Cumbrae 19 June

(This walk has been often described before, hence the lack of any great detail)

Enjoying the view on the way down from the Glaid Stone
The day was ideal for walking, bright but with a wee edge to the wind which would keep us from overheating. Having left the 9.45 ferry, we made our way up to the Glaid Stone for coffee. Something strange was happening today - the pace was gentle and there was time to blether and take in the views – the shape of things to come?
Fit fit fits fit fit?


Kilchattan Bay on Bute, from where we started a few weeks back
Costa Clyde right enough
Next stop was the front at Millport where an early lunch was taken at about 11.45. As we sat in the pleasant sunshine overlooking the bay thoughts turned to our next stop. Ian had already mapped out the itinerary for us, so before too long we were on our way up to the Golf Club for the first of today’s refreshments. This truly is the life!
The tearoom at Fintry Bay was our next resting place where ice-creams, Magnums and Soleros were the order of the day.
 The 3 o’clock ferry was made and we retired to McCabe’s for our post walk FRT and debriefing.
Midday snooze for the warrior
A fine day out!
