LARGS. Across to Great Cumbrae.

The island hopping continues.

A follow on from the earlier post of the expedition along the River Clyde and to the Islands. Or two of them at least, Bute and Great Cumbrae. The first stop was Rothesay, the capital of the island. Sorting through I’ve found a few more images of the day.

On the last lap and still with time to spare, a pint beckoned me from the Loggerheads Pub. It would have been rude to ignore the generous hospitality.

Today’s destination of choice is Shrewsbury, for no other reason than I haven’t been there for a while. I was a little early for the train so I took a look at the regular Saturday Fleamarket. Just to see if I could come away without buying anything. My attic already […]

I’m lucky in that I live within an easy striking distance of the English Lake District. It’s either a couple of hours or so in the car or a similar journey time by train to Windermere. Obviously it’s a popular destination which can make the roads busy so I have a preference for using the train.
