Whitelees to Waterside 6th Nov.

Participants- Allan, Malcolm, David C, Alan, Robert, Peter, Jimmy, Rex and Paul.

Met at the usual place in Waterside without any complaints from irate residents. Transported to Whitelees visitors' centre for morning coffee courtesy of the kitty. Waterproofs donned before starting off as the forecast was poor. We walked around Lochgoin to the spine road close to the covenanter's monument. The route from here is best described using the wind turbine numbers. Follow the spine road to turbine 6, turn right shortly afterwards towards turbine 209 and then turn right again to turbines 210, 211 and 212. This route avoids the boggy stretch behind Lochgoin farm and Craigandunton reservoir. Lunch was consumed below 212. We then continued to 213 and turned left to get back to our normal route, i.e. Kiwi Lodge road and eventually Waterside. F.R.T. was taken in the King's Arms, Fenwick. The beer and chips went down well.

This is the most (yawn) interesting blog post (yawn) I've ever read. I'm going to read it again tonight before I go to bed. What a cure for insomnia. Counting turbines instead of sheep - now that's novel!
