It has been a brilliant weekend so far. After a jolly evening at the pub I slept well in my girls' dormitory. I had just one roomie; a lovely girl called Lynsey who is also on a hill-walking weekend with a different walking club. On Saturday morning there was much discussion about routes; Steven, Hilary and I decided to go on an 8 km coastal walk from picturesque Diabeg to the bothy at Craig and back. Steven kindly drove us over the Goat's Pass to Diabeg - the views of mountains and sea were stunning. We set off in grey weather which gradually brightened to a warm and sunny afternoon. Steven and Hilary are such pleasant company; we chatted merrily as we walked along and had a good laugh. When we arrived at Craig we explored the bothy, which has clearly seen better days. I enjoyed swinging on a buoy which was suspended from a tree outside it, although I couldn't get Hilary onto it despite both of our best efforts and much hilarity. We had a few rests on our way back, basking in the sunshine. Everyone else had enjoyed a great afternoon too and after our showers it was time for the traditional communal meal.
This was a veritable feast! The starter was James' pea and mint soup - the ingredients are from our garden. Then we had Hilary's home made lasagne with garlic bread, which was both delicious and plentiful. Then arrived Bob's apple and bramble pie, followed by Kenny's cheese board. A pleasant and convivial evening.
