Point Sands to West Tarbert via Clachan, Corran, Whitehouse.
Following the Kintyre Way again, shingle beach to start (beware of nesting terns). Up and alongside the A83. Occasionally off road through overgrown and cut back bracken paths. Leave Kintyre Way at Clachan and head coastwards (cracking otter spot). Back to A83 for 10 miles of nasty road walking.
Kintyre Way
(this trail is not always coastal)
A two part day. First part lovely with shingle beach and paths alongside the main road topped off by a beautiful lunch spot on the West Loch Tarbert shoreline near Corran. The second part was hell and my most hated road section of the entire coast walk. Fast moving traffic in sporadic groups just not looking. Beware!
My Rank: **
