Erskine Bridge to Clydebank 12th March

It was a bright, cold morning as we met at Caulders Garden Centre at Erskine for a coffee before starting our ‘fish supper’ walk to Clydebank. Going over the Erskine Bridge we had a cold breeze to contend with as well as the incessant traffic noise but after half an hour we were down the other side and joining the canal path. Progress was good and by quarter to twelve we were all at McMonagles for our various tasty treats at the picnic tables in the sunshine.

It was twenty past twelve when we set off on the return leg and, as usual, we were strung out but re-assembled at the exit from the canal. On the climb back up to the bridge some of our members took a wrong path and had to retrace their steps, much to the pleasure of the few who had taken the right path after all.

The walk had taken three and a half hours for the nine miles or so and, with Kenny and Paul choosing to go straight home, the rest motored to the Kings Arms in Fenwick for FRT. A good day out yet again!
