Jetskis buzz around the ferry. Arran's mountains in the background

Barbecue on the pier at Lamlash on Saturday evening
|
We watch the day's last ferry leaving Brodick on Saturday |
The night watch was quiet - only 2 boats came between midnight and 4am
but the time passed quickly thanks to Tunnocks snowballs and the other
marshals! |
A few hours later we returned to find Adam and Dermot beating Adrian and
Stewart's overall run time. |
They ignore the SLOW sign on the road |
Elsie beat them back to the pier
|
But where is their dingy? Their sailors had fallen asleep! |
Carnethy's 'Balamory' youth team on Mull.
|
We left to climb Goatfell before Paula was needed for her next watch
and met Dave and Kate coming back along Brodick's main street.
|
Then Phil Davies and Jon Whitaker whisked past us at the bottom of the
track up Goatfell |
Glenalmond youth team descend Goatfell.
|
The view from the top, towards Jura. |
The Paps of Jura clearly visible, didn't seem that far away (as the seagull
flies!) |
The boys from Tobermory were well up amongst the leaders. |
But their 'master' didn't trust this one not to wander off! |
The summit is on the left.
|
Four 'allrounders' (where the sailors run or is it the runners sail?)
|
Could you make it look like we're running? |
A strange rock lizard. |
The Tobermory team leave Goatfell behind. |
The marshals return to base..
