This was an unusual outing, since I wasn't there. I had cancelled
the expedition but I was gratified that Johnny was prepared
to organise one in my absence. So this information is second-hand,
but I think the details are correct. They had five explorers:
Alasdair C., Edward, Fern, Robbie C. and Rowan, with five
helpers, Howard, Johnny, Maggie, Paul and Sharon. No dogs
on this trip.
I had given them a map with some details so they were able
to spot the cultivation ridges and corn kiln at High Blain
and followed the path to the top of the hill with no trouble.
This was a special expedition since Maggie and Paul were botanists
and everyone spent a lot of time pointing out plants and getting
them identified. So much so that by the time they reached
the top of the path above Briaig, it was time to turn back
for home again! They never reached the village.
By all accounts, everyone learned a lot about the local plants,
I wish I had been there.
