23 members helped Stuart to negotiate his walk from the Bridge of Allan and enjoyed the walk helped by a square of tablet at tea break. They followed a scenic route via Allan Water, Kippenrait Glen, Glen Road, Hill of Aithrey, and Cockburn Reservoir where we stopped for lunch.

Despite the wet weather, the group was compensated by the sight of a beautiful rainbow. The return journey took them through Hermitage Wood, adding to the overall enjoyment of the walk.

The entire route covered an estimated distance of 17.1km, took just under 6 hours to complete, and included an elevation gain of 347m.

After the walk some members repaired to the Westerton Arms for a well deserved coffee and cake.
