It certainly is a big long walk but so worth it for the variety and stunning views at every turn! I think I have almost the same set of photo's as you from doing the same route in July, minus Fishermans walk, as our "pure" route involved walking from the ferry to the family home, staying the night and then heading off the next day and returning home after for a very well earned rest before walking back for the ferry the day after, with pretty tired legs as the hill fitness was low for both of us then!
Fishermans Walk never used to flood as much until Charlie Ford the local arsehole laird sold half of the sand on Brodick beach to the Arabs for their golf courses, which is why the main part of Brodick beach is such a mess now, not happy about that at all as are most people, so blame him for your diversion!
We managed to get a cracking day for it when we did the 6 peak/4 Corbett challenge, i'm glad you enjoyed it along with some of the local beverages! We also took the not so easy scramble route down off the summit of Cir Mhor, it looks much steeper and worse once you reach the bottom and look at what you came down!
I did the Beinn Bharrain/Mullach Buidhe/Beinn Bhreac traverse in September which was also a great walk but kept looking over with jealousy at the Corbetts... well worth it for the view of them from there though.
I'm heading back next weekend to do a more local walk or two around Brodick, probably A'Cruach and the Clauchland Hills but i'm planning a big Graham top route from Sannox to Brodick at some point to take in the summits I missed the last time. Cheers for sharing Broggy!
Johnny and silverhill, you won't be disappointed when you head over to the rock, loads of fun to be had and plenty to choose from, enjoy!!
