The arrival of rain on a dreich NE wind was perfectly timed for first away on the circuit of the Courhope forest and Kilrubie Hill. Low cloud added to the navigational challenge despite what I thought would be helpful and very clear clues at all the critical junctions. Not so! – with one or two going astray to tackle unnecessary barriers and additional distance. One launched his bold bid for this year’s wooden spoon with an imaginative off-map northern detour to avoid the Kilrubie cloudbase. Much thanks to the rapidly scrambled search squad who, along with the delayed bold explorer, eventually dried out in the restaurant over a meal that somehow seemed to get mixed up with one arranged for the local weightwatchers group but priced for an EU commissioners’ convention. I had about 20 micro-chips forcing me to scavenge off handy adjacent diners.
Photos unlikely (offers?) due to low light levels and Digby’s excursion to another country.
