Log No 124. Sat 7th Sep 2013 - Machrihanish to Largiebaan, 6 miles (1926 miles walked)

I had to get to Machrihanish to continue from where I finished yesterday butvthe earliest I could get there was 13.30.

Depending on the weather, once I got there, I would either take the day off and stay at the campsite there or walk on for a couple of hours and camp on the hill.

It rained right through the night and into the morning but it did seem to be improving.

When I got to Machrihanish it was dry so I set off walking out of the village to the end of the road at Ballygroggan Farm.

The Kintyre Way followed a track from here and I stopped to speak to a couple of lads in the Coastguards who were doing some off road training.

The track soon became a path and went between two hills then along Innean Glen before climbing steeply up again.

This area was the Largiebaan Wildlife Area and I saw a couple of goats on the hill.

I lost the path once so it was a good job I was not walking in cloud otherwise I would never have been able to spot one of the marjer posts.

I stopped at 16.00 on a high point but lying in the tent now it seems to be a poor decision.

The wind has gotten up to be very strong and it is bucketing down.

6 miles and no phone signal.
