Never put off by the thought of a little bit of the wet stuff we set off in our cars to our starting point, the boathouse, Loch Leven, Kinross. Where we were joined, not by rain, but Charlie and Christine bringing the total amount of our group to 15.
Following the path with gorgeous views of the Loch on our right, the day had decided to brighten a little. It certainly wasn’t cold.
We carried on through the wooded area with an immaculately kept golf course on our right. We passed the old wrought iron gate with ornate pillars known locally as ‘Marys Gate’ named after Mary Queen of Scots who was imprisoned on the Island.
Carrying on until we reached the top end of Kinross, we paused while it was decided whether we continued walking or stopped for our coffee stop. By this time the sun was out and we were getting warmer so coffee break it was.
Todays venue was the ‘Heaven Sent’ tearoom who were ready for us unlike some of the customers as we were greeted with a ‘Here come the ramblers’ which I can only presume was said in jest.
The table was set upstairs which was reached by using the most novel doorway we had ever come across, a fridge! ‘Just go through the fridge and upstairs to the left’ we were told by the waitress. We had a room to ourselves, the coffee, tea and scones were delicious and service was great.
We were now ready to head up through the town back to the starting point where we said our prayer and jumped in our cars ready for home. Thank you Carol and Bill for another great walk.
No date has been set for our next walk as it’s now only two weeks (yes, two weeks, how did that happen!) until our Stirling trip. See you all then folks!
