Ramblin’ Rovers

Scotland 5-09 Tuesday Milngavie to Drymen

First day of the actual hike on the WHW. Got up around 6, showered, and got a quick breakfast at the hotel and wheeled our luggage and packs to the Central Trail Station…. About 2 blocks. Bought train tickets to Milngavie. The train was to leave in about 5 minutes, so we hoofed it downstairs to the below platform and caught the train. We arrived in Milngavie after making a number of stops and then had to wait quite some time for the tour company to pick up the luggage. After that, we started our hike into Milngavie. But first, we needed a hot beverage to ward off the chill (about 40 F). Jeff also needed to buy some contact lens saline. The first pharmacy we tried said they did not carry it because all the other places did…. Strange retail philosophy, but oh well…. We waited for an optometrist shop to open at 9 am, but when they did, they did not carry it either. Finally found another pharmacy that did carry it and Jeff bought two bottles, so we would not have to go through this search again.Okumaya devam et
