Went over late Friday night after work. Parked at kilchattin Bay walked a couple of miles just past the light house. wildcamped fab spot with water source. Next day was stunning the view were amazing, really enjoyed the first real day. very limited water sources eventually found a spot to wild camp nearly 14 miles. Would have continued but knew there wasn't many places to wild camp. Sunday we walked through the forest then onto a bike trail nearly to Ettrick Bay then you turn off on a farmer's road, then through fields then through Boggie fields until you get to a forest. limited water source again. No real views tbh.. We seen a sign through the forest telling us to take a right but the map we had told us to continue through the forest to the road. then about 6miles of road we walking. We realised we wish we had followed the sign we had seen. Buses were limited due to being a Sunday managed to get a lift back to get car to get ferry back home. First day stunning, second day was more just a slog but glad I did it.

A nice remote trail with some phenomenal sites. you can resupply every couple of days fairly easily so it makes it a lot more manageable. I did it in two days, but would be best in 3, to savour the views. the trail is deteriorated in sections but it makes it more fun. worst part is the last 20 or so miles as it's on road, which is awful on the feet. You can go straight into the Kintyre way from it if you go sobo
