Not a walk in Perthshire

Today I was checkpointing our Gold D of E group on their Practice Expedition in Perthshire. James loyally came with me although he did have a Corbett that he wanted to climb in the area, so he had a good walk. I wasn't quite so lucky; after dropping James off I had planned to walk south from Lochearnhead to meet with the pupils but before I even arrived I got a call to tell me that one of the pupils had taken ill. They gave me their grid reference and I drove the car up a scarily rough and narrow track to find them. I then took the unwell pupil with me and the rest of the group continued on their route. I arranged to meet her parents in Callendar and we all had a coffee together before they set off home. It was then time to collect James and go back north to checkpoint the pupils at Killin. The weather had been dry most of the day but by 4 o'clock the clouds came over and the group had to walk the last 5 km in heavy rain. James and I nipped off for a cup of tea then met them at their campsite. It has been a pleasant day in lovely countryside but unfortunately no walking for me!
