05 April 2025Abriachan
Saturday, 5th April was a beautiful spring morning, very sunny but a cold wind, when eight members came on the outing to Abriachan. We parked at the Abriachan Forest car park and walked through the wood to the bird hide overlooking Loch Laide. A heron was on the side of the loch and several ducks too far away to know what the they were.
On return to the car park we decided it was a too nice day to be in the forest so moved the cars to the village hall car park and walked down the road to Balchraggan. From there a track heads west high above Loch Ness which afforded a wonderful view of the loch. Daisies and wood anemones were the only flowers seen, things being later due to the height and exposure of the area. When we reached a picnic table we stopped for a welcome lunch.
After lunch several members carried on along the track and the rest headed back to the cars. A very pleasant walk enjoyed by all.
