Another great day out. Thanks to Banjo and his amazing knowledge of all things Clydebank, and his fantastic weather controlling machine which spat out a lovely sunny day despite the month of cold and wet which was fed into it. Result :)

Just adding my thanks for a great walk and friendly banter in the boozer with snacks supplied.

Banjo obviously spent a good deal of time and effort. It was much appreciated

This could become an addictive pastime

It looks like an alien spaceship from the side. I'd have taken a photo but I was too tired and aching at the time.

Just like to add my thanks to Banjo for the excellent walk and unexpected catering, and to everyone else for a fantastic day. Which may have stretched out slightly longer than expected due to several "just one more" pints. :D

After having remembered to bring my camera and charge the battery I now have to face the complex task of locating my camera cable to transfer them to my PC before my wonderful works of art can be shown :wink:
