It was a
dreich morning as we set off from Asda’s café in Ardrossan taking our usual
route towards Irvine. By the time we got to the south side of Saltcoats we
could see that major repairs were being made to the sea defences and that our
way ahead was blocked. No problem though, as we followed the diversion on to
the main road before cutting back over to the football ground and continuing
through Sandylands and over the railway footbridge to rejoin our chosen route.
By this time waterproofs had been well removed as the smir had dried up.
Good
progress was made to our normal coffee/lunch spot on Dubbs Road between Stevenston
and Kilwinning. We didn’t delay, however, as the smir/drizzle returned just as
we were settling down, so it was weatherproofs back on before following the
path through the outskirts of Kilwinning and on to Irvine Moor. Approaching the
old Irvine Royal building we took the right fork to the Low Green and over the
footbridge to head straight for Wetherspoon’s where a relaxing and convivial
hour and a half was spent enjoying FRT.
(Three and a
half hours for those interested)
