Annual Bus Run Pics (sponsored by Hoppy's Tours)

Friday, 18th July saw us leave the Club and head off for Inveraray. After a bit of a false start (bus that arrived didnae huv a loo) we changed buses at Erskine and within no time at all we were in Inveraray.

The George Hotel seemed to suit most of us and below you'll find a couple of pics of some very sober looking travellers. This was not to last and by the time we left Helensburgh several hours later we had all enjoyed ourselves so much that we could hardly tell that the rain, which had blighted our progress all day, was down to a mere downpour.

Thanks to Hoppy and his band of brothers for organising the day so well (apart from the weather).

Can't really this of a caption for this, can you?

Nobby thought he'd empty the rain from the canopy and ended up soaked

 

We certainly know how to have a good time!
