Machrihanish to Point Sands via Westport, Bellochantuy, Muasdale, Chleit, Tayinloan.
4 miles of sandy beach to start (incl shallow wade). A83 verge hopping - using short beach, village roads or old road sections where possible. Sand / silt narrow beach to end.
Kintyre Way
(this trail is not always coastal)
Lovely walk along Westport Beach to start completely poilt by A83 highway. I found any excuse to get away from it and would recommend anyone else to do likewise. A beautiful almost tropical small beach was hidden away at Chleit and after this I was more determined to stick to the beach away from the road.
My Rank: **
