It is amazing what some folk will do to save buying a ticket!! This was part of an exciting Army exercise and these guys were very skilled - and brave!
My destination was the Holy Isle - sadly there were no sailings from Lamlash, as high winds were expected, so I boarded a bus - in the normal fashion - and returned to Brodick. My journey did seem quite tame in comparison!  HOW DID YOU MANAGE THAT jOHN??!! Strong men wanted!! There was plenty of effort needed to clear these giant Rocks from the grounds at our Dalmilling Church as part of initiative to make the area a more user friendly area for Community Activity. The rocks were put there originally to discourage activity and their removal is a complete reversal of the situation, making a large grass area available for outside activities.
The rocks were not lightweight and took a bit of shifting to get them onto John Black's Trailer and several processes were tried before we decided finally on an ancient Egyptian method, as used in Pyramid construction - sliding the large rocks along a timber pathway. John Black also displayed the benefits of having Porridge every morning by reducing some of the rocks to more manageable proportions involving a 14lb. Hammer!! Other mere weaklings -Ian Fulton, Gwyn Williams and David McMahon,with a contibution from Community Worker Fab Moyo added their weight to the clearance operation. CLICK HERE FOR MORE ACTION PICTURES.

It was certainly shining on the righteous and a great success for the Toddlers Group.

After a difficult week weather wise, our walking group enjoyed a fine sunny day with little wind for our first walk of the season through the Bluebell Woods at Threepwood in Galston.
