Cloud busters-Third time lucky. 
We left Clydebank around 11.00am. We drove to Helensburgh with the idea of having lunch and a walk along the front as far as the village of Rhu. Sadly we only got as far the Commodore hotel and the heaven's opened up. Soaked.
We had to run back to the car.
Plan two. We drove along the road to Rhu. Got out and walked along the rocky beach to the lighthouse. No problem. On the way back we could see the dark clouds coming. Nearer and nearer. We ran back to the car as the rain stoated down.  

So, what do we do now. Soaked and ready for home.
​We could see blue skies in the distance. So we gave it one more chance. We drove north along the Gareloch. Past the Fastlane naval base and the Peace camp. On to Loch long. Mountains were getting higher and higher. The clouds were disappearing.
We stopped in Arrochar. Great scenery and superb weather. 
Lovely walk along the loch and a visit to the Arrochar hotel.
We looked over to Ben Arthur or the Cobbler as most people call it.
After two disappointments it ended up a great day.
The Scottish weather is unpredictable but when the blue skies appear
its wonderful country.
