HELLO Summer
![](https://03b.f50.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/HELLO-SUMMER-R-Y-500.jpg)
Make Helensburgh & Lomond your summer destination!
Only 45 minutes by train from Glasgow, and within easy reach of both the west coast and central belt of Scotland, Helensburgh & Lomond is the ideal location for Summer day out.
- Have an adventure on one of the local trails like the John Muir Way and Three Lochs Way or Argyll Sea Kayak Trail – you can even go munro-bagging!
- Take a boat trip on the Clyde and get up close to the wreck of the Sugar Boat or hire a boat and explore the lovely Loch Goil.
- Visit the gardens at Glenarn, or explore Geilston Garden and Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s Hill House (both National Trust for Scotland).
- Take a walk along the promenade in Helensburgh and enjoy fish and chips or an ice-cream, and don’t forget to have a browse in our unique shops, or relax in fabulous cafés and restaurants.

Event Details
Swim in Loch Lomond and then enjoy a MTB spin and mixed terrain run round Balloch Country Park. There are 3 options to choose from ‘The Wee Beastie’, ‘The Bikeless Beastie’ and the main event ‘The Beastie’:
The Beastie comprises a 750m swim in the Loch, 17k off road cycle (three big laps) and 5k run (two laps), finishing in front of the castle, sounds a lot easier than reality and a challenge for even the most experienced of triathletes.
The Wee Beastie a 400m swim in the Loch, 9k off road cycle (two smaller laps) and a 3km run (one lap). A proper wee toughie and a great way to start of before taking on the full Beastie another time, still a great achievement and not to be taken lightly.
The Bikeless Beastie Aquathon a 750m swim and 5k run (two laps), this year it is the Scottish Aquathon Championship.

The Rocket Man is the world’s favourite tribute to Sir Elton John. For over 30 years, he has travelled the globe with his show from Manchester to Vegas, Woodstock to Ibiza, and his show has been seen by thousands. He is rated as one of the best Elton look-a-likes/ sound-a-likes, and is even endorsed by Hercules, the official Elton John Fan Club! In 2017 he appeared on BBC 1 with Paddy McGuiness, promoting the Elton John movie Rocket Man, with Paramount Pictures.
Join the Rocket Man as he takes you down the Yellow Brick Road with two hours of glorious Elton hits including Saturday Nights Alright, Crocodile Rock, I Guess That’s Why They Call It The Blues, Daniel, I’m Still Standing, Philadelphia Freedom, Your Song and many, many more!
With dazzling costumes, stunning vocals, and sensational piano solos, we will take you on a journey through Elton John’s life and career, the highs, and the lows with many a laugh brought to life, live on stage. This show has it all!
