Paul Graham from an Taigh-Osda still enjoys his time off and made a walk this afternoon with his parents, both well in their 80's, all the way up to Killinallan and Ardnave. Quite an achievement!

He will hopefully be able to publish a report on the event in the following issue of the Ileach. Additionally, Paul would like to canvass interest in starting a Motor Club on Islay and attract members who have classic cars, tractors, lorries, sports cars, kit cars or a general interest in motors of any type. More news on that will follow....
