SOSOL 2 - South Achray




A long drive in the morning to Aberfoyle for the second SOSOL of the year. The day started badly - 1 hr too early as we discovered we hadn't put the clocks back. The rain
came down in bucket loads but as Max says orienteering is no fun in the sun - the wetter the better.

The course was in real rugged forest with lots of wild rivers in spate. Everyone performed well with the family hauling itself of the bottom of the pack. Hannah came 4th of 6 on Yellow. Max a very good 5th of 11 on Orange and Colin 16th of 41 on Blue.

Afterwards went to the beautiful Loch Katrine. The sun started peeking out and we hired bikes for a 1 hr trip along the loch side.
