It seemed like a good idea to have a midsummer evening walk which the Club probably hadn’t organised for quite a few years. A nice warm, dry and clear summer’s evening on the Campsies with great views – that was the theory, but mid-afternoon couldn’t have been wetter, and the rain continued right on into the evening.

But four of us braved the elements to meet near Glengoyne distillery – Henry Perfect, Caroline Thompson, Suzanne Ullmann and Ingrid Parker and then, as if on cue, the rain stopped and the clouds broke up at 7.30pm exactly. We then had an enjoyable stroll up Dumgoyne and down again, with only sporadic attacks from midges, and to round off the evening had a pleasant drink afterwards in the Kirkhouse Inn at Strathblane.

It was a most enjoyable evening and will be repeated next year when hopefully the weather will be better.
