Some short stretches of the path were flooded out, it needed some bushwhacking to get past and walk the complete loop. Although next time I will walk it in the other direction (clockwise) as some helpful people had removed the footpath signs, which meant cutting across a paddock and hopping a fence to get back to the road.
Nice light though.
I take a lot of photos here as it is so close to Scandinavian Village.

I didn’t go up, but walked down to Coniston Water and walked along the lake side.
By the lake side I found a quiet spot to brew up. This time I had taken my miniature Alpkit Kraku stove and my titanium canteen cook set. Using gas means it is quick a minute or two to boil a mug of water and no residue so the coffee can be made in the pot/mug. Unlike the coffee stop on Thursday.

I started off early at a frozen Pine Lake.
Then a stop at Annandale Water Services.
Then on to Ayr to visit a university friend. Where we went for a walk along the Ayrshire Coastal Path.
The Blackthorn Salt Company was featured on an episode of the Hairy Bikers – this is their railway carriage office and evaporator near the Port of Ayr.
We also passed famous Prestwick Golf Club – where the first Open Championship was played.
The day finished in Aviemore with pizza.
