More images from the Tarbolton walk

Was that a blink of brightness when we set off?

NAW!

Negotiating Alan's 'path' through the woods

Is it the burn or the path? We weren't quite sure.

The path was relatively dry in this section of the wood

And the sun did blink out for a minute or two.

Yes, guys, there were fairies in the woods

A stone 'fairy house' attached to a tree in the woods.

This raised mound of earth beside Coilsfield Mains farm is marked on the map as King Coil's grave 

(I tried to find more information online but a search for "King Coil" just gave me mattress manufacturers!)

Option 2 Tarbolton

After consulting Alan we agreed on Tarbolton walk with the option to shorten the walk if necessary in view of the very wet forecast.
Bring bus passes to perhaps get the bus back to Tarbolton. FRT can be had in the pub in Tarbolton.
