We are the Cunninghame Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
We will enjoy the open moorland landscape of these hilltops with great views of the islands on the Firth of Clyde and inland to the hills above Lochwinnoch.
From the entrance to the Kelburn Windfarm just west of Blairpark Farm, we walk north up the track passing Howcraig, staying on the gravel track for about 3km when we turn left off the track, walking up to the summit of Feuside Hill. Care is needed as we will need to navigate tributary burns and drainage ditches.
From the summit of Feuside Hill we make our way to Little Irish Law and onto Irish Law, the highest point of our walk, passing the wreckage of the Vickers Viking aircraft.
From the trig point we make our way to the low point between Irish Law and Knockside Hills, walking along the ridge to reach the Knockside Cairns. While lower than Irish Law the prominent shape of the hill offers stunning views on a clear day.
It is a steep descent from the summit down to the river and we aim to cross the river at the narrowest point before heading up to the track and back to our cars.
This won't be a walk for everyone.
