We are the Cunninghame Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
The walk will be in Glentaggart a few miles south from Glespin in Lanarkshire.
The walk is about seven miles in total, largely on forestry roads and a final section on moorland to reach the summit of Cairn Kinney set at just under 500 metres. The height gain will be about 1000 feet. With Good visibility we should enjoy an amazing panorama.
Morrison's, Stevenston. Meet at 9.20 for car share and 9.30am departure. We meet in the supermarket car park in the corner far from the entrance, close to the big roundabout on the A78.
Driving through Glespin there is one significant road on your right running down to Crawfordjohn. Take this road for just over a mile and beyond a point where a minor road merges from your left. Exercise caution at this junction, but continue on for about a quarter mile, and you will spot a signpost indicating Glantaggert to your right. Follow this road out beyond Glentaggert farm. The road has been widened at this area to allow forestry lorries to pass each other. Simply park on the right side of the road where it is obviously clear enough. Do not drive far beyond the farm, as that will shorten the walk.
