There were 24 members on the bus for the through walk from Glen Effock (Glen Esk) to the hotel at Glen Clova. The weather was sunny, with a few showers, and windy but good for walking. Twenty members were dropped at Glen Effock just after 10am. There were new deer fences erected since the route was last walked, otherwise no problems. Four members remained on the bus to Clova, one got off at the Minister’s path the rest walked from the hotel to Loch Brandy. The bus departed at 5.55pm shortly after the last walker returned. David
