  • Part 3 of backpacking the Arran Coastal Way.
    Sections of the hike were mentally and physically challenging.
    And mistakes were made!!
    I never thought that I would be facing heat as an issue for this trip. It was mid May on Arran after all!!
    There was a huge section that had nowhere to camp and I’m now seriously considering the virtues of bivvi camping.
    - I haven’t bivvi camped since my army days … a loooooong time ago… maybe it’s time to revisit it?
    Good or bad idea??
    The beauty of a bivvi (bivvy…?) is you can sleep nearly anywhere!
    That would have been incredibly useful during this section of the trail….

    Hi Annie, thank you for this great content. I will do the coastal way in September as my first long distance hike.

    Thanks for showing Arran's west coast Annie, I've been to Brodick three times and had a hellish week in a cottage in Lamlash many years ago where it rained constant for a week. 😪. Like 1.

    A beach to yourself Annie!!😍 One question. If you had fallen over in that cave and caused a domino effect on all those little stone cairns,would you have rebuilt them or done a runner?🤔

      🤣🤣🤣 I would definitely have meticulously sat for hours rebuilding them! Haha

    Never done the circuit yet. Camped one night a few years ago by the coastal path north of Sannox a bit. Had to push the bicycle a kilometre maybe, Great pitch. Would you recommend the full walk? I followed your wee bee's advice 🙂

      🥹 that wee bee bomb !!
      Absolutely, the full circuit is quite the experience. Well worth it, I had an amazing time. It could definitely be done just as day hikes and using buses, but backpacking it was pretty special ☺️
      I’ll be back over as soon as I can to do a bit of bike packing!

      @@annieoutdoors Nice. About 9 years ago I cycled up to Lochranza to get ferries over to Islay where I camped 2 nights before ferry to Oban. Then luxury of train back to Glasgow. I was really chuffed with myself☺️Btw the cycle up is a killer with kit!
