A Wee Snow!

This morning the hills north of Glasgow woke up to a thin blanket of white. But that did not stop the Coaches from conducting a early training session on the 'frozen tundra' of Strathendrick. However, after a good workout and a nice shower, we hopped in the bus and headed for Aberdeen, only to be detoured by a stop at Stirling Castle. The snow may have melted, but the wind drove through our kit fleece and stocking caps and we found ourselves seeking shelter in the main hall and in the chapel. The museum also provided a great history of the Scottish 93rd Regiment and their contribution to battles over the centuries. A small stop for lunch in the town, and we were off to Aberdeen. Tomorrow we train, and no the weather does not warm as we drive northward. (photo is a statue of Robert the Bruce at Stirling Castle)
