Five club members participated on this walk: MMon, JMcC, VD, GM, and organiser BR. 


The walk was originally planned for Stucd an Lochain, but due to a forecast for heavy snow and poor visibility, the target was changed to Chapelgill Hill, south of Biggar. The weather was mainly sunny but with some minor rain interludes. The visibility was excellent, and the group went on to do Culter Fell too. All had a great time.
