Kaim Hill and Cumbrae

 28 September 2022

Participants: Just me

Where: Kaim Hill, 387m/1,270', P 80m, Tump, OS 63, NS 227 534

I decided to approach this hill from Knockendon bridge on the back road between Fairlie and Dalry. This gave the advantage of a high start, a parking area and as I found, an excellent track all the way to the summit. The track was particularly welcome as the ground is rough hereabouts. The view from the high point, which is close by but not at the trig, is good, especially to the peaks of Arran. You can also see Cumbrae  and up the Clyde estuary to Dunoon and the sea lochs. A pictorial record of the climb, a hill that is well worth the little effort required.....

It was a short walk so I decided to head int Largs, get the ferry to Cumbrae, a favourite island, and the bus to it's main town, Millport......

Millport harbour.....

Another brilliant day out. September weather has been kind.
