Prestwick to Troon 8 July

Allan, Billy, Davie C, Ian, Jimmy, Malcolm, Paul, Robert
Having assembled in the wide, open spaces of the car park at Prestwick on a fine morning for walking, we set off in socially distanced groups of 3, 2 and 3 for the beach walk to Troon. The tide was well out so there was plenty of firm sand to walk on although we took to the tarmac path for the last stretch to the ice-cream kiosk adjacent to the toilets. Here a cuppa was taken, and some had a cone. Next, we walked up towards the golf course and joined the cycle track back towards Prestwick. We had thoughts to deviate up to Fullarton House for lunch, but the consensus was to continue and to have it on the beach. A leisurely lunch was taken and, as we looked out towards Arran, we asked ourselves when we would be able to go there again. The final stretch back to the cars took another fifteen minutes or so.
The guys wish Gus all the best and hope he is back to normal soon.
