THIS WEEK'S WALKS

Sunday 21st April: One walk

“C/C+” walk: Irvine Point-to-Point and Snodgrass Village

This 8.5-mile walk will start from the Puffer Café, Harbour Street, Irvine. We meander along the hard trail past that “stony-faced chap!” and after 1.3 miles take the old road past the Poor House and Barton Holm. We then turn left and walk along the riverside for 1 mile. After morning tea at the concrete seating area, we walk through Longford to Snodgrass Village. We continue in a southerly direction past the old coal pit and colliery, keeping westerly off the rails and on the straight towards the foreshore dining area for lunch. We continue on the rough towards the post and then back to the original trail across several bridges and finally return to the starting point.

Walking poles and gaiters may be advisable.

Meet at Ayr College at 8.45am for a 9.00am departure OR catch the 9.15am train from Ayr to Irvine. The walk will start outside the Puffer Café, Irvine, at about 9.45am.
