Alan, Allan, Davie C, Dougie, Graham, Gus, Ian, Malcolm, Rex, Robert
We started the day with a coffee in the café at Caulders Garden Centre before, reluctantly, getting underway on a bright, sunny morning, but still with a wee edge to the breeze. Alan, Allan, and Davie took the option to drive over the Erskine Bridge and park at the far side before walking up to Clydebank shopping centre whilst the rest set off on foot from the garden centre. The threesome walked leisurely along the canal path expecting the others to catch them up, but they reached their target ten minutes before the main group. It was then a short walk by all to McMonagles for lunch, and a very tasty and filling lunch it was, fish and black pudding suppers.
The walk back was even easier as the breeze was behind us, and it was most pleasant in the warm sunshine. As per earlier, the three took to Alan’s car whilst the rest walked back over the bridge with the last man getting back at about twenty past two, approximately four hours after having started. The bridge walkers had done nine miles whilst the others had done a tad over six. It was good to have had Ian back with us, but he could not join us for FRT, so we said our farewells and set off for the Brown Bull in Lochwinnoch where we had the place to ourselves and relaxed after our walk.
Last week we had been in constant rain, this week in constant sunshine. That’s Scotland for you, and all enjoyed today’s outing.
