Yesterday Tuesday May 27th I met up at 6.30AM with 5 other walkers to do a recce for a forthcoming walk for
Cunninghame ramblers. On a glorious sunny warm morning we took the ferry to
Brodick and the bus to Thunderguy on the West coast of Arran which was our starting point for this fairly challenging 9 mile hike over 6 mountains finishing in Pirnmill. This is a walk I led back in
June 2011 for ADRC which entails scaling Meall Bhigg(438M) Meal Bioreac (551M) Meall Donn (643M) Ben Bhreac (711M) Mullach Buidhe (721M) and finally Ben Bharrain (717M) so not a walk for those that do not enjoy a wee challenge. As it was only a recce I will not go into too much detail as a full blog will be posted on July 1st when the group plan to do the walk, all I will say that the weather yesterday was absolutely stunning allowing us views over the
Paps of Jura ,Kintyre and beyond to Northern Ireland, thanks to my fellow ramblers for a wonderful day out on what is one of my favourite walks on the lovely
Island of Arran.
