Overview

Walkers can meet first at Lorne Street car park, Lochgilphead for 09:30 to car share. A number of drivers will be needed to drive to Carsaig, so there will be cars at both ends of the walk!

The walk will start at Crinan Harbour for 10am. 

A steep start, walking from Crinan Harbour, up to a view point, looking out over to Jura, then relatively easy walking on forest tracks, through Knapdale Forest, to Carsaig Bay. As it is a linear walk there will be cars at the start, Crinan Harbour and the end at Carsaig Bay!
