Yesterday Saturday August 13th
Cunninghame ramblers met at
Ardrossan to catch the 9.45AM ferry to the
beautiful Island of Arran.Once safely in
Brodick 16 members headed out of the village to pick up the track that took us to the summit of
Clauchlands Point with its wonderful views of the different bays that are located on the east side of the island. A lovely forestry walk took us to our lunch stop high up above Brodick looking out onto the Firth of Clyde with all its shipping and headlands in view.Dropping down into
Glen Cloy we then enjoyed a lovely walk alongside the river to the famous
Auchrannie Hotel which was looking very opulent in the warm afternoon sunshine. Arriving back in Brodick several of the group headed for the local hostelries for tea or a light refreshment. This was an excellent 9 mile walk with all the usual banter you come to expect from the group who gave the leaders a big thank you for organising our day out so well.
