Eglington Country Park Ayrshire

We haven't been out geocaching for a month, but as I have my little B&B the summer isn't a time for geocaching for me, but as it was a lovely morning we packed up a picnic and off we went 12 miles along the road to a huge country park,  we haven't been here in years, it must be about 10 years and it is only along the road for goodness sake!

 I think we picked the best couple of hours to be there, it wasn't busy, we could meander along looking for the caches without too many muggles about.  But as I pointed out to my husaband he was wearing a pillar box red jumper (sweater) so he stood out a mile if we were searching in amongst trees, but nobody bothered us, they were all too busy enjoying the wide open spaces out and about on their bikes or walking.
 We found 3 caches today  so just another 3 to find to take me to my 260 mark, we are getting there slow but sure. Then we sat on the ancient wall of a ruined castle that had once stood in this lovely park, so 2 old relics sat on a ruined wall having their lunch, it was hard to pick out the ancient from the ancient! 

The rain is now on, so we did pick the best time to be out and about, it was forecast for rain today so we were surprised to have such a warm sunny morning.
I took my camera with us so I hope you like the ones I have taken this morning in the park.

The view of the river from the bridge.

The ruined castle and tower where we sat and had our lunch in the sun.

The loch where the fishermen were out, but you cannot see them in the photograph.

And then on our way back to the car I took another photo of the castle in the distance.

Can you just imagine the ladies in their long dresses in days of old wandering about in these grounds.
