We did it!

Hello folks

Just reporting in after our lovely walk, starting at Fingask loch, this morning.  We had a convoy of about six cars, two meeting places and ten women all jollying along.

It was a really lovely morning, bright and warm, but not really sunny, and no rain at all.

We walked for about an hour or so, supposing to be about two miles ..... but, we all reckoned that it was more like four!  We were really pleased to espy a swan on the loch, and then we saw some ducks and a coot on there as well.

We walked through the Bluebell Wood, but though there was greenery, alas no bluebells.  We decided that we should go again in a month or so, when they are out.

Here is the group, or should I say, here are the culprits? 

Apparently, we should not have parked where we did, as there was a notice to say that only farm and fishing vehicles are allowed down this track, oops!

Sorry, officer, we promise not to do it again ..... 

We did, however, high tail outta there and off to Dalmore Hotel for a very welcome cuppa and some had the pea and ham soup.  We were made welcome by the friendly staff, who put together two tables to accommodate us, and were quick to bring our order.  You can tell there is a 'but' coming along, can't you?  Well, it was just a little off-putting that only what was ordered was brought - it would have felt warmer is a basket of bread and several dishes of butter were laid on the table, instead of the exact amount of bread and pat of butter ..... I don't know, it might have just been me!

Next week we are going to the Den of Alyth and, if you can't click on the map on that information, it is here.  In the meantime, Jean D has the route map, and unless otherwise arranged - we should meet in Alyth town square at 10.30 am next Friday 16 April.   See you there.
