MEET THE ARRAN MOUNTAIN FESTIVAL WALK LEADERS

PAULINE BARR



What do you do when you don’t lead walks for the Arran Mountain Festival?

Having not long retired from teaching I do more hillwalking, spend time with my grandchild and run after my husband.

Why do you volunteer as an Arran Mountain Festival walk leader?

I love walking on Arran and like to share the hills with others.

Tell us about a favourite mountain moment.

Breaking out of a cloud inversion to walk over beautiful, calm, sunny hills.

What is your favourite Arran walk?

The Ridge from Sannox over Cioch na h'Oighe, Mullach Buidhe and North Goatfell to Goatfell over the Stacach Ridge. Favourite Scottish view is from the top of Goatfell.

Which piece of kit would you not head into the hills without?

My piece.

What is your favourite breakfast before a long day out in the mountains?

Porridge.

Pauline is leading the Three Beinns walk on Saturday and the Through the glens walk on Monday.
