Inveraray 28 August

elegran, [musical notes emoji]

Have a great day out everyone! I'll look out for a zoo thread.

Tegan I'll start another thread for a zoo trip.

Youtube for thatbags www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebSEMn7iOTE

I've checked with Edinburgh if I can use my Twycross pass and they say it's ok. My son's leaving on 5th or 6th so the week after that is best for me.

Getting closer now - travel and hotel booked, Avon stuff bought to ward off midges up in Knapdale.

We must decide when we meet for the zoo, Tegan and see whether anyone else wants to join us. Marelli says she might be there.

Oh I'm so jealous of you all. I'm arriving oop north a day too late ...Have a great time.

Don't think so, baubles.

Have a really lovely time, all of you. x

We'll miss you Marelli See you soon though

Do we actually have a booking for lunch does anyone know?

Sorry, lassies - I'm going to have to miss this trip, as is Marmight. However, I shall be thinking of you all, nattering away into the night!
thatbags, it's going to be too tight time-wise, for me to catch the train/bus with Elegran, as I have to get from here (Fife) first. Nevermind.

Yes, it is a shame "The Mars" can't make it. Any chance you could get the bus with elegran, marelli? I think marmight is going to be away, if I remember rightly.

I'll see you on it then!

Yes Elegran I'm booked on the 10am Glasgow-Inverary, arriving at 11.45.

Such a pity that neither Marmight nor Marelli can manage

It seems that Marmight cannot make that date, and Marelli was going to travel with her.

Well, I've found routes by bus/coach that arrive in Inverary via Glasgow at 11.00 am or 11.45 am.

Will anyone else be going up by bus/coach? Baubles?

Love that area too glass

Bound to be B&Bs Elegran, I must have a look. Is anyone else staying over?

The Crinan basin and canal are favourite places of mine, it always has a magical feel about it whenever you visit.

Kilmartin

I second that thought on Kilmartin, a pretty place with a lovely church and interesting museum.

Tho Im not joining the trip, If you are going to Knapdale, a good option for a bit of culture is Kilmartin

There are dolmens, Dunadd burial place of the kings of yore, and a nice wee village.

Also Crinan, the canal, hotel , Para Handy puffer in the basin, I hope it is still there!

I think Inverarary might be 'bus tour' country!

Consider your seat to Knapdale booked, baubles.

I have not looked for accommodation yet, baubles. I must get started. I assume there are plenty of B&Bs around Inverary?

bags I'd be keen to see the beavers. Can I bags a seat please? Elegran I'm intending to stay over. Have you looked for accommodation?
I was in Inverary last week on my return journey from Oban and realised that there was probably a bus from Glasgow. Having checked the timetable I've decided that that's how I'll get there.
