Hashing with Glasgow H3...

I was surprised but pleased when Veronica said she wanted to spend that evening hashing with Glasgow H3. On the way to the train station, we stopped at Greggs to try their infamous vegan sausage rolls. Although Veronica and Ashlynn loved them, I’ll opt for something else to eat in the future.
We took a train about 30 minutes north of Glasgow to the town of Milngavie. Not only was it the start of the hash, but it’s also the start of the West Highland Way, a long-distance hiking trail that Jimmy and I hope to do someday. 
The girls took the longer trail, while Jimmy stuck with me on the shorter trail.
Both trails passed this pretty lake. 
Veronica was very excited about getting to fly her drone...
 

...over Mugdock Castle, with sections dating back to 1372.
Ironically, our trail was supposed to be shorter, but a large group of us got messed up and ended up going backwards on the longer trail. We eventually ran into the girls just before we reached the castle.
They encouraged us to continue on so we could at least see it before turning around and eventually finding our way back to the pub at the start. Despite the mess up, we had a lot of fun and it was a great way to end our Scottish hashing adventure.
