Well mum and I counted our walls too soon, for today we were back on the Antonine Wall and up for another history lesson. I've got to admit, the whole Roman episode has been fascinating, and it is testimony to their building ability, that so much of their work is still evident.
We've been back on the canal for most of the day, with a wonderful coffe stop at The Boathouse , a restaurant on the marina at Auchinstarry Canal Basin. Dad had a bacon sandwich and they both had coffee and it was like being on the Coast - quite surreal. Thanks so much to Brodie for his very generous contribution.
Onward we trotted, on the hottest day of our walk, wall to wall sunshine (wasn't forecast - not complaining). She found the shorts. Dad had hidden them in his hat, so when he got that out, they fell out. Actually, those pins aren't quite as lily-white as they were!
At Kirkintilloch, we stopped at a roadside cafe for a cold drink and a biting on. From there on to a disused railway track to wend our way to Lennoxtown, where we have found a jacuzzi bath complete with TV. Will we ever get her out?
Big day tomorrow, when we join the West Highland Way. Mum's been really looking forward to this. Drymen tomorrow night.
Keep spreading the word.
