Report on the day:-
After a weekend of beautiful
weather, anticipation was high, but the forecast was not good. However 20 brave
souls turned out for the walk, more in hope than expectation.
After we had been fortified by tea and scones from
the Cedar Tree Cafe, Alasdair and Jill led us round some of the paths through
the Country Park. Sheltered by the trees the wind and rain did not seem too bad and the 'mud'
factor was on the low side! Unfortunately the views were a trifle obscured and we couldn't find the old carvings on the trees that Alasdair was telling us about, even standing
on tip-toe.
A nice leisurely stroll finished back
at the cosy Cedar Tree Café to round off the day with a bowl of nice hot soup. With 11.5 miles
of paths in the Country Park, there are still lots more to look at and hopefully next time the
weather might be a bit better.
Thanks to Alasdair and Jill for
organising the walk and the parking for the mini-bus, driven by Alistair
Buchanan.
