Early on the Wednesday morning we set off westwards to visit the Ullapool Club. A brief detour to see the suspension bridge over the Corrieshalloch Gorge was well worthwhile. The weather was stunningly good after the weeks of indifferent weather so perhaps an Indian Summer is in prospect. The two visiting German tourists we met half way across the bridge were certainly impressed, but whether that was the weather or the height exposure on a swaying bridge was not clear! Ullapool itself looked fantastic and we were soon enjoying the warm welcome and hospitality of President Rick and his members. There was also a brief opportunity to touch base with area AG John Sutherland who happened to be visiting Ullapool that day. The Club has embarked on expansion in several directions, both aiming to increase their member numbers and substantially increase their fund raising over and above the considerable amounts they already raise. It was with some reluctance that Daphne and I had to take our leave, but the District Council meeting and District Conference due to start on the Friday were already beckoning.
