EXTRA, EXTRA, EXTRA – READ ALL ABOUT IT!
The Blarney Walking Group is currently in the process of arranging a March 2020 trip to the Cairngorms in Scotland.  Here is a first-draft rough outline of our plans to date:
Friday, March 13th : Flight from Cork Airport to EDINBURGH Airport where we will hire a 9-seater van and do a 2-hour drive north to a village called “Boat of Garten” in the Cairngorms National Park.  There we are booked into nearby Fraoch Lodge (see
https://scotmountainholidays.com/accommodation/ )
The following walks are planned – but may change with the weather conditions!
Saturday, March 14th :
The Cairngorm Artic Plateau and Ben Macdui
Sunday,   March 15th : Beinn Mheadeinn and Loch Avon
Monday,   March 16th : The Lairig Ghru
Tuesday,  March 17th : Drive to Edinburgh Airport, take the return flight to Cork.

“Climb if you will, but remember that courage and strength are nought without prudence,
and that a momentary negligence may destroy the happiness of a lifetime. 
Do nothing in haste; look well to each step; and from the beginning think what may be the end.”
