Date walked: 31/03/2024
Time taken: 7.2 hours
Distance: 21.55km
Ascent: 1100m
Great walk with Chelsea
Parked up at Forest Lodge car park and headed up to the forest edge on the great tracks through the estate
From here it was stay on the wee windy path all the way up to the flat plateau leading across to Corserine .
Thought about cutting across early to Carlin's Cairn, but just went to Corserine, then down about 100m and up to the massive Carlin's Cairn.
The views across to Merick and Co. dominated the views today.
Glimpses across to goat fell on Arran from here too.
Back down and then the reascent of Corserine.
From here there's a couple of wee cairns which leads you onto a wee " path" heading down and up to Millfire- boggy and wet in places.
Photo stop and onto Milldown
and finally to Meikle Millyea.
Bypassed the trig and went straight over to the Cairn about 300m past.
Good views over to lamachan , curlywee, etc.
Back to the trig
Down to the wall and follow this down to where the path you're on cuts off from the wall and heads down the steep bit - wee scrambly wet steep bit today!!! As always take your time.
Back down to the forest, onto the track and back to the car park.
Great walk, great company with Chelsea, a wee tad breezy, great views.
Forgot to mention the goats , about 5 adults and their kids
Defo one of the better Donald walks
