Hi Folks,

The weather forecast on Saturday was very grim so Bob wisely decided to postpone the planned walks to the Cobbler and arranged a low level walk around the Auchinstarry circuit. In the event, the weather was even worse than expected and the 13 walkers voted to curtail the walk after 3 hours and avoided ascending even the low hills of Croy and Barr because of the threat of lightning, another wise move. Nevertheless, a good time was had by all and the waterproofs were given a real test.

Please don't forget the Leaders Meeting on Monday 23rd June at the Miners Institute in Kirkintilloch.

Saturday 21st June

Overview

Stuart Ferguson will leading a long, but not too challenging “B” walk from Comrie to Deil’s Cauldron and Earthquake House .
From Comrie the route follows a track alongside the River Lednock where it passes the Wee Cauldron and then the Deil's Cauldron. These are quite spectacular waterfalls if the river is in spate.
After leaving the riverside the route ascends Dunmore Hill to the site of the Melville Monument where there are beautiful views of the surrounding countryside.
After descending Dunmore Hill the route follows the Maam Road for some distance until it crosses the A85. The Three Saints Way is soon reached and this is then followed all the way back to Comrie, passing close by to the Earthquake House.
