Scotland did dinner type stuff at Carlisle so I am just home now. I suspect the other pair are still an hour or so away from Kilbirnie considering Rambo was driving out of Carlisle. They passed me while I was filling up at Todhills and I then got delayed waiting to pay due to a queue. I passed them like they weren't moving before Lockerbie.

This elderly pair of Jeordies befriended me. They were full of stories, including seeing Campbell's Bluebird on Coniston before it flipped.

Followed by a couple of pints of Theaksons & a huge gammon before the drive home. I've only just got in as Lucky was still paddling at nearly 9pm...

 

That's another 375 trouble miles on the low* mileage Saab...

So sorry Hooli, we figured you'd dropped off to treat Lucky to that walk you promised her!

Sincere apologies. Looks like you had fun though, the two of you. We missed that boulder!

 

Onwards...

Did anyone else clock the Polo pulling a rather-too-big caravan at the top of Honnister?

I had visions of that large 'van pulling a wheel-spinning Renault 5 back down the hill backwards...

Cheers Joe, looking at your route I'll drop off the pack around Grange then as I want to walk to the Bowder stone with Lucky.

We thought you'd dropped off as mentioned! We did stop at a pub briefly to regroup which might have caused further confusion.

I was going to drop off a couple of mile before the stone circle, but never mind. I had a laugh anyway.

Finally, here are my photos. As usual this will be an abridged version with the full collection online at my Flickr page : https://flic.kr/s/aHsm1hCxN1

 

I had speculated Justin and Rambo were about an hour from home in Kilbirnie when I arrived home in East Kilbride at 11pm. Turns out I was dead nuts on as Justin sent me a text to say he got home at midnight.

 

I was amoungst the first to arrive. Also, Ghosty has liberated, and is now custodian of, The Banner™
