After perfect weather on Good Friday it was back to
the wind and the rain for this expedition.
The explorers were: Claire, Ellen McG., Iain, Karen,
Margaret, Robbie plus Pam.
The expedition started from Kinlochmoidart Bridge where
the explorers had another look at the inscriptions and
heard about the development fo the roads in Kinlochmoidart.
They then had a brief run in the cars to Brunery where
they looked at the bridge, the site of the old ford
and then the local houses and saw two interesting carved
gateposts and the route of the path up towards Capt.
Robertson's Cairn.
Then back to the cars and along to the fish hatchery
dam below the March Pool where John told them about
the freshwater mussels, which are now protected by law,
and the problem of the extraction of timber from the
Brunery Wood Plantation. They saw an old photograph
of the suspension bridge used when this wood was planted.
They also saw the old road to Dalilea, which will probably
be the route of a future expedition.
They the expedition moved to the top parking place and
left the cars to walk up to the Glenforslan dam, passing
many rocks and the old fank, which was very sturdy and
probably used for cattle when the droves came through
the Glen.
The Pictures
The Leader unaccountably left the large drawing sheets
behind, so the only pictures were on small sheets. Karen
and Claire drew the only ones I saved: Karen drew the
dam, with concrete steps up face, and a view of the
big fank. Claire drew a stone wall with some sheep and
a picture of Pam and John eating lunch at Mave's.
