| This fine group walked to Glenashdale Falls. |
On Wednesday September 10th
Cunninghame ramblers sailed off from
Ardrossan to the lovely
Island of Arran. Arriving in
Brodick 4 of the ladys decided to go south to do a shorter walk to
Glenashdale Falls whilst the rest headed off north to
Lochranza to walk round what is known as the
Cock of Arran. 18 of us alighted from the bus to start a fairly gradual climb on a perfectly sunny warm morning to head over to the coast at
Laggan cottage. At this point our leader sensed we had two distinct groups out today and suggested the faster walkers may want to go on first and this would allow the slower group to enjoy the sunshine at a more leisurely pace.I was in the first lot who soon arrived at Laggan cottage situated at the base of some rather majestic heather clad hills. After a lunch stop we started out heading north around the shore which was extremely difficult in places due to the large boulders. Slow progress was made with one or two minor falls which did not alter the enjoyment of this beautiful part of the island. Arriving back in Lochranza we were able to catch the earlier ferry back home to end the most wonderful day out to what must have been the best possible weather conditions to complete this type of 8 mile walk.
PS. More photos are due to be published but I am still awaiting for them to arrive. Also thanks to Madam Chair for her contribution to todays blog.
