself set off from the Schiehallion Road car park at approx. 08:20 and we reached the summit at 10:58. Unfortunately the summit was wreathed in cloud and visibility was only about 100 yards so the anticipated view of Loch Rannoch eluded us. We only spent 10 - 15 minutes at the top and returned to the car park at 13:01.

We climbed Schiehallion on 31st October 2000. We set off from the car park at 1130 and got back at 1630. We found the climb more challenging than we thought it would be, but it was certainly worth it. The peak was covered with snow and as we approached the summit, the cloud cleared to give us a great view all around. We climbed with the Renfrew family, who also come from Bangor, Northern Ireland.

A memorable day.

Climbed with Ray Trusty and the Bremners

Our family and my friend's family decided to meet half way(ish) for a weekend's camping, (we live in Dundee and they live in Wick) and to climb Schiehallion. We met up at the Rannoch campsite on Friday 30/5/03 and climbed the mountain yesterday, Saturday 31st May 2003.

We had a great day out, especially enjoying the rocky part at the top, which we found very easy to negotiate. This is because we all grew up in Wick (our family only moved South 2 years ago) and have been used to playing round the rocks of our coastline since childhood!
Alana writes - Oh - if anyone found a red and black rather scrufy rucksack containing a navy & grey Bear USA pullover anorack (aged 13), a pair of navy waterproof trousers and a half eaten picnic, it belonged to my 14 year old son Ross!!- If found please email webmaster@rannoch.net

I climbed Schiehallion on 31st October 2000

with my son Ryan (15) and my daughter Rachel (14). We were with the McCune's who also climbed that day. It was harder than it first seemed but was well worth the view. The summit was snow-capped and shrouded in cloud which cleared for a while giving a breathtaking view of the surrounding countryside.
