11 Mar 20: Eynort Forest (in three seasons) - walking group

A great day was had by all on this excellent all weather walk .... which was well proven today.

1 We started Dry.

2. We ended Dry.

3 We saw some sunshine.

What more can you ask? 

Really great company, social isolation at its best.  In the middle of nowhere eating lunch in a blizzard

which we watched coming in from the Hebrides.

Just what the Skye U3A is about.

Thanks, folks, for another great day. Thanks too, Christine, for great shortbread and tea.

20 Dec 19 - Aros

A Step It Up walk in the forest behind Aros.

Nice walk, pleasant company and conversation

followed (of course!) by tea, toffee soup and goodies in Aros.

25 Jun 19 - Kingsburgh Forest Nature Walk

Only three of us could make the walk up Glen Hinnisdal - a shame as it was lovely, a bit windy but quite warm. 

Starting at the entrance gates (NG398572), just by the Hinnisdal Bridge

Walked as far as we could up the forest track, 

which ended at a gate with a fence across it at NG437 581. 

Nice views over the moorland up towards the cloud covered Trotternish Ridge 

and the waterfalls.

Picnic lunch by the River crossing near the end of the walk.

Not much wildlife around apart from the usual Hoodies, a Cuckoo, (heard but not seen), Small heath butterflies (too quick to photo), a spider 

and a Green Tiger Beetle spotted by Colin.
