Oh, Ye of little faith.
For the second week in
a row our trip to Arran was cancelled. Due to a dodgy weather forecast a
decision was taken to postpone this trip and go to the Greenock Cut instead –
not to everybody’s approval though. ‘Aye, I’ll go but ye cannae make me enjoy
it!’ was the comment of one.
However, to the
Greenock Cut we went. This walk has been described many times before in these
pages and so needs no further description here. Suffice to say that in order to
make it more appealing to the grumpy, we decided to do it in a clockwise
direction rather than our usual way. The threatened rain stayed away and at
times the sun blinked though spotlighting the landscape and we were treated to
some superb views across the Clyde to the Argyll and Dunbartonshire hills, the
Arrochar group being pointed out by He who knows these things. Coffee was taken
in our usual lunch stop and lunch was had in our usual coffee halt. Who says we
are creatures of habit?
The walk took us barely
three and a half hours and we were ensconced in the Village Inn in Fairly before
two for FRT. And the forecasted rain? It never appeared and the day was fine
but cold. So, perhaps next week we will get to Arran. Watch this space!
