South Ayrshire Coast Path from Glennapp 30th August 2010

We parked oposite Glennapp Church in the small parking area.

We then crossed the Water of App.

Logs

Starting to climb the hill you can just see the cars on the A77

Its a really good track with great views, this one is looking back up Glennapp

A garden spider

Sign on gate-Litter-Tak it Hame!

A beautiful day but not too hot for walking.

The heather is past its best butstill looking good against the blue sky.

View towards Loch Ryan and the North Rhins, we live in about the centre of this shot.

Looking up the hill

Lots of Meadow Pipits about, we watched them bathing in the puddles...

...then preaning...

...then sat on the fence to dry.

Puddles in the tracks

Fine views of Ailsa Craig and Arran beyond

Following the sheep!

The Stena Caledonia leaving Loch Ryan on its way to Belfast, you can see Ireland in the distance and Corsewall Lighthouse middle distance.

Another Meadow Pipit

This time the Stena HSS on its way into Loch Ryan towards Stranraer


Our aim was to walk down to Portandea, but we were put off by the signs put up by Glennapp Estates!
