Zoooom!-ing around the island of Luing

Once again, an intrepid band of Zoooomers!have been out and about clicking away, this time on Luing, a stonesthrow from Oban, (but feels like the middle of nowhere).
With an early start, the group made it on to Luing for 9am, meeting up with other Zoooomers! who live on  the island. Our trek began with a 'shortcut' to Cullipool, past slate mines and new-born lambs. After a welcome cuppa and cake with friends, we zoomed on to Fladda and beyond, with the promise of an old wreck (no, neither of the leaders!) and lunch.

On returning to Fladda, it was time for a visit to another friend for afternoon scones and a wee cuppa, followed by the final hike back to the ferry for 4pm. 
All in all a splendid time was had, and we must thank Fiona and Rachel for the wonderful morning chocolate cakes and Linda for tremendous afternoon scones. A big thanks also to Cameron Harris for his time and expertise.
