OUTDOOR GROUP 2008 (Tolmie's Tearoom Trot)
March 29 - Short walk from Carsaig to Crinan. 5 to 6 miles forestry track.
Morning coffee Tayvallich/Afternoon tea Crinan or The Smiddy.
April 12 - Short walk - The Ballachulish Circle 5-6 miles forestry track.
Morning coffee Visitor Centre/Afternoon Tea Tighphuirt.
April 26 - Easy walk Fassfern and Glenloy (Caledonian Canal) 7 / 8 miles
Afternoon Tea Fort William or Tighphuirt.
May 17 - North Arran. Catacol to Lochranza 8/9 miles hill track
Can be done on the day or by utilising local B/B .
June 7 - Corrour Halt to Fersit via Loch Ossian. 12 long miles on track
Iron Horse to Corrour. T and P on train ahead of a big day.
Definitely no cream teas at the Lodge!
July 5 - Ben Lawers 3984 feet via Beinn Ghlas. Tourist Track from N/T
Centre at 1500 feet. 6/7 miles.
Cuppa at N/T tearoom
followed by late afternoon tea in Killin (choice).
July 26 - Kerrera walk. A few miles to work off the rigours of previous
two considerable efforts. Tea and carrot cake at Gylen.
August 23 - North Mull walk. Another of Tolmie’s treats.
At a guess 8 miles around the Tobermory area.
Those with bus passes be sure to bring them. Afternoon tea
guaranteed (On the ferry if stuck).
Sept 6 - Beinn Narnain and Beinn Ime 5/8 miles on well defined
mountain tracks. (Total vertical ascent in excess of 4000 ft)
Bearing in mind that this is a climb from sea level,
it will not be deemed obligatory to do both.
However, this ascent dovetails with a fund raising effort,
‘Aran Agus Im’, endorsed by Scottish International Relief at Dalmally to provide a shelter/kitchen for a School awaiting ‘Mary’s Meals’ in Malawi. It is an opportunity for Kilmore and Oban to support this initiative. In other words not only will you be knackered but you will have to put your hand
in your pocket too! Teas will therefore be dependent upon your residual change.
Sept 20 – Lismore walk A gentle sojourn on roads and paths.
Teas available but careful don’t miss that ferry.
Oct 4 – Lochearnhead to Callander 12 miles by hill track.
A fair drag of 1500 ft over the east side of Beinn Vorlich
followed by a pleasant descent with your sights on the distant
Wallace Monument at Stirling (well on a good day that is!)
Coffee and Teas aplenty for the poor and for the gentry.
Nov 1 - Somewhere up Musdale ending the season, as we began it,
with a coffee and a bun – probably at Robin’s Nest.
Morning coffee Tayvallich/Afternoon tea Crinan or The Smiddy.
