It was a stunning weekend, with lovely autumn sunshine, beautiful colours and crisp clear views. What more could you ask for?

The brilliant weather meant that everybody ventured out for some exercise or other, including the parents who used reciprocal babysitting to ensure they went out at least one of the two days. Various ascents were made, including Roshven (of course), Beinn Resipol, and a couple of the Glenfinnan Corbetts near Loch Eil. Brian managed to maintain his record of never having descended Roshven in daylight, but still made it back just in time for dinner.

Those who didn’t feel like hillwalking opted for lesser pursuits: walking to Peanmanach bothy (Morag, athy and Froach); cycling to Loch Ailort Inn (Andrew and Maureen) (and for once not going in, or so they would have us believe!); taking the boat out (Tonys x 2); and hardest of all, playing on the beach (Gavin & Cormac).

As usual there was a large communal meal on the Saturday evening provided by Morag, Neil and Debbie which was much appreciated, and a barrel on tap provided by Andrew. Thanks to all involved for a good meet.
