Walk Saturday 23rd October 2021
Saturday's walk will be led by Jim, and is a moderate 9 mi ramble to Kilchattan via Loch Fad, the Moor Road, Knocknicol Wood, Mount Stuart Orchard & Courtyard cafe, South Lodge, Kilchattan Bay to Kilchattan Orchard & PO. You've got it - we're going apple-picking while there are lots on the trees. We meet at the Discovery Center at 10 am and so far the weather looks as if it will be sunny albeit a little breezy at times. Pair of good walking boots /shoes, clothing appropriate to the weather on the day, poles to help get the goodies off the trees, drinkables & optionally a packed lunch, and personal first-aid kit are what's required. See you there.
