Today I met Mick, Richy, Kris and Colin at Balmaha and we climbed Conic Hill. It was a decent day for it and we all enjoyed the chance to catch up while getting a good dose of fresh air. Mick and Richy were even brave enough to go for a dip in Loch Lomond afterwards.
Later, we drove to Colin’s place in Kilsyth to freshen up then went on to the Coach House Inn at Auchinstarry Marina. After a bite to eat I could see the conversation was headed toward those same old stories. And I had resolved in advance to have a quiet night unlike our last get-together. So I dropped them at the next pub then headed home, leaving it to the professionals.
