The coming week
August 11, 2011I really must stop going away! There are three things due to happen soon, so please think about them and let us know if you are interested in joining in.
1. Wednesday evening, 10th August 2011. A short walk round Woodhall Dean? I put this in the program ages ago, because a midweek evening in August sounded a good idea, but I won’t be here to arrange it. So if you want to come just add a comment to the webpage if you’d like to walk, and if you are able to take a car. (Sorry – this page shows loads of other visits – just go to the foot of the page to add a comment). Then someone needs to take it on themselves to arrange everyone into some cars and pick a time etc etc…..
2. Sunday 14th August – Wooler circuit. Andre has offered to arrange this outing – see web page .
3. Weekend 20/21 August – Culra bothy, via Corrour Station. I will be back in time to go on this outing, but only just. People have already expressed interest, but I understand some have since decided not to. So I’ve removed all previous comments from the web-page and ask you all to re-enter if you are still wanting to come. You’ll notice I’ve amended the plan a bit, to remove problems getting cars to start/finish points. Instead, we’ll drive to Crianlarich on Saturday and catch the train to Corrour. From there we walk to Culra bothy (12 miles) to spend the night. On Sunday we walk to Tulloch Station (NB 16 miles!) and catch the train back to the cars in Crianlarich. Once I get back, I’ll contact all those going and agree transport, menus and equipment needs. You’ll need a sleeping bag, sleeping mat, some dishes, cutlery and a mug, toilet bag, … and a rucksack big enough to fit it all in. You might manage to find someone to borrow from if necessary. I’ll take a tent as well, just in case. The other thing is midges! “Skin-so-soft” is good, but a midge net would not go amiss.
I think that is all for now. Please ask if any questions.
