In 2009, in partnership with the National Park Authorities, this work was extended to determine the special qualities of the two National Parks, including the National Scenic Areas within them. The result of the work for the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park is reported here. Main findings • The park is large and diverse with significantly different landscape characteristics in different areas. Hence as well as listing the landscape qualities which are generic across the park, the qualities for the four landscape areas of Argyll Forest, Loch Lomond, Breadalbane and the Trossachs are also given.

In order to make the task less onerous it has been decided to create the additional position of Assistant Publications Secretary, this will allow the task of preparing the individual returns from the groups to be split on a roughly north-south basis. The new team are very aware of the huge amount of work that Mike has done over the years and have benefited by the detailed preparation notes and guidance that he was able to pass on to the team. There have been concerns over the imposed brevity of the walk descriptions following the need to minimise postage costs and although there is still a need to be careful with expenditure, it is now considered that we can return to more complete descriptions, ............................................. Articles and Letters: We welcome articles and letters on any subject related to RA matters. Please contact the Publications Secretary to discuss any article before it is submitted. Letters should be brief and to the point; we reserve the right to edit letters and require the full name and postal address of any correspondent.

Note: Due to the nature of the arrangements for this week - several cars being used, people spread across a wide range of accommodation, and variable mountain weather - it is not practicable to plan a daily schedule of walks in advance. The walks for each day will therefore be decided on the morning at the meeting place, and will depend on weather conditions and availability of volunteer leaders. It is the responsibility of each individual to be at the 9.15 a.m. meeting in order to ensure they have input into the decisions on which walks they would like to see take place. Suggested routes Because of the large potential walking area around Crianlarich, the following are only a small sample of the walks available in this area, and they can all be modified (shortened or lengthened), depending on the people in the party and the weather.
