Edinburgh Fringe Festival

A busy week of festival going activity. Went to the following shows:

The Boy with Tape on His Face
Eric and Little Ern
Alba Flamenca
Mugenkyo Taiko Drummers
Paul Merton and his Impro Chums
Tubular Bells for 2

All of them were very good in their different ways.

Archery and Kayaking

We went out for a 2 hour archery session and Auchrannie and then a 3 hour kayak journey the next day from Brodick along the coast. Both were good though the kayaking very tiring. Nice dinner on Friday at Auchrannie.

Machrie Standing Stones

Headed across the island walked round the stunning standing stones at Machrie. Some fantastic weather.

Lochranza

On Tuesday headed up the coast to Lochranza for a drive and short walk.

Holy Island

While Max and Colin were up the hill Cherry, Hannah and Les took a boat trip to Holy Island.

Goatfell

Max and Colin climbed up Goatfell on Monday morning. A fairly strenuous ascent with lots of flies about. A tough descent into Glen Rosa and decided not to tackle the other ridge as we had been out a good long time already.

Arran Holiday - Day 1

Had a nice walk to Brodick Castle along the Coastal path. Nice weather and lots of activity at the Castle.

Arran Holiday

Start of a week holiday on Arran. Staying at a nice big house in Brodick.
