Kintyre Way Walk with photos of routes.

[jdcarra]

Excellent photos JD, Ninja and SmithD - thanks for sharing these with us.

Anyone fancy doing the Machirhanish to Southend a week on Sunday? Definitely not trying it this Sunday!

aye we could run it get the fitness up lol

Great idea "gers # fan" .

These chaps along with 7 other chums ran the whole route in a relay team, leaving Tarbert at 0600hrs Saturday 12th Aug and reached Southend at 2130hrs, half an hour over their approximated time, a great achievement and well done.


Bumped into Simon Booth (Stirling) approaching Saddell, his start point was Brackley, north of Carradale.



Simon reaches his change over point at top of Saddell hill.

For some reason I can no longer view the pictures. Does everyone get the same problem or is it just me???

[Rabmacd]

Cancel that--problem fixed

Ninja.. what is that thing that looks like a ruin in the water in your last picture?

[Ninja Mania]

Tis a trick of the camera T.j perhaps caused by the low level of the camera when taking the photo, all it is, is a strainer that used to hold a wee docking jetty for the wee boat that fished the loch. (I think)

[Bobbie En Tejas]

Oh, thanks Ninja. It looked like it could have been larger and further away in the first pic. You should have a disclaimer: "Objects may be closer than they appear."

[Pete Reek]

I think his brain might be further away than it appears.
I'm sure he really meant to say that it was people in the boat that fished the loch Boats are really meant for "sittin on top o the watter, naw fishin in Killypole"

Has anyone walked any of this recently? We have friends from down south visiting over Christmas and were hoping to take a bit of walking in. Wondering if any parts of this are closed with the recent wet spate of weather?

Rather low key the Kintyre Way isn't it?

[Buzz Lightyear]

Other than a bad bit a Clachan that is flooded & very boggy i think the rest is open & ok

[Beachcomber]

There was a steady stream of walkers using it through Carradale up until the middle of October. Don't think I've seen anyone on it since the grotty weather arrived.

[mrn]

Thanks for that - will give it a go.

Kintyre Way opening celebrations at Saddell Bay on the 12th August 2006.


Some pics taken with the organizers of the walk, landowners, guests and entertainment groups. A great night had by all with snacks and refreshments.

Walked this route with my friend Steve last October. Weather was not the best as you can see with some pics, but the views on a good day would be marvelous.


Largiebaan junction to Amod farm south and Machrihanish north. Just follow the track.

Leave road and go over stile, follow marker posts uphill.
