6 DAYS WALKING / 7 OVERNIGHT STAYS

If you are a fit walker with well worn in boots, then you may wish to take on the challenge of a six day walk. Having walked the trail ourselves on a few occasions, then we can advise that it is definitely achievable, though a fair challenge in adverse weather conditions and with a bit of boulder hopping on some sections 

Day 1	Arrive Isle of Arran	With good public transport links to Ardrossan, and a short ferry trip, arrive into Brodick, the Island’s capital
Day 2	Brodick to Sannox (8 miles/13 km)	The choice of a hill climb over the shoulder of Goat Fell (optional trek to the top) with spectacular views or take the lower alternative on main road & cycle track
Day 3	Sannox to Lochranza (9 miles/14.5 km)	Many points of interest on this lovely day along the coast comprising of a mixture of path and beach walking with some manageable and fun boulder hopping
Day 4	Lochranza to Machrie (13 miles/21 km)	Mainly road walking but with fine views and light traffic with a finish of two miles of great beach walking. Overnight Blackwaterfoot
Day 5	Machrie to Lagg (13 miles/21 km)	Visit the King’s Cave on this day comprising of some road walking and a fine beach path
Day 6	Lagg to Whiting Bay (10 miles/16 km)	Your first glimpse of Ailsa Craig and fine sea views across the Firth of Clyde
Day 7	Whiting Bay to Brodick (12 miles/19.5 km)	You pass through the village of Lamlash on this day. A mix of forest paths and roads followed by beach path to take you to your final destination in Brodick

Please note that (1) due to limited accommodation choices and many accommodations now having a minimum two overnights stay, this walk now involves multiple transfers and (2) to avoid a transfer at the stage of Lagg then please ensure that your dates avoid landing in Lagg on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. However, this walk is still worth considering due to its beautiful landscape and having multiple overnight stays in the same place just means less unpacking and packing! Your comprehensive tour pack will explain all
