Saturday and the time to return. we are returning back to the Lake district for a short weekend break.
As we had left early we caught the light of the rising sun and stopped at Connel to take a last panoramic view of the isle of Mull across the Firth of Lorn.
There were more treats in stores as we approached Glen Coe .Passing along Loch Etive the light and reflections were crying out for a pictures and how could we resist.
On to Glen Coe a better prospect weather wise that the previous week but we would not liked to have to live in this Croft no matter what the weather.
A long and winding road [oh i think there's a song in there somewhere]
We stopped at Dochart Falls again to partake of a wholesome breakfast . Then of to Stirling and the road to the lakes. on the outskirts of Stirling we ran into the ubiquitous road works which lasted for 10 miles and unfortunately due a combination of poor signage and eyesight we failed to take the exit we needed which meant we went into and through Glasgow which were trying to avoid . So we decided to continue or journey through the lowlands of Strathclyde were not sure how we got to pass Moscow but...
We did pass the Burns Monument and alms houses at Mauchline Ayrshire the National Burns Memorial . It was first opened in 1898 to commemorate the centenary of Burns' passing.
We also were close to Hollywood and went through Lockerbie and Gretna Green before we got to Penrith.
