Allan, Davie C, Gus, Hugh, Johnny, Rex, Robert
It was a thoroughly wet morning as we assembled at the Dean Castle car park, a weather-related alternative to our Erskine Bridge walk. No matter, it wasn’t cold, and we set off up Assloss Road before cutiing over to the ford and on to Grassyards Road. We weren’t hanging about and the turning towards Fenwick was soon in sight, a route we took up to the entrance to Craufurdland and the Laird’s Table.
Having done four miles, we debated whether to have a break here or not, but in the end, all were settled inside for a coffee which, for the record was paid for by adding extra to the kitty. Allan wasn’t feeling great, so Hugh, Rex and Robert finished the last two miles on their own and returned by car to pick up the rest. Allan was fine by this time, thanked his carers for their attention and said he was OK to go for FRT. The weather had dried up by this time, but Rex and Robert decided to go straight home, leaving the others, plus Billy, to head for Wetherspoon’s.
A most pleasant afternoon was spent there, and, for some, it was a ‘tpd’. When we left the skies were blue and the roads were dry. What a change from the morning!
