Well there is no doubt Autumn has arrived as a blast of very fresh cool air greeted us as the Ayr OIR met up for the walk to Ben Donich. The advantage of the crisp weather was the cracking blue skies that gave us fantastic views. I have blogged this hill recently so simply posting some snaps this time.
The new aspect of today’s walk was the descent where rather than back down the ascent route we went cross country heading for the Cowal Way junction near The Brack. A slippery grassy descent zig zagging to avoid the crags and the deep gashes in the rocks. Stunning views and enjoyable.
Another great walk in super company on a cracking day.
