《Falls of Dochart and Lochan Lairig Cheile》

這是條中等挑戰的路線. 最佳時間是3-9月. 從Killin出發, 穿過River Dochart 欣賞急流景色然後進入松林. 小徑穿過公路爬上Lochan Lairig Cheile. 小徑返回公路再穿過森林到達起點. 在崎嶇不平的小徑上要小心, 尤其是在潮濕的天氣. 需要一對行山鞋.

蘇格蘭洛蒙德湖(Loch Lomond)和特羅薩克斯山脈(Trossachs)內有有很多美麗嘅瀑布. Dochart 瀑布絕對是壯觀的一個, 瀑布特點是穿過村莊的中心及翻滾嘅急流流過平坦嘅岩石. 尤其降雨後當水流上漲時, 尤其澎湃, 營造出雷鳴般嘅奇觀, 周圍亦環繞著崎嶇景觀及歷史.

多沙特橋(Bridge of Dochart)
瀑布上的大橋始建於 1764 年, 1834 年洪水後重建. 可以從橋上觀看瀑布, 不過相當狹窄, 有時會有汽車想要過橋.

Falls of Dochart Inn（多沙特瀑布酒店）
Dochart Inn 從外面的座位可以欣賞到瀑布的美景. 最近還推出左自己嘅Falls of Dochart Gin.

• 攝影：瀑布提供了很多絕佳角度, 尤其是從橫跨急流的標誌性大橋上.

• 野生動物觀賞：留意周邊地區有當地動物群；如蒼鷺(Herons)及水獺(Otters).

預計時間：4h 4min(步行）

Edinburgh in lockdown as schools and businesses close due to extreme wind Edinburgh has woken up to hurricane-force winds today as Storm Éowyn sweeps across the country.

What should I expect?
明天可能會造成的影響？

週五 [風暴 Éowyn] 非常強的風造成非常危險的情況和重大破壞.

Very strong winds associated with [Storm Éowyn] causing very dangerous conditions and significant disruption on Friday

因暴風而橫飛的碎片對生命造成危險. 大浪和海灘的物件會被拋到沿海道路、海濱和房屋上。駕駛時道路上樹木可能會倒下做成非常危險.
影響電力服務（例如手機覆蓋）. 建築物和房屋受損，屋頂被吹掉，電線被拉倒. 道路、橋樑和鐵路線關閉，公共汽車、火車、渡輪服務和航班延誤和取消。

Flying debris resulting in danger to life
Large waves and beach material being thrown onto coastal roads, sea fronts and homes.
Very dangerous driving conditions with fallen trees on roads.
Power cuts affecting other services, such as mobile phone coverage.
Damage to buildings and homes, with roofs blown off and power lines brought down.
Roads, bridges and railway lines closed, with delays and cancellations to bus, train, ferry services and flights.

1. Protecting your property from damage and other people from injury

Don't risk injury to others or damage to your property. Check for loose items outside your home and plan how you could secure them in high winds.
Items include:

bins
plant pots
garden furniture (bring inside or secure in place)
trampolines (turn upside down or secure with tent pegs)
sheds (ensure doors are locked)

2. Things you can do before a journey

Windy weather can cause delays and make driving conditions dangerous. Follow these few simple steps to prepare before journeys:

Plan your route, check for delays and road closures
Listen out for travel updates on your car radio/sat nav
If you don't have essentials in your car then pack for the worst (warm clothing, food, drink, blanket, torch)
Take a fully charged mobile phone with an in-car charger or battery pack.

3. Driving safely in strong wind

Driving in these conditions can be dangerous, for yourself and other road users. If you must drive, you can do this more safely by:

Driving slowly to minimise the impact of wind gusts
Be aware of high sided vehicles/caravans on more exposed roads
Be cautious overtaking high sided vehicles/caravans
Make sure you hold the steering wheel firmly
Give cyclists, motorcyclists, lorries and buses more room than usual
More about travelling in storms, rain and heavy wind.

