Thursday 23rd August 2012…….a hike to remember!!

Janet, Sam and Malc  got on the bus at 9.15am for their day trip and I left at the same time to walk down to the village and await a local bus.  I asked our bus driver about what I intended to do and he told me which bus to catch.

So around 10am the bus dropped my here the start of my hike.

It was 2.30am when I got back to the village and I reckon I walked around 9 miles and as it started to rain I thought it was a wonderful opportunity to try out the local Fish and Chip shop!!

A splendid idea…sausage and chips!!!!

Back at the room had a wonderful long hot bath and a little snooze…..my cold has now turned into a cough but it did not slaw me down.

The three bus passengers just arrived and told me about their great visit to Stirling castle and also to Marks and Spencer's to get Malc more pants, he bought three pairs yesterday!!!

So we will go for supper in a while and then check out the local entertainment again.

Last night the gentleman was very talented and his back up band were quite good too!!!
