Shall think themselves accursed they were not
here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any
speaks
That walked with us upon this Mother's
day.
Jean,Stacey, Bill, Dave, Graham, Jim, Iain, Graeme
and Donald decided to forego Mothers Day Lunch and go Munro Bagging instead.
Blue skies as we set off up the hill promised another fine day.The first part of
the walk was over easy, but rather boggy, ground until about 700Mts we
reached the snow line, and with the snow came the mist.So another Peak with no
view. After the official Gorillas in the mist picture we meandered slowly down
the hill met up at the bottom, And set of for Killin where we had our usual
light refreshments beside the Falls of Dochar, And then home to face the
music. Report by Donald

A
quieter day for the Club probably due to Mothers Day - nine of us met up in
Killin on a glorious March morning to the spectacular sight of the Falls of Dochart in full speight. It was a bit
nippy but a fine morning for a walk. Set out up the easy going east ridge and the sunshine actually had some
heat. We were foiled as we approached the summit ridge by some lowering shower
clouds and the snow came on for a while robbing us of the views of Heasgarnich,
Craig Mhor and the rest of the Mamlorns. The summit had a fair bit of snow and
gave a wee mountaineering feel to it. A gentle stroll back to the car just in
time to avoid the deluge which eventually got us between the pub and the pub
car park in Killin. A fine day out with a wee snooze on the way back in Bill's
chariot. Report by Dave
