30th May.
All I can say about the weather today is SCORCHIO.
 |
| Ironworks buildings |
Out of Muirkirk past the Kames Motorsport track and the old Ironworks to the moor again and the site of McAdam's works.

| Click on picture to enlarge. |
The route travels down the River Ayr starting on the open moor and getting progressively more wooded further down.
The path wanders away from the river at times.
And then rejoins at others.
The banks became progressively steeper and more wooded.
There would have been a nice lunch stop at Sorn but the hotel is closed and there is nothing there but expensive houses.
 |
| Sorn church. |
The route continues close to the river, at times fairly high above it.
 |
| Lots of beautiful Hawthorn. |
Under a huge railway viaduct outside Catrine.
Then up to Mauchline where I had booked a b&b.
A very hot walk, again the shower was much appreciated.
 |
| Bridge height marked in feet! |
18.5 miles walked 400 meters ascent.
The banks became progressively steeper and more wooded.
There would have been a nice lunch stop at Sorn but the hotel is closed and there is nothing there but expensive houses.
