On the morning of Wednesday, 24th July, the members 

 started to motor up Glen Lochay in order to botanise on 

 Beinn Hescarnich, but after going about half a mile they 

 found a notice-board closing the road to motors. There 

 was nothing for it but to return, and it was at once decided 

 to visit Creag-na-Callich and proceed thence to Cam Chreag, 

 from which point the members proposed to descend to meet 

 the motor on the road near Lochan-na-Lairige. Unfortun- 

 ately, before any rocks were reached the part}* found 

 themselves enveloped in a thick fog, so that it was quite 

 impossible to ascend further. The wisest thing would have 

 been to have retraced their steps by the way they came, 

 but owing to the motor having been sent round by road to 

 Lochan-na-Lairige, the party started by aid of map and 

 compass to make their way as best they could in the thick 

 fog in that direction. They found themselves in difficulties 

 and in dangerous proximity to steep rocks more than once, 

 but they eventually found their way to a point in the 

 valley below the level of the fog, from which they could 

 see the motor waiting for them about a mile away. 



Though there was no actual rain, the fog was so laden 

 with moisture that it gave one's clothing the appearance of 

 being frosted all over, and in the circumstances practically 

 nothing could be done in the way of botanising, though the 

 following interesting plants were found on the lower 

 ground visited : —
