We got going at 10.15, reached the decision point at 11.35 and voted by 4-1 to do the full walk. Got to the pub for 1.25, wide choice but pricey and slow service. Got away for 2.35 and safely on board the 4.15 train - it was just starting to spit with rain, but otherwise it was sunny with a light breeze. Not a 'nightmare' walk at all!

Last week one of the attendees for the Ullapool trip had just bought a compass but needed to be shown how to use it! This army range walk is a complete nightmare if you don't have a compass and map to back up the walk directions as there is no signage to guide you. And yes lots of people prefer shorter organised walks at a relaxed pace that they can tackle with friends or with physical stamina issues!Marionnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13665817.post-44459109903950601932016-04-26T23:03:52.363+01:002016-04-26T23:03:52.363+01:00Anon was just thinking a shorter bank holiday walk...Anon was just thinking a shorter bank holiday walk might be nice for some people.
