Storm Gerrit had arrived, and it was raining steadily as the six above assembled at the car park at the sports fields off Ayr Road in Cumnock. We debated what to do given the weather before deciding on motoring up to Dumfries House for a walk in the grounds. Having waited until ten o’clock exactly, to see if any others would turn up, we headed up to our starting point at the deserted car park at the big house. The wind had abated, and Jimmy led us on a walk of just over two and a half miles on paths and roads around the estate. We did meet one or two other folks out walking, and by the time we finished there were a few more cars around. Mostly we had decent shelter and although it rained, it wasn’t teaming down, and we felt the benefit of being out for a walk and getting some fresh air. The cafĂ© was shut (contrary to any information we could find on the website) so our plans for a coffee did not materialise, and given it was only twenty past eleven, we decided to head straight home.
