My 1st hill on Arran! After completing Holy Island i took the bus back to Brodick with Hal and Rose, an American couple i met on the small ferry. We got off at the forestry car park at the nrpw of thr hill. Beautiful views over to Holy Isle and then Goatfell. Unfortunately i lost my GARMIN e Trex 30 in the heather on the way up exploring the heathery tumps. If you find it please e-mail the website creator please. After the summit i continued onto the fort and then the track to Corriegills and then back into Brodick. Very pretty walk. | Dazingdale | 06/05/2016 |
