On a Walk to New Orleans

15.3C with lots of sunny sunshine. Hazy again. Light to moderate E/ENE breeze.

After lunch I went for a walk. I went round past the harbour and along by the ferry terminal and followed the shore side of the park and on out Kilkerran road past the Goldsmith's house and studio to the NATO refuelling jetty at Glenramskill and then kept going until I reached the 70 mile marker (or 30 miles if coming the other way) on the Kintyre Way which is out past the Doirlinn, round Kildalloig Bay past Davaar House and along the road to Ballimenach and almost to New Orleans. It was lovely and warm. Shame it gets hazy when the temperature gets up like this. I couldn't see Ailsa Craig at all today.

Still lots of lambs in the fields. No seals today, but plenty of Gannets diving, both in the loch and round in Kildalloig Bay. Herons too, at intervals along the shore

I turned at the marker and came back the same way but went along the street side of the park and came back home through town past the town hall; and the bookshop (The Old Bookshelf) which was closed.

Music on the Clip for walking:
Aly Bain and Phil Cunningham, The Pearl then The Ruby.

Afternoon music ... The Band from Rockall (eponymous).
