​Outings

Outing to:​

PictureWood Warbler © David Palmar
Cashel, Loch Lomond
Saturday 29th April 2023



PRICE: Free

TIME:  10:00 - approx. 14:00

VENUE: 
Park at the Cashel Forest Trust visitor centre car park (Grid Ref NS398940).  Note that the car park has a voluntary donation of £3 to support the trust. Meet in the Visitor Centre.
See streetmap.co.uk or search Google Maps for Cashel Forest and Native Forest Centre, Cashel Forest Trust, G63 0AW for the meeting point .
See cashel.org.uk. for the Cashel Forest Trust website.
There are toilet facilities in the centre. Tea, coffee etc. are available for a donation in the visitor centre after the outing.
Note that the bridge on the A809 in Croftamie is still closed, so if approaching by the Stockiemuir Road, allow extra time for a diversion of several miles via Ballat cross-roads, or go via Balloch.
BOOKING INFO: We are not asking participants to book, but if many people turn up, we may have to split into smaller groups.

TERRAIN: Mostly gravel paths, but with some steep slopes which need a reasonable degree of fitness, especially if walking round the whole circuit, which rises to about 290 metres, and extends to about 3 kilometres.

OPTICS: Binoculars essential; scope may have limited use.

FOOTWEAR and CLOTHING: Walking boots ideally, and appropriate clothing for the conditions.
NB: May be postponed due to poor weather. Check this page, SOC website and Clyde Birding on Twitter in advance.
​
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The walk will be led by Ian Fulton, who knows the area well, and Emma Sandhu, the Cashel Ranger. The pace of the walk will be fairly relaxed and the ambience informal, with discussion and questions encouraged. The outing is suitable for birdwatchers of all levels.
Please bring a packed lunch.
We hope to see a variety of woodland birds including spring migrants, perhaps some other wildlife, and good views over Loch Lomond.
​
COVID-19 PRECAUTIONS
In order to keep everyone safe, our walks will be run in accordance with Scottish Government guidelines in place at the time. Please do not attend if you (or anyone in your household) have any Covid-like symptoms.​
