Isle of Arran Trip - Rock Climbing Club…

The Napier Climbing Club is heading off for a three-day adventure on the Isle of Arran, camping at Glen Rosa, a quiet spot that feels almost like wild camping with just a few amenities. Over the trip we’ll be hiking up Goatfell (Arrans tallest mountain), exploring scrambles, getting our hands on some bouldering in the glen, and spending time relaxing by the beaches. For those who fancy something different, there’s also the chance to try horse riding or kayaking locally. It’s the perfect mix of mountain days and chilled evenings, giving us a proper taste of nature on one of Scotland’s most beautiful islands.
