Ramblers to follow Coastal Path

Ayr & District Rambling Club are organising a 6.75mile circular walk starting at Dunure Harbour on Saturday, January 13.

The route follows the Ayrshire Coastal Path southerly before crossing fields to the road near Drumshang farm.

After a short stretch of road walking, the route heads along a lane and a farm track through woodland towards a small burn, that will be crossed before climbing gradually up Blacktop Hill.

Once past the fishermen’s loch, the walk joins a farm track leading to Fisherton, and continues downwards to re- join the Coastal Path back to Dunure Harbour.

Details from Lorna Cullen on 01292 440274.

Meet at Millbrae car park in Ayr at 8.50am.

On Sunday, South Ayrshire Ramblers will head for Loch Doon for a medium- grade walk, starting at the bridge near the Garpel Burn and proceeding west along a forest road, which later becomes a path through the woods.

The route heads south and east on fairly rough ground to climb to the summit of Craiglee ( 523m), from where there are excellent views.

From the trig point, the group will descend easterly before climbing the Wee Hill of Craigmulloch ( 427 m) and descending south to join a forest road parallel to the Loch Doon road.

This will be followed back to the start.

Meet at Prestwick Town Railway Station car park for 8.50am departure.
