To add a little bit of amusement to proceedings at Sunday's Club barbecue, I devised a 20 question quiz which everyone got involved in. Gerry came out on top and graciously shared around the winning chocolates.
What amazed me was how difficult the quiz was - it's totally different compiling questions when you have the reference books in front of you to note down the answers.
Some participants left behind their answers sheets and I got a few laughs from some of the answers :
Q : Who wrote the Old Man of Lochnagar ?
A : Prince Charles - other answers ranged from The Corries,Paul McCartney,
to Robert Burns !
Q : What is the name of the demoted Munro at the Rest and be Thankful ?
A : Beinn an Lochain. Stuck for gaelic words one participant answered " Ben Blether " !!
Q : What is "Culicoides Impunctatus " ?
A : A midge ( or Highland Midge).
Some answers received :
" A rescue helicopter that arrives late " !!
"Something Nasty" !!
"A bacteria causing occasional diarrhoea " !!
Q : Which type of aircraft crashed on Beinn Eighe in 1952 ?
A : Lancaster
The best answer was " a UFO " - and this was suitably illustrated on the answer sheet !!
Thanks everyone for entering into the spirit of the event, and for the humour, which I greatly enjoyed.
