Change of Programme Walk Islay

Ian Brooke sent the following information tonight re Walk Islay which will start Saturday 11 April: "Basically, as there is no ferry to Colonsay on Wednesday 15th now, James How will not be able to have his walk there. So instead, he will meet with folk at Ardnave at 10 am. The walk initially will go round Ardnave Point, when we get to Traigh Nostaig, there are 2 options available. The easier option is return inland to your car at Ardnave, the other longer option is to continue along the coast to Sanaigmore. When we get to Sanaigmore, Outback Art Gallery will be open for those who may wish to purchase a welcome cuppa of tea, coffee or hot chocolate. Transport will be laid on for drivers to get back round to Ardnave to pick their vehicles up.This longer option can be tough going after Traigh Nostaig on some sections along the coast. Please remember to bring your lunch with you!

For those not wishing to go round Ardnave, there is an afternoon walk led by Neil Park starting at 2pm from the Playing Fields in Bowmore. Neil's walk takes in The Battery, and out along the shoreline to Gartbreck, and return along The Moss road to Bowmore.
