The long walk out....to the ferry

            Walking, scrambling or climbing on the mountains of Arran, if tackled as a day trip, has a sense of Alpine urgency.  The last ferry to mainland leaves at the ridiculously early time of 7.20pm, which is the deadline for return to the dockside at Brodick.

On this day we had come over on the first ferry in the morning at 7am, and we allowed 3 hours for the walk out from Cir Mhor.  Had we not been offered a lift by a kindly lady when we got to Glen Rosa, I think we would have missed the last ferry.  3hr 30mins should definitely be allowed, and if you want to buy a couple of cold beers in the supermarket before boarding the ferry, then allow 4 hours!

This view is taken from below Cir Mhor in Coire Bhuide, with the famous A'Chir ridge on the right and Goatfell on the left.  Ahead is the long valley leading to Glen Rosa, with Holy Island in the distance.
