Hiking in Largs, Scotland.
Saturday, June 13, 2009
Today, I did a hike with the local group, Eastwood Ramblers. This was centred on Largs, West of Scotland. It is a nice area, well-known for its nautical activities, weather and beaches. We started the hike at 10 am and we finished at 4 pm.
The hike was good in a peaceful vegetation. We crossed the Gogo water and we climbed and went down mountains. The view was wonderful, we can see at the top of the hill, the Great Cumbrae Island and not far the little Cumbrae Island.
After the hike, we visited Largs and we saw the Largs Pencil. It is a monument to the battle of Largs in 1263 at which a Scots army defeated the Vikings. It was a intensive hike but with beautiful landscape and a good weather.
