Carsluith to Kirkinner via Creetown, Newton Stewart, Wigtown, Bladnock, Braehead.
Follow cycle route 7 up through forest inland away from A75. Return to A75 near Newton Stewart, through the town and sharp left down A714. Turn off left at St Ninian's Well and stay close to the estuary. Lanes to Wigtown, old railway embankment and short section of A746 to Kirkinner.
Cycle Route 7
The cycle route is a much more pleasant alternative to the A75 and walking into Newton Stewart avoid a particularly nasty section of main road which I didn't fancy in the pouring rain. The A714 is equally nasty but there are a few roadside paths to escape to. The lanes and railway embankment are a blessed relief though finding a way down off the railway embankment at Bladnoch and back to the road was a challenge.
My Rank: **
