Hi Folks,
16 intrepid walkers were not put off by the poor weather forecast and endured a dreich couple of hours slogging up to the top of the Campsie Fell before conditions improved. Lunch was taken at the picnic tables by the Crow Road car park. Everyone was very pleased that a slimline version of Iain Walker joined the party and successfully completed the route for the second time that week and it was good to see Eric at Clachan as well. Hopefully they will both be participating in a more active way in the future.
I would point out that we do not yet have any walks planned for 28th June.
Saturday 14th June
Overview
Bob Cole and Pauline Anderson will be leading the indirect route up the Cobbler This walk is a long slow uphill trek from Succoth past the Narnain Boulders to the path junction separating the direct harder scramble from the longer easier approach to the summit from the north. The easier approach is taken to suit those with stamina but not speed. The groups will start together, take the same route but be separated by speed.

Overview
Gillian Lang and Jim Dougal will also be leading a steady challenge route up the North ridge of the Cobbler. This walk is a long slow uphill trek from Succoth past the Narnain Boulders to the path junction separating the direct harder scramble from the longer easier approach to the summit from the north. The walk is planned as a steady challenge group, taken faster than the slow hill walk group. The groups will start together, take the same route but be separated by speed.
