Arran - Apr 06

I went over to Arran on Friday after work with Alex, Andy and Graham. Got back yesterday, but had cunningly taken today off as I had a feeling I may need a day to recover.

Had a good time, though Brodick is not a patch on Whiting Bay. We could only find three bars that were open, seems Perishers Bar is shut and another one had been knocked down to extend the car park for the Co-op.

DAB lager for the journey across has become something of a tradition.




To the lifeboats...


It the end it turned out that we didn't walk any of the Glen Rosa Horseshoe following Graham's beer injury on the Friday night. I missed this one unfortunately, but apparently he slipped in the bar at the Ormidale Hotel, did the splits and then fell flat on his face.

The next day it was evident that he was not going to manage a major walk so after a bit of the usual faffing about we decided upon walking the costal walk from North Sannox to Lochranza. Turned out to not be a bad idea as the weather turned pretty wet and windy for the last few miles.
