The Creagh Dhu Mountaineering Club - a bit of a history, presented by John MacLean

The Creagh Dhu is a legendary, historically significant and tough working-class Glasgow-based club formed around the 1930s. Known for raising post-war Scottish climbing standards, the club is revered for its hard-nosed, gritty approach to mountaineering, having produced renowned climbers like John Cunningham and a famous, exclusive, and sometimes "feared" reputation.

Come and hear some of the tales, with big John, one of Aviemore's best story tellers.
