Evening 2 was spent in The Top Bunk Bistro which was very nice and we would highly recommend it. Frances was serenaded by German friends who played happy birthday on the guitar while she blew out the candle and ate her cake. The Jamieson's joined us to enjoy our chat.
Day 3 dawned and yet again we were not overly bright & breezy. As soon as we woke up we had our daily lyrics from Penny. We had a lovely breakfast in the bunkhouse before Frances organised a taxi to the start of today's walk. The first part of today's was had going, challenging but good. We stopped for coffee and chatted to our friends with the dog.
Just before lunch Ben & Tim tried to overtake us but that wasn't happening so we slowed them with our charm. Lunch was in The Drovers which was nice where we met our friends from the hottub. After food & a small glass of wine we spoke to The Jamieson's.
After lunch the walk got slightly more stressful with the addition of way too many cows! I made the sensible decision to climb a fence and scramble through the trees.We also met lovely Irish people who kindly made a donation.
Another coffee stop & a chat with our friends with the nice dog. We had wonderful views at this point but the sun was setting and it was getting slightly chillier.
By the time we crossed the road I had a single mission to be finished for the day. Graham with an "H" caught us up on his way to buy sausages.
We arrived at our hobbit house and shortly after Jeff, Sav & Levi came for a visit. Joelle has joined us now & we all headed out for fish, chips & wine.
We are all currently having a history lesson from Frances before we head to bed.
This will be difficult but here is our friends count:- 2 oap's, The Jamiesons, a survey man, 2 Chinese cyclists, 4 camping guys,a group of 6 with sore feet, 3 polish boys, a woman from milngavie who made a donation, a man who took our photo,3 girls from Dundee, a South African couple, 4 German boys, Ben, Tim, their Dad & his friend, 2 nice men with a dog, a boring couple with a nice dog, 3 Irish walkers who helped me pass the cows!
