At 10:03 am 6 Ooters were waiting with arms outstretched, pointing at their watches as Davie Mc pulled into the car park at Tinto Hill just a teeny weeny bit late. Before long we had set out on a glorious, sunny morning to do our normal circular route of this area and the weather was to remain so for the rest of the walk, providing us with good conditions underfoot and fabulous(!) visibility. It was the usual pech up to the top of the hill with all of us reaching the viewfinder in about an hour and a quarter; there we met an extremely attractive young lady who told us that it had only taken her 58 minutes. We had a good 10 minute break for coffee and to enjoy the panoramic views before setting off on the grassy path that eventually leads to the back road to Carmichael village. David C and Kenny decided to call it quits at the top of the hill and we left them to make their way back to the car park.
Lunch was taken at more or less our usual spot before heading down to the tarmac road for the roughly 4 mile walk back to the start. Kenny had headed for home while Davie had waited for us, patiently reading his newspaper and soaking up the sun.
FRT was taken in the Black Bull in Darvel where Davie MC had to complain about being given a foostit packet of nuts, past its sell by date, the only minus in an otherwise extremely enjoyable day.
