Idylic

At the foot of Ben Arkle and along the shores of Loch Stack we walked a track that took us over bridges of fast flowing rivers and babbling brooks, seeing herds of deer and sighting wild birds as we went. Eventually the low cloud level lifted and we were able to see Ben Arkle in it's full glory with the great scree band and John described the walking path up to the summit. We walked on to a Forrest are were treated to a gorgeous scent of pine, then through the trees I could glimpse flashes of white and hear a loud roar. A waterfall and a natural quarts stone bridge in a magical setting of Autumn colours red rowan berries and clear blues and greens of the pools in between the falls
On the way home in the car we had listened to highland music played on a penny whistle and chanter and it really suited all our surroundings
Charlie the coordinater of GAP was doing his DJ ing on Oban FM each day this week from 3-4pm, the Mod being from there this year. I just got back in time to have a wee listen in online www.clanradio.com
