It was another slow start 😆.   J ran laps of the park whilst I did pilates … in the sun 😲!

Did you know a little mashed potato, egg and cooked onion makes an amazing potato pancake?  A first for us and served with cheesey scrambled egg.  A good start to the day!  I did my 2 day shop at the local butcher and Coop … every town has one.  Eventually we set off for Dollar. Detour via the Stirling Outlet Centre … 5 outdoor shops but a little short on stock, but picked J up some walking trousers.

Roadside parking in Dollar as I didn’t like the look of a shrinking road and narrow hump backed bridge. J nanny napped whilst C and I did another Glen walk. A bridge had collapsed, so we were diverted onto the road past the car parks.  Just as well I’d parked on the edge of the town as Jez would’ve struggled to get in. Sometimes my instincts are right!

Our overnight was a 5 pitch CL called Powblack Farm. At £20 with EHU, but no other facilities, it made Carr’s Hill £25, with washing machine, dish washer and fab bathrooms, seem really good value.  I know some people don’t have much money, but there really is no need to have your farmhouse so untidy and messy that we thought it was uninhabited.  Judgemental. Yes, totally!
