Meeting Places/Times Car park at the Woollen Mill (Ben Nevis Highland Centre), junction of Glen Nevis and A82 roads, Fort William – 08:00 departure. Alternatively, join at the following places when going: beyond Spean Bridge - Spean Bridge Woollen Mill, 08:20; over the Corran Ferry - Corran Ferry slip, 08:25 ; to Glencoe or the A82 south - Glencoe Village car park (by mountain rescue post), 08:30 ; to Kinlochleven or the Oban Road (A828) - St Brides School, North Ballachulish, 08:25. If in doubt, or if you want to join the group elsewhere, contact the coordinator. Programme Layout The area we are going to is indicated opposite the date of the walk. The relevant O.S. 1:50K map number is given, with the grid reference of the starting point of the walks. Suggestions for other walks in the same area are welcome. It is club policy that each walk will include an experienced member. Walk distances and heights of ascent are estimates. Gaelic translations are in italics. The programmed walks and routes are flexible. Other walks and/or routes in the same area may be undertaken by some or all of the members who attend. Co-ordinators For each outing, we have a "walk coordinator". See the Walks Programme to find out who this is. The co-ordinator is not a leader, and members should not expect to be led on a club walk. We hope to encourage self-confidence and self-reliance on the hills, with experienced members helping those less experienced, if required. The onus is on members to provide relevant information to the co-ordinator. This will aid the organization and safety on the hill. There is a need by members for good communication (before the walk, on and off the hill and at the end of the walk), responsibility, duty of care and awareness of others. Checking Arrangements and Walk Details Further information about the walks can be obtained by studying the map and referring to the many guidebooks available for our region. Information about routes, weather and avalanche conditions will be found on the web. See our website for links. To check arrangements and discuss details for any walk, please contact the coordinator. Let the coordinator know what you want to do, either before the day of the walk or at the meeting point. Members doing through routes must ensure they make their own arrangements for transport at the end of the day. Safety and Equipment Remember that safety is your responsibility. Read the Code of Practice, found in the Club Handbook on our website. It contains a list of appropriate clothing and equipment that all members should have on the hill. Attention is drawn to the need for crampons and ice axe in winter. Please ensure you are fit enough on the day to complete the route you want to do, under the prevailing weather conditions. After the Walks; We aim to meet and socialise in a convenient inn or cafe in the area. When making suggestions for walks in future programmes, it may be easier to copy/paste descriptions in your email from websites such as www.walkhighlands.co.uk , although different routes are also appreciated Sat. 31 Dec.

    CITATION BEN LUI SITE OF SPECIAL SCIENTIFIC INTEREST Argyll and Bute, Stirling Site code: 188 PLANNING AUTHORITY: Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park Authority Argyll and Bute Council NATIONAL GRID REFERENCE: NN 260268 OS 1:50,000 SHEET NO: Landranger Series 50, 56 1:25,000 SHEET NO: Explorer Series 364, 377 AREA: 2928.26 hectares NOTIFIED NATURAL FEATURES Geological: Structural and metamorphic geology: Dalradian Mineralogy: Mineralogy of Scotland Biological: Upland habitats: Upland assemblage Vascular plants: Vascular plant assemblage Invertebrates: Invertebrate assemblage DESCRIPTION Ben Lui Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) is an extensive site situated in the Southern Highlands at the head of Glen Fyne. The SSSI contains four high peaks, with Ben Lui, at 1,130 m, the best known mountain within this western outlier of the Breadalbane Hills. Together with Ben Oss (1,028 m), Beinn Dubhchraig (978 m), Beinn a’ Chleibh (917 m) and Meall nan Tighearn (739 m) the area is renowned for its exceptionally rich and varied upland flora. The range of altitude and geology present at the site supports a diversity of habitats including important late snowbed communities on peaks and high corries, ledge and cliff vegetation, heath, montane willow scrub, grasslands, soligenous mires and on, the southern flanks of Meall nan Tighearn, an extensive blanket bog. The Dalradian rocks underpinning the biodiversity of the site are of mineralogical importance for three reasons. Firstly, it is one of the few sites in within the Dalradian where proximal-style exhalative sulphide mineralisation can be readily demonstrated. Secondly, it is the only site where a feeder zone for stratabound mineralisation has been positively identified.

    EARL'S SEAT. BY REV. A. GORDON MITCHELL. ON 9th August, accompanied by Rev. Mr. Scrymgeour, of the Presbyterian Church, Jersey, I set out for Earl's Seat, the highest of the Campsie Fells (1894). The morning was bright and promising, the air sharp and exhilarating; and although the sky was by no means cloudless, the country was flooded with almost uninterrupted sunshine. Proceeding for some hundred yards or so along that por- tion of the Balfron road now known locally as the King's Mile from the fact that our gracious King, when Prince of "Wales, drove backwards and forwards there for some time admiring the view of Loch Lomond and the heights that form the sky-line beyond it, we left the high road and struck across country to the south. The first part of the walk was easy, being over hay stubble and grass. We paused a moment to admire the floral symbol of our native land as abundantly represented in one of the fields through which we passed. Its " bush of spears ", its purple crown of such exquisite softness and beauty, its capacity for dis- seminating its species over the earth by means of its flying " down " mark it out as a singularly appropriate emblem of a country noted for the valour of its men, the beauty of its women, and the ubiquity of its children. It was no doubt bad farming, but true patriotic sentiment, that made Robert Burns turn "the weeder-clips aside and spare " the emblem dear ". Safely escaping from " barbed wire entanglement", we came upon a group of Scots fir, the grass being dotted with a few flowers of the scabious and Theragged Cairngormrobin species.
