Herb Walk

Finished the Amber weekend with a Herb walk in Dunkeld getting a short guided talk on medical and culinary uses of local plants and trees.

Ben Vrackie and Enchanted Forest

Climbed Ben Vrackie on Saturday morning. Good weather for the ascent. We extended the walk with some orienteering over rough ground and then a long hike back as the weather worsened.

In the evening we played pool and then went to the Enchanted Forest.

Dougie MacLean and Karine Polwart

Max and Colin travelled up to Pitlochry on Friday evening for the Perthshire Amber festival and show with Dougie and Karine at the Edradour Distillery. A great show with both performers doing great sets in a really nice little venue.

Gran Canaria

A very pleasant week for Hannah, Cherry and Colin in Gran Canaria. The weather was great - a little too hot to do much more than lounge by the pool for most of the day. Stayed at the Lopesan Villa Del Conde which was very nice but we preferred the hotel from previous years - the Lopesan Costa Meloneras.
