Scouts Brave Scotland's Summer Weather - 20-07-2010

Three interpid Scouts and 4 leaders braved the Scottish summer weather on 3rd July to summit Beinn Ghlas near Killin.

Leaving from the Ben Lawers visitor centre, the Scouts explored the flora and fauna of the Ben Lawers National Nature reserve, as well as hearing about the archaeological work in the area (http://www.benlawers.org.uk/). Whilst the walk started in sunshine with light drizzle, as the summit approached the wind picked up and the visibility dropped so having grabbed a quick lunch near the summit, we decided the best option was to leave Ben Lawers itself for another day (when we could see it!) and to make for the tea room.

Having climbed 1103m we felt we deserved tea and scones anyway. Once we were warm and dry in the tea room we agreed if had been a good day out despite the weather!
