Overview

An easy circular walk starting at West Kilbride station, through Kirktonhall Glen and on to a section of the Ayrshire coastal path before a wee uphill climb and an undulating stretch through rolling farmland.  Some sections of the farm tracks could be very muddy so please have appropriate footwear.

This walk is organised to co-incide with the Glasgow Ramblers summer lunch which starts at 12.45pm in Seamill - see the separate entry on this.

We know that some people may want to come on the lunch but not the walk and vice versa so to help with organisation,  please could you to book a place on the walk and a place on the lunch separately. Sorry if this seems a tiny bit inconvenient but it's a massive help to us.

To book on the walk, contact the walk leader Yvonne. (NOTE: you can do this any time for this walk)

To book on the lunch, see the entry about the lunch and contact event organiser Pauline.

Thanks in advance.
