Not the Greenock Cut! 6 May

Allan, Davie C, Davie Mc, Gus, Johnny, Malcolm, Paul, Rex

As usual, Davie does the walk in jig time!

Another tall story. Rex has heard it all before!

As you know, Cornalees can be approached from the main road or from the Brisbane Glen road. When the advanced guard turned off the main A78, a sign was seen which said that the road was closed, except for local access. We continued on regardless and were astounded to see that the normally quiet car park was choc-a-bloc with trucks, cars and huge caravans. This, as we discovered, was the paraphernalia required to film scenes for the forthcoming series of ‘Shetland’ and not, as we had hoped, for Ooters-The Movie. Getting parked was proving difficult, but Rex was having greater difficulty, as he had come up the Brisbane Glen road and found that the road down to Cornalees was shut off for filming. By the wonders of modern technology we were able to make contact with him, and since the film crew were unable to offer us parts as extras, we showed a remarkable amount of compassion and agreed to meet him back at Portencross to do the circular. (We had thought of applying the motto but, since we needed his kitty money, it was decided that this was a better option).

The walk was done in the anti-clockwise direction and having set off at eleven, we were back at the cars at quarter to two having stopped at our usual coffee and lunch places. We had experienced a couple of showers but, all in all, the weather was kind to us again.

FRT was taken at Wetherspoon’s in Irvine.

A decent day out after all!

Just a picture to fill up the blog!
