The fine weather continued as we met at Dunure for our walk to Culzean Castle and back. This was the first time, as far as your scribe can remember, that we have walked from Dunure in a southerly direction as the ‘usual’ route starts at Maidens and ends up at Dunure.
We normally go the other way |
The first
part of the walk did look and feel different as we climbed the bits we normally
went down and vice versa and it added a different slant to our journey. Glad
to say, the path through the long grass had been strimmed and the beach was
made in about 45 minutes. Coffee was called for immediately and no-one objected
as the day was glorious, although the views were a bit hazy.
The tide was
on its way out so there was no difficulty in reaching Culzean. Davie was right in as much as we arrived there
2 hours after setting off.
This is what it's all about |
The view still takes some beating |
The walk
back along the beach was helped by the fact that the weather had become a bit
overcast, but by the time we had all joined up again at the top of the path
leading up from the beach, the sun was out again in all its glory.
FRT was
taken at the Dunure Inn where we manoeuvred the picnic benches into the shade
for our comfort. Our pleasure was only partly disrupted by some wee yappie dugs
who, to give them the benefit of the doubt, were suffering in the heat. They
should have taken a lead from Holly, who lay and rested in the shade after her
exercise and never made a sound.
Another good
day out!
