Overview

9.45 bus from Guildford Square to Kilchatten. Walking out WIW to Lighthouse then walking up into Glen Callum and walking back to Kilchatten along the West Ridge. About 4 miles, two and a half hours walking. Moderate walk but as usual the path out to the  lighthouse is rough in places and there is a short but steepish climb into the Glen, good pair of boots/wellies advised.
