| Today's group at Gallowlaw Cairn |
 |
| I told the leader "head up not chest out" |
Yesterday Saturday April 27th I travelled by bus to
Galston where I met up with South Ayrshire Ramblers for a 9 mile circular walk in the hills above the town. 26 of us left from the car park at
Barr Castle on a lovely sunny morning firstly to a woodland walk alongside the Haymouth Burn taking us up to a garden centre at
Threepwood where we had a wee coffee stop. Once suitably refreshed we did some road walking towards the
Darvel TV transmitter to get to our next goal which was a memorial cairn to the covenanters at
Gallowlaw . One or two fences had to be negotiated so that we could avoid cattle who were grazing in the fields. After a lunch stop at the cairn it was a nice pleasant road walk back down to the town passing many large houses with their stables in the garden for the childrens horses. Thanks to the leader for a very interesting and informative walk, it is always a pleasure to join this happy group.
I guess with you undertaking this walk you must be nearly fully recovered now Gordon. Happy walking brother !
