January’s Lochearnhead log cabin weekend was excellent. Weather was cold but kind. The company was first class and the craic great. Most people went out walking on the Saturday and quite a few headed along the old railway track to the Kings House hotel in Balquhidder for lunch. Marjorie ventured onto two wheels without an engine for the first time in 15 years. Jim dropped us at the top of Glen Ogle and much to the amusement of the two Toms Marjorie wobbled her way back down to Lochearnhead and then sailed on to Balquhidder absolutely brilliant. 30 people sat down to excellent dinners cooked by Marjorie and Jim on Friday and Saturday night. Steve did a great job cooking the breakfasts on both days. A big thank you to Tom and others who brought along made up rolls for Friday and Saturday lunch. Thanks to Dave’s wife Kim and his mother-in-law for the meat pie and baked ham. Thanks to everyone for pitching in with the cooking, serving, washing up etc. Every time I saw Ian he was emptying the rubbish bin – thanks Ian. Many thanks must also go to the guys who gave up their normal cabins, with only minor grumps, so that the 6 couples attending could have a small cabin each. This was my first full Lochearnhead weekend and to be truthful I was not looking forward to the “spartan” accommodation but I have to say that the log cabin was perfectly acceptable I was not cold, my bunk was comfortable and the toilet and shower block was warm and clean. I had a really enjoyable weekend with a great bunch of people in a superb part of the country and sorry folks you will have to put up with me again at the May weekend. Look forward to seeing you all there if I don’t see you before. Judy Lepley
