Arrangements for Wednesday 10th April

"Triple A" walk: Annbank - Auchincruive - Ayr

Meet at the car park behind Morrison's supermarket in Castlehill Road, Ayr in time for the bus to Annbank (Service 43A) which leaves from Killoch Place at 9:38am (the next bus at 9:54am doesn't go into Annbank so we would have to disembark at Mossblown instead). Pre-booking for dogs might be required on the bus. We will walk 8 miles back to Ayr via Auchincruive. For any Ooters who are unable to join us on the walk, they can meet us at the Bothy Cafe in Auchincruive around 11am for a coffee. FRT can be taken at the Market Inn in Ayr. In the event of poor weather, we can just have a walk around Ayr (for example Rozelle and Belleisle parks).

From DavieM. Why not just do the Annbank Circle? Saves faffing about on buses. FRT at Tap o the Brae.

Thanks for your suggestion, Davie. I think that's a sensible point you've made. I'll update the arrangments for next Wednesday and say that we'll meet at the bowling club for a 10am departure. If we follow the route in an anti-clockwise direction that still gives us the choice of a coffee in the Bothy Cafe around 11am when some Ooters who are not fit for walking can meet with us. Then continue our walk to the Burns/Wallace cairn and back to Annbank via the River Ayr Way.
