I am told limbs should all be pointing skyward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The advantage of climbing up hills is you get some great views of the surrounding countryside and of course those blue skies. So looks like around a dozen or so in W1s and W2 groups , half dozen W3s ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This Saturday is a more local outing to Fraser Weir. We will car pool out at 1pm onto Hawksburn road , at the bottom of the hill veer left to a car park on the road to Fraser Weir. Jo &amp; Joe will be away ski orienteering<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have ordered some more blue skies. Better not over do it on the walk though,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following on at 6pm is the club\u2019s mid year dinner at the Senior citizens rooms in Skird street . Barrie reminds you if you want a drink , you will need to BYO and &nbsp;BDFB (that\u2019s Bring a Drink For Barrie)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hope to see you all there , or at least at the dinner later on..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gary<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Saturday&nbsp; we head to the Fraser Weir, Hawksburn road area.
