We cut across Drumadoon Bay, which is backed by the village of Blackwaterfoot, and made landfall at...
...
Brown Head. The water here was crystal clear but the extensive boulder beach, which lies at the bottom of the headland, extends for 4 kilometres and...
...virtually prevents landing.
However, as it was approaching LW, we found a little strip of sand below the rocks on which to land.
Somehow we had managed to paddle right past this narrow clearing which has been made through the rocks. This was obviously used by our ancestors who wished to launch boats here.
I had spotted an otter as we approached and found this half eaten sea urchin at the edge of the sparkling sea. I went for a swim in the cool clear water then...
...dried off in the sun on the grassy machair of a...
...raised beach while Tony went for a walk. The machair was filled with buttercups and would have made a great place to camp but Ailsa Craig (on the horizon) was still some way off and it made sense to carry on round the Arran coast.
