Hi Folks,
6 adults along with David, his wife and two young kids joined Carol for her walk in Aberfoyle. It was a lovely warm day and the bluebells were in abundance around Doon Hill. They decided to follow the path to the top of the hill to visit the Fairy Tree which was less decorated that on previous visits. The children performed impressively getting to the top, maybe the fairy houses and the coins in the logs encouraged them.
David and the family decided to head back to town for well earned ice cream whilst the rest headed for Lochan Spling where they stopped for lunch and then enjoyed seeing the wire sculptures in the Loch. Hot drinks and scones in the station café finished off a lovely day, thanks to all those who went.
7 walkers joined David’s family outing to Jaw Reservoir. They all agreed that the warm dry weather had significantly reduced the stretches of muddy paths along the route and took full advantage of this to actually visit Black Loch this time. The views over the hills and the Clyde were very good and David was thankful that Bob Cole joined so that he was not the only man on the trip.
Saturday 10th May
