Troon Beach to Heads of Ayr
Stages of the Walk
Ayrshire & Clyde Valley
The Sleeping Warrior on Arran
The Stages section of the website records our progress so far by region and then the individual stages of our walk around the coast of Great Britain. It records the miles walked on each section and the accumulated mileage for the whole walk up to and including any individual section. The miles recorded are the complete miles walked on any specific day and journey. This will include where we have had to walk additional miles to reach accommodation at the end of each stage and any diversions encountered.
Mileage is generally recorded on a Garmin device or similar and where this has not been possible, e.g. battery runs out, approximate mileage has been calculated using OS Map service.
For the purposes of the journal Ayrshire & Clyde Valley section starts at Ballintrae and on up to and including the north and south banks of the River Clyde, as well as the sea lochs that come off of the north bank of the river. The Ayrshire & Clyde Valley section ends at Dunoon, after which walks are recorded as Argyllshire. The walk sections do not necessarily coincide with the local council boundaries.
