Following a
number of call-offs, an early morning decision was made to change the scheduled
walk from Glenapp to Ballantrae to a more local one. Hence we met at Annbank
Bowling Club for our familiar walk from there down to Ayr. The Kilmarnock
battalion was resplendent in shorts although the early air had a chill to it as
we set off down the path towards the River Ayr. The path had dried out well and
before we knew it we arrived at Auchincruive where we were surprised to see
that the wall adjacent to the path had been cleaned and restored. Oswald Hall
is now in new ownership so this may well explain the renovations. A leisurely
coffee break was taken at the Wallace and Burns monument before setting off
towards our lunch stop at the stepping stones over the river. We hadn’t tried
to cross over today as we are compassionate people and we know of Davie’s
aversion to crossing here, but it was just as well as the water was still
tumbling over them.

The rest of
the walk down to Ayr was uneventful other than when we crossed the footbridge
over to the UWS side of the river. There was a booming noise as we crossed
which we discovered was being caused by the walkway bouncing, the far end of it
having become detached from its footings. Scottish engineering at its best
again!
Having
reached the High Street we had twenty minutes to spare before catching the bus,
so the time was spent browsing in
Waterstone’s .

FRT was
taken at the Tap o’ the Brae. Another good day out in fine walking conditions.
