Walkers Welcome – England take note!
I tried to get around Ardgartan peninsula by finding a way between the two forest tracks, the ground was too steep and vegetation too thick so I had to backtrack and cross over further inland.
Not what you think! Peaty brown water collected from a burn, extra brown due to the fresh rainfall.
A bus shelter at Carrick Castle seems like the last word in luxury as it gave me the chance to make dinner out of the rain.
I’ve enjoyed having a beard for the cold weather but now it’s time to get the clippers out!

This is the first time this year it’s warm enough to want to linger at camp.
That looked like steep decent – better safe..

Your photo in camp the morning after all that bleakness is just glorious! Love that. I know that area a little and have mainly seen it in the rain. Beautiful atmospheric pics. Safe travels.

Looks cold and wet up there in Scotland, even though it’s July – summer? (And I thought my winter was cold.) The trees are magnificent. The mountains and the water look foreboding. Amazing views. Thank you.
