PRESTON. A Day out On The Bus.

The weather is still stuck in “Unfriendly” mode but sitting in looking out at the world outside is not one of my favourite ways to pass the time so it was on with the big coat and out on the bus to Preston.

Right the days are starting to stretch themselves, second by second they get longer, brighter but as yet not much warmer. So the race it hotting up ( see what I did there) to get out on the trail again, get some trips organised before Autumn creeps around the corner bringing his icy friend with him and the year starts to shut down again.

One of the treats of walking around a location with a history is coming across those pieces of street furniture that are slowly disappearing.

Summer evenings have their own special magic. As the sun settles itself away for a nights sleep the colours soften away from the days harshness and take on a gentle glow.

January is still being an “unhelpful” month, the cold winds and grey skies are not very encouraging when it comes to moving out of the house and braving the weather.

If you take the road or the train out towards Oban you’ll pass Dalmally and Loch Awe. Sat brooding by the shore of the loch is Kilchurn Castle.
