Danger, Discipline and... Dairy Cows?



Day 4 on the Ayrshire Coastal Path sees Coops and I on the trail from Girvan to Maidens via Turnberry Lighthouse, hiking through the agricultural lands of South Ayrshire, Scotland.


With a forecast of thunder and lightning plus heavy rain for later in the day, we set off on our backpacking adventure where we dodged tractors on a busy farm, got chased by a herd of inquisitive and overly excited cows, stumbled upon a torpedo on the beach from WW2, found what looked like a space craft, explored a disused military outpost and narrowly avoided getting squished by heavy goods vehicles traveling at 60mph plus after the map led us the wrong way onto a busy arterial road.


Backpacking has been such an incredible way of discovering the beauty of the landscape I grew up in. By getting stuck into some long distance walking, I've come to realise how much we are all missing in the name of convenience! The scenery on this section of the Ayrshire Coastal Path was stunning as always and we had an amazing time - testing our gear, learning valuable lessons and soaking up the rich character of Ayrshire whilst hiking through the landscape.
