Lost Dog

A lady phoned today to ask if we could keep our eyes open for a lost dog. It went missing on Sunday morning on the Kinlochleven to Fort William stretch of the WHW. It is a brown terrier called Davie. Please contact me on 01855 821277 if you have any news.

Model T Ford on Ben Nevis

As you are probably aware there is an attempt being made to carry a Model T Ford to the summit of Ben Nevis on 18th of May to celebrate the centenary of car being driven to the summit in 1911.
The above event is being organised by the John Muir Trust and the Model T Ford Registry of Great Britain.
We have managed to get over 60 volunteers to help carry the dismantled car to the summit, but feel that we need a few more!!
Would any members of Nevis Hillwalkers be interested in lending a hand ?
If you require any further information ,please do not hesitate to contact me by e-mail or mobile on 07771 532370
Cheers Spook

Charity Hillwalk Challenge

I am sending you information on a charity hillwalk challenge that we are undertaking next month, helping wheelchair athlete Kenny Herriot to the top of Broad Cairn.
Kenny is an enormous character and since being confined to a wheelchair has undertaken many unusual challenges, this will be his first Munro, and we are looking for enthusiastic people to help him. The two charities which will benefit are Shopmobility Aberdeen and the North East Disabled Veterans Association, both small charities who do enormous works with very small funds.
If you, or any of your members require any further information please feel free to contact me.
Thank you in advance for any help you can give to promote our challenge.
Best regards

New Walks Programme

As we are about half way through the current programme, I am hoping that some (or all!) of you will give me some ideas for walks for the next quarter, July/August/September. The daylight hours will still be long, so the walks can also be long, the drives long, or not. Just let me know your favourites or ones that you have not done, but would like to. You can email me or see me on a walk.

Walk, Sat. 14 May

As the email to all members is no longer working, I am using the blog to let you know that I will not be out on the next walk as my wife and I are going on holiday to the Isle of Arran for one week.

It is possible that there will be no-one from Oban on this walk, as Ralph is going on a GPS course, along with Martine and Ken, and Ian and Sue are away.

Summmmer?

I know Jean's probably been in them since Boxing Day but Saturday was my first walk in shorts. That says something about the weather doesn't it? Thankfully there are no photos to scare you with..

Jungfrau Map

I've arrived home from the Loch Leven Hotel talk with an extra map, of Jungfrau. Let me know if it belongs to you and I'll post it on. Or perhaps it came from the hotel library ?
