Scotland Holiday -Day 5
Isle of Arran, Waterfall walk
This morning we packed everything up, loaded the car and set off for the Isle of Arran.
We were aiming for a 12.30 crossing, we got there about 11.30 and found somewhere sheltered to have some lunch. At 12.15 they started to load up the ferry and by 12.30 we were on our way to Arran. We got the ferry from Ardrossan to Brodick.
The mountains of the north part of the island were very clear from the ferry.
We arrived at13.25, When we got off the ferry we headed for Lamlash to find where we were staying. We arrived at Dyemill Lodges around 2pm. We were shown to our lodge and unpacked our stuff. We had seen a waterfall walk on the map we fancied doing so we headed out. On the way we stopped to check out a place we had understood there were some climbing routes suitable for us. However we weren't in luck, we were either in the wrong place or didn't look in right place and ended up walking back to the car. We parked up near the waterfalls walk and set off.
It was a pleasant walk though it was quute muggy this evening. At the top we had a great view of the waterfalls.
The walk down was much quicker! Back at the lodge we made the most of the better kitchen facilities and made ourselves a mini roast dinner! We watched the local weather and it looks like it will be better on Sunday for walking up Goatfel, we will have to see what it looks like in the morning.