4. Staying safe when you're at the coast

If you live or work on the coast take extra care during windy and stormy weather. Keep yourself and others safe by following these simple steps:

Check the forecasts and tides in your local area here
Beware of large waves, even from the shore large breaking waves can sweep you off your feet and out to sea
Take care if walking near cliffs – know your route and keep dogs on a lead
In an emergency 999 (UK) or 112 (Ireland) and ask for the Coastguard.

5. Avoiding injury if you're out and about

Being outside in high winds makes you more vulnerable to injury. Stay indoors as much as possible. If you do go out, try not to walk or shelter close to buildings and trees.

Be prepared for weather warnings to change quickly. When a weather warning is issued, stay up to date with the weather in your area.

Midlothian and East Lothian have announced schools closed tomorrow.
Edinburgh will be the next, keep an eye on it.

⚠️ Snow/Ice Warning ⚠️
Tips for driving on snow and ice

1. Slowing down is the most important thing to do when driving on ice and snow. High speeds make it both easy to lose control and difficult to stop. You should never be driving faster than 45mph in any vehicle when roads are icy - not even on motorways! In many cases, much slower speeds are necessary. You can slide off of the road on certain types of more treacherous icing - like black ice - at 10mph or less! If you're fishtailing or sliding at all, it means you are going too fast for the conditions.

2. Brake application is a common trigger of slides that result in a loss of vehicle control. ABS (antilock brakes) do not work well on ice and snow and often will lock up your wheels regardless. Sliding wheels are uncontrollable, that is, steering input will not change the vehicle's direction if the wheels are sliding.

3. If you're fishtailing or sliding, it usually means you are going too fast. Reduce your speed so you won't need to worry about this! Most high-speed slides are difficult to correct successfully. If you're caught off guard and begin sliding, turn your wheels in the direction that the rear of your car is sliding. It helps to look with your eyes where you want the car to go and turn the steering wheel in that direction. It is easy to steer too far, causing the car to slide in the other direction. If this happens (called overcorrecting), you'll need to turn in the opposite direction.

4. Don't stop for accidents or stranded vehicles along an icy roadway.

5. Being a Good Samaritan is a noble thing, but on an icy road, it can cause more problems than it solves. Parking on the side of an icy highway can cause passing drivers to brake and lose control, putting the lives of everyone involved in danger. Unless the stranded driver is in immediate danger, the best thing you can do is contact the authorities (call 999), who are equipped to safely block the road or divert traffic while a tow truck can do the job properly.

6. Avoid hills or other dangerous roads during icy conditions.

7. The laws of physics are unforgiving! If you attempt to tackle a steep enough incline, there is nothing you can do to stop gravity from taking its toll.

Stay Safe！

Met office 已發佈今晚同聽日愛丁堡結冰嘅黃色天氣警告。 該警告涵蓋整個蘇格蘭中部和東部，於今晚9點生效，一直持續到聽日上午10點。“未經處理嘅表面會結冰，可能會導致一些運輸中斷並增加事故發生的可能性。建議喺未經處理嘅道路、人行道和單車徑上注意結冰，可能會導致駕駛時有危險、結冰嘅路面上滑倒和跌倒而受傷的風險。

《Sepa 洪水警告》高達80英里/小時的陣風可能會襲擊蘇格蘭西北部，“大浪和海裡嘅物件會被扔到沿海道路、海濱；財產上可能會造成損害和有生命危險”。

《黃色警告》將從周日零晨 3 點開始生效，直到當晚 11 點 59 分，而更嚴重的黃色警告將從上午 9 點生效。

預計周日零晨到週一中午整個英國都會有大風，但在蘇格蘭、北愛爾蘭、英格蘭西北部和威爾士西北部的部分地區，出現一些中斷的可能性增加。

這些強風與高漲的春天大潮互相結合可能會造成一些影響。

《建議在 10 月學校假期期間旅行的家庭檢查是否取消。》
