Tues 5 Sept 15° Balloch to Loch Fyne

Grey but warm and wet underfoot from yesterday's rain. This morning we spent pottering and sorting out maps and brochures collected over time.

We all walked to Balloch Castle, lovely walk through the wood and to the Loch, dry and sunny very pleasant hour or so, then back for a bit of forward planning.









Then we headed off to Luss for some seafood for lunch, but the car park at the visitors  centre did not allow motorhomes even though plenty of room we didn't want to risk it .

We drove on to Tarbot, sun came out and we came accross a carpark for loch cruises right on the Loch. So we stopped for lunch....at the cafe they had snow freeze ice creams with flake for 99p.....be rude not to...bargain! Yummy


Discussed onward plan with Les, agreed to meet at Furnace and just 'wing it'.

Very pretty drive, around loch Fyne to Glencoe,  came across an accident with a car in the middle of the road, but we were soon past it and up the Cobbler to Rest and be Thankful,  then around the corner the Loch Fyne Oyster shop car park , perfect for night stop in a valley between low mountain ranges, flat gravel car park.

Oysters  £12 for 6 eeekkkk  Pat and Les had 2 each, we bought some herrings. Back to motorhomes Pat and Les took the dogs for a long walk.

When they got back they came in  for a pre dinner drink and a look at their photos,  very good shots.

They went back for dinner and we had our spag bowl and watched the news.

Nice quiet spot.
