A little morning sun and troubles with bikes

So all four of us finally set about 11 - getting the boys up and out is a major event every day - only to be interrupted 20mins later with a plea for a bike shop
Both sets of brake pads have given up and they need bike oil

Pre planning, anyone.

So isobel and I are now sitting outside halfords waiting for the Olympians to show and have their bill paid. If ever I wondered whether we were needed (and actually I have never doubted it) it is not now.....

The road to crianlarich is apparently high and narrow so more than bit necessary to have a functioning bike

New lanark was a bit weird. It's a world heritage site with dodgy visitor centre and hotel but a nice yha and really helpful staff
We had youth hostel dinner for the first itme. Chips and some more chips. And a bit of fish hiding underneath.


Veg anyone?

Anywaynthe new lanark thing is a well preserved set of early 19c bukidings build by mill owner and philanthropist Robert Owen. Startling scenery and a pretty river but as an experience it
left a lot to be desired compadednto your average national trust house, about which we are
both aficionados now

Sorry about the spelling and the spacing - can't see properly because of the sun

First sun for almost a week

Long may it last
Is suspect there will be no signal in crianlarich so pip pip for now

The girls
