Just left Silloth ....wow...looks wonderful. Can’t wait to start searching in the gorse!

Moved our hotel to a place 3 miles up the road, .Wheyrigg........middle of nowhere but great people and it’s nice and cozy. Glad we did, not two hour dash from Preston. M6 was rubbish from top of M5 to Lancaster!

See you in the morning...my first game in three weeks...eek
Looks amazing doesn’t it.

Let’s hope it stays dry.
 
We are enroute to Cockermouth. Having food break. Gritters are out on the motorway near Lancaster and it's been very windy.
 
Bedded down in Manchester after a along afternoon drive with JOBR & a decent meal and drinks in Piccadilly. Up at silly o’clock for breakfast in the morning then 3 hours to Silloth for Bacon Rolls & coffee 🍻 🤞 🙂
 
Up, ready & loading the van and will hit the motorway about 5am for the 4.5hr hike with 1 Stop planned around the Lakes 🤪🏌️⛳️
 
The weather was unkind. The wind was diabolical. I’ve got more points on my drivers licence than I got on all 4 par 3’s added together

Only masochists will enjoy playing in that

ooops wait til you get to Turnberry :D
 
Well....that was fun.....and brutal too.....!!!
Just got home

Really good to meet couple new faces
Thanks for the game Ian and Donna
Fingers crossed your nearest the pin on 9 was good enough to win a prize🤞

That wind was hellish at times and as it was the opposite wind direction to normal, it made a mockery of a couple of the stroke indexes
The last 2 holes were sooooooo tough

Great fish and chips too 👍


Good luck to all playing the full weekend......enjoy

Lastly, thanks again Glyn , top organiser mate
 
Aye Aye, hope it was bad enough for Chris to keep me and dave papas in the betting? We both had shockers up at the fantastic dundonald :mad:

Enjoyed playing with you folks... just checked in to the hotel in Ayr. I’m knackered! Cold out there tonight..... another fight on our hands tomorrow!

Weren’t the staff in the Clubhouse smashing? And super a course...
 
Just arrived at our hotel in Ayr. Silloth was a beast in the wind. Dave had trolley and bunker trouble again. HID's trolley had also joined it but he'd retrieved his before I could take a pic.
 
Tough but great fun. Just happy to score quite well for a change. Worst bit was the last 50 miles of road to our hotel in Turnberry on virtually single track roads.
 
Silloth ♥️
Yet another Links I'm smitten with.
It was tough out there, but I'm sure we've all played in much worse.
Catering and staff also top drawer.

Thanks to Glyn. Top man.

Glad to be doing that part of the journey tomorrow, hope you enjoyed your sandwiches:D

See you tomorrow john.
