The weather forecast had been correct
as, when we arrived at the Gogo Burn, it was wet and windy. There was no
dissent in changing the walk to a low-level one and Largs to Fairlie was selected.
However, as we readied ourselves, the weather deteriorated causing us to walk to
Wetherspoon’s for a coffee in anticipation of an improvement later in the
morning. This was no hardship at all!
It was nearly eleven o’clock when we
decided to make a move as the rain had slackened and the sky had brightened
and, as we made our way along the path, the rain went off. From then on, we had
it mainly dry and bright, but with intermittent squally showers. The route follows
the path towards Fairlie and then takes you down on to the beach before finding
the path again just as you leave the village. The previous occasion this walk
was done (28 March 2018) we, after a stop for coffee at the picnic benches,
continued up to the headland and looped back to the benches for lunch, but
today we satisfied ourselves by having lunch at the benches and then starting
off on the return journey.By the time we arrived back at the cars at about quarter to two, we were in very welcome, warm sunshine.
The walk must have been between seven and eight miles in length and had been a sensible alternative to the proposed one.
FRT was taken in Drouthy Neebors where, as usual, a convivial hour was spent.
A good day out, all things considered!
