Machrie Moor (23.10.2011)

Started walking from Lochranza down the west coast of Isle of Arran until we managed to hitchhike to the entrance of the moor. Despite the weather, we had a splendid tour among the many stone circles and standing stones of Machrie Moor. To be honest, I've never seen so many stone formations in one place before. After a whilwe the rain intensified and started leaking into my low cut wellingtons. Fortunately we had had the time to get a good look on the moor and its mysterious preserves from the past before the rain got too heavy, so we decided it was time to go home. Luckily we managed to rather quickly get a ride, and even more luckily a ride with a nice bloke who drove us all the way to the entrance of the youth hostel we were staying at.

With me on tour: Claire.
