Ben Venue & the Crianlarich Hills
As we approach the summer solstice, it’s
always great to make the most of the extended hours of daylight and, as we are experiencing this week,
good weather. Consequently, it was most enjoyable
to take a wander over the Menteith Hills near Aberfoyle last night looking at
upland plants as part of a Mountain Training Association (MTA) CPD workshop under the skilful tutelage of
Arthur Jones from (http://www.trossachstreks.co.uk).
Blessed as we were with fine weather, the
evening served not only as a useful education source, but also as an excellent
evening walk in a great part of the country!
Once out of the trees, we were treated to fabulous views in all
directions, but particularly to the north and west where many familiar mountains
were silhouetted against a clear sky and setting sun.
A big thank you to
Arthur for his time and knowledge, and to Belinda Fear at MTA for facilitating
the workshop in the first place.
My Kind of Workshop!
Oh, and the drive home was pretty special too with a bright and beautiful full moon to guide me!
