Epic walk today off-path (even when there was meant to be a path!) in the interior valleys of #arran. We began with a climb up Glen Catacol to Loch Tanna, then headed cross-country to Glen Jordan, up over at Loch na Davie and down an incredibly wet and boggy route to the bottom of Gleann Easan Biorach, at which point we squelched into the #arrandistillery for some much deserved whisky, trying not to leave puddles on the floor. At one point I went up to my waist in a bog, which was a new experience for me. The gale force winds and driving rain certainly added to the experience. I couldn’t have been with lovlier or more determined walking companions. Alas, I lost the point of my walking stick. Will need to get a replacement, I think! A memorable day’s walk, to be sure.
