We woke to a dreary day with rain hitting the window of
the hotel.
Looking out from our room with a view, we could see very little due to the mist and scudding rain.
It was packing up day and moving on day, however as we had woken early it became laundry day too.
The clothes dried whilst we had breakfast and after some 30 minutes in an industrial drier a T-shirt was still damp-roo bad!!
We were then off, now in slight drizzle to catch a bus into Glasgow central to do some essential shopping, like phone cards etc. This was some exercise however finally Jo managed to get one for the O2 network. It rained on and off with some heavy showers that saw is scurrying for a “Pret a Manger”, which I can certainly recommend, for lunch, fresh rolls and more and fairly good coffee.
Wandering around Glasgow Central was interesting, however time pressed us to return to our stored baggage at the hostel and head off to Milngavie, the start of the West Highland Way.
We had decided on a taxi from the hostel to our hotel in Milngavie, as it required no effort, and it turned out the cost was pretty good and far better value than the bus or trail would have been, considering the inconvenience of getting too a bus stop r the train station.
Our overnight digs was the West Highland Gate Travel Inn, quite a nice establishment, with roomy rooms.
Tomorrow the WHW
I took no pictures today as the weather was so variable, but more importantly as I forgot my camera.
