We are the Kilmarnock & Loudoun Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
This is a B grade walk.
We cross the A76 and go down a short section of farm road towards the phone mast, where we begin to climb Corsencon. We follow a track around the side of the hill before we climb steeply to the summit (475metres) where we will admire the view and have a short break....weather permitting.
We will begin descending steeply towards a wooden fence which we climb over onto a rough moorland area. This leads us to a farm track which we follow almost to the farm where we pick up another path taking us to a wooded copse where we will have our final break. Then we head across fields towards a burn where we climb a fence which leads us back across farmers fields onto the farm road where we began the walk Then we cross the A76 back to the cars.
This is likely to be a muddy walk so gaiters and walking poles are advised. There is a burn to cross and 2 fences to climb. Great care has to be taken crossing the A76 as this is a busy fast road.
