Camasunary 3 October 2018

David's short report on this walk - he was unable to attend himself:

"A varied day weather wise - but then again us U3A’ers are a hardy bunch.

 Ray commented:  Very enjoyable walk to Camasunary today. Great company, great conversation and great scenery.

Luckily no-one was killed or maimed during today's adventure.  (said with a smile and a wink!)

 Unfortunately Sue's camper ended up in the ditch and Linda dived into the river. (She absolutely refused to repeat it so I could take a photo.)

Charlie Commented:  Great walk and companions!  And thanks to Linda for organising the walk and day!"

My own memory of the walk was that showers were somewhat heavier and more prolonged than the weather forecasts had predicted. We only realized later that Nick had left his waterproof coat in the car; who knows whether this was a case of forgetfulness, brazen machismo, or inappropriate optimism. But whenever the sun broke through the cloud cover we were treated to an endless sequence of rainbows. For lunch the group split into softies, who retired to the Camasunary bothy to eat in comfort, and the toughs, including Jess the cockapoo (though she didn't have much choice), who consumed their victuals perched on wet jagged rocks in the rain.
