BUS TRIP 2023

22 members joined the bus at 9:15 on 8th February for the run to Ettrick in the Teviot valley to visit the Wynyard Estate Saffron farm where the proprietor, Wendy, gave a run down of how the saffron is grown and harvested. there followed a short stroll around her gardens and shop. At 12:45 we arrived in Roxburgh at the 103 Store for a nice buffet lunch. After lunch we had a ride around the Roxburgh dam and village where Ralph Harrison gave an interesting commentary on the area's history. We then travelled back along the Eastern side of the Clutha River to Millers Flat and then back home through the many areas of road works arriving finally at 5:10pm after a 30 minute holdup at the detour through Mosgiel due to major reconstruction on SH 1. The trip was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone.
