    Take the X10A to Aberfoyle at 12.25

    then at 15.14 on to Gartmore.

    I will try to get them to open up a wee bit earlier than normal. It worked before and there should be enough of us to make it worthwhile.

    Well, hopefully a triangle. We'll have to check out the Woolpack before then but as there's new people in charge.
