Arran Antics

Last week was a bit of a busy one for John & Ann with the AMC Sailing Meet followed by a week on the Isle of Arran. The weather was generally fine with the exception of the Mon/Tue, which saw a stormy end to the sailing meet and us only just getting to Arran before the ferries were cancelled. After that was a mix of sun, showers and windy spells. No detailed walk descriptions this time, just a few photos. More from the sailing meet will appear later.

Fine if busy sailing conditions up the West Kyle of Bute

Anchorage in Fearnoch Bay, perfectly sheltered from the imminent NE gale
