Across the Loch Episode 12 - 30th June 2025

This  episode of the local podcast for  the Argyll communities of Colintraive and Glendaruel sees Kirsty and Michael interviewing "Gramps"  - long time Glendaruel resident Martin McFarlane - who, having beaten prostate cancer is a strong supporter of the local NHS.   So strong in fact that he is fundraising for Sir Chris Hoy's Prostate charity by undertaking  a 60k bike ride this September.  (Sponsorship details are in the podcast)  Martin also recalls arriving in the Glen in 1964 , swimming across the loch which features in the podcast's title , and surviving two major forestry accidents.    The podcast also features the usual "What's On " spot and discussions about an upcoming meeting in  Colintraive  Hall about the recent Argyll Rally , complaints about the sight lines on local roads because of lack of verge cutting and a preview of the process likely to arise from the proposed  re-powering the Cruach Mhor Wind Farm.
