An adventure

Decided to use the National Entitlement Card (Bus pass for over 60s) and have a day out traveling to Oban for a single pound. Anthony drove me to Gartcosh station and from my arrival in Queen Street it was only a short walk to Buchanan Street and the coach up to Oban, We had four seasons on that journey, through the most wonderful scenery and my hear leapt with every new mountain and glen on the way. They are still snow capped and once out of the sleet it was glorious sunshine.
Oban was quite busy, with a force 8 gale coming off the harbour. I watched the Lord of the Isles unloading cars and passengers. It seems to me that ferry arrivals are still not timed with train departures, even after 50 years of promises!
A quick shop for a new jacket ant then to lunch which was wonderful, with a view of LotI leaving the harbour for the Western Isles.
Since it was so cold I decided not to wait for the coach but took the train back down to Glasgow through slightly different scenery. It was lovely.
