Walk from Braeval

	We start our walk from the car park at Braeval, near Aberfoyle. It is February. The weather is rather dull, but at least it is dry and mild map
	Soon the track divides, and we fork right map
	11:10am Fred particularly likes collecting rotifers from this small pool. Once we came here in the snow and I did a painting of it
	He stops to take a sample
	From here the path rises and enters the forest
	We pass through the forestry, cross a ford and come to a stile map
	Fred climbs over the stile
	Looking back over the stile to the forestry
	11:40am Soon we come to another ford map
	12:00 Another stile has to be climbed, and then we are in the open map
	12:10pm Ahead and to the right we see a group of trees where we often have our picnic
	At the top of the next hill I found some woodcock feathers
	12:45 Now we see the loch beyond
	We arrive at the loch map
	Fred collects some more samples
	He strains the samples before emptying them into jars
	1:15pm From the nearby viewpoint there is a magnificent view to Ben Ledi
	Fred collects some more samples at the far end of the loch...
	near a small boat house Now we have to walk all the way back again
