We love all you can eat breakfasts and we made the most of one this morning before setting off on the short run to meet our fellow travellers. When we arrived many were tucking in to bacon butties. We were tempted but managed to resist.
Today was an in your own time start so we eventually set off on the planned route to Loch Katrine where we had some time to kill before our sailing on the Sir Walter Scott steamboat.
Although our drive was short were some interesting roads and the views would have been super if it hadn't been raining.
The guys from the Caledonian Centre are masters at packing many MGs into small places.

We had time for a coffee and a look round before our sailing time and as is usual there was much great chatter.
The sail on Sir Walter Scott was a great experience that even the rain and cold wind couldn't dampen.
After the sail we were a bit peckish so went in search of a sandwich. Getting served took some time and when we headed back to the car, where there had been some 25 MGs, there was only one. I should have taken a photo.
A lovely run took us to the finish where we had a cuppa and a lovely scone before saying our goodbyes and heading for home.
Because of the roadworks at the M73/M74 junction we decided to head for Edinburgh, round the southern bypass and pick up the A68 home.
This was an easy trip with no real problems and we made good time. On the A68 I thought we were going to be held up by a continental 6 wheeler pulling a trailer but that wasn't the case. He was going well and most of the time making the 60mph speed limit. We followed him down to Corbridge where we stopped for fuel. It was an easy run, keeping a reasonable distance behind him. I didn't have to worry about the next bend. If he could get round it, I'm sure I could.
South of Corbridge there was little traffic and we made good time. There was even some sunshine to boost our spirits.
The journey home took four hours and we soon unloaded what we had in the car and settled in front of the TV with a welcome cuppa.
Despite the Friday problems, we had a great time. Thanks to all who made it possible and for the warm welcome.
