Dean Park to Craufurdland
Dougie, Gus, Jimmy, Johnny, Malcolm, Robert, (Ian D, Billy)
Allan being unwell Malcolm had only Johnny to pickup. We arrived in Dean Park at 0930 just ahead of Robert and Jimmy. Dougie and Gus were not far behind. All that were going to walk had assembled before 0945. Previous week's experience made us wary of leaving before 1000. At 1000 we set off at a brisk pace towards Craufurdland in cool conditions with a sky threatening rain. An hour’s walking found us at the Laird’s Table where we pondered our return journey. Would we take the longer round trip or retrace our steps? The weather settled any discussion for as we finished off our repast the forecast rain arrived and we settled for the shortest route. Steady rain and mainly downhill had us back at the cars for 1210. Lunch in First Edition was now the aim. We six were joined by Ian D and Billy for what turned out to be a convivial FRT and lunch.
Writing this account a week after the event. How good is my memory? Adjust as you see fit.
