Paddling under cliffs of sandstone and basalt.

As Phil and I paddled north past the cliffs of Carlandcheek...

...it was spring HW and we were able to make our way close under the sandstone cliffs, where the Lagg Burn tumbles from its ravine into the sea.

 There was just enough room to land and stretch...

...our legs at the base of the cliffs before continuing...

... under the basalt ridges of Bower Hill and...

...the Heads of Ayr.

  2. I've walked along that coast a few times now using the beaches as access. Surprisingly wild and dramatic coastline. Nice to see what it looks like from the water.

    1. Thanks Bob, You just need to ignore the big holiday park at Craig Tara but you are right about it being wild with the waterfalls cascading over the cliff.
