This is pretty far for me to travel for a geohash, and trains are not exactly the cheapest mode of transport. Buses, however, are free for those under the age of 22. As such, my plan is to get the X10 bus from Bearsden/Milngavie at around 10:45am, which will arrive in Stirling at around 12:15pm. The train to Auchterarder and the train to Perth both go past the geohash and cost the same. Out of the two possibilities, I plan to head to Perth, as the city is more accessible from its station. However, the next train will be at 2:08pm, so I plan to get lunch - probably at Nando's - before exploring the city of Stirling for a while (and maybe visiting its Debra charity shop). After hopefully passing through the geohash and arriving at Perth at 2:37pm, I plan to walk to the newly opened Perth Museum to see the Stone of Destiny/Scone, which I have tickets for at 3:10pm. My train to Stirling leaves Perth at 3:41pm, and should arrive at 4:19pm. The bus back home then leaves at 4:30pm and I should be home just after 6:30pm. Almost eight hours is quite a long expedition for me, but in reality it's more of a day trip to both Stirling and Perth; two out of our eight cities in one day!
