Outing on Wednesday 19th June to Trossachs and Loch Katrine

The second outing of 2013 took place on Wednesday 19th June, when more than 70 of us enjoyed  a full day trip to the Trossachs and a sail on Loch Katrine on the Sir Walter Scott. The weather for the trip was very good, making the visibility of the hills and loch superb. We just caught our 1pm boat trip at the last minute, after a delay on the shores of Loch Venachar while too many coaches squeezed past each other on too narrow a road. Great credit is due to our two coach drivers for getting us past unscathed. After the cruise we had some time ashore at Loch Katrine, before moving to Callander in time to visit the shops. Then high tea at the Dreadnought Hotel was enjoyed by all before the coaches returned to Edinburgh.

Many thanks to Carole and the others who were involved in organising this enjoyable day out.
