Outing - Friday 31 August, Dundee Flower & Food Festival

Around 75 of us ventured out in two coaches to the Dundee Flower and "Mud" Festival in Camperdown Park, Dundee. It was a chilly but dry morning when we assembled in Edinburgh. After a refreshment stop at Glendoick Garden Centre, we continued to Camperdown Park. Unfortunately, the rain started around 12:00 as we were entering the Festival. The ground underfoot was rather on the muddy side, depite enormous efforts by the Park staff to create walk-ways with tons of bark. There was plenty to see at the Festival, most of it in large indoor marquees, so everyone was able to enjoy their visit despite the weather. We stopped for High Tea at The Green Hotel, Kinross before returning to Edinburgh about 8pm. Many thanks to those who organised and assisted in this outing.
