Starting at the Roundhouse Cafe, by the dam of Loch Doon we will leave around 10.20-10.30, taking the high path beside the Ness gorge out to toward Craigengillan. We follow the rising track up onto Eriff Moor out to Loch Muck. After a break, we will return on much the same route, but we will follow the path through the gorge in Ness Glen back to the cars. The route is about seven miles, with an overall height gain of about 200 metres in the second half of the outbound section.
Hope you can join us.
We will meet at Morrison's Car Park in Stevenston, KA20 3DE at 09.30.
