Twenty members of the group set off by car for Falkland where we caught the bus, which we nearly filled, must have made it the busiest journey for some time on this route. We were whisked away to Strathmiglo, deposited outside the local pub and waved away by a very bemused driver. Made our way down through California (yes honestly) to reach the path for Falkland. Bit of an ascent initially for a quarter of a mile, but the next stretch to woodland provided panoramic views eastward to Dunshalt and westward to Gateside. A pleasant day, fair, overcast and warm. Traversed the woodland path and minor road to the Pillars of Hercules with the Lomond Hills for company along our route. More woodland followed with the Squirrel Walk before passing the cricket ground and a tented village which had been erected in conjunction with Youth Theatre and then back into Falkland. The walk was just short of five miles, a canny dander indeed. Next stop, the Lomond Hotel, Freuchie, for relaxation over a cuppa and the customary scone with mouth watering additions.
