** SORRY - THIS WALK IS NOW FULLY BOOKED ** This walk skirts the Minnigaff Hills and with limited climbing it enables walkers to appreciate the rugged grandeur that is so much a feature of the Galloways, and with a high point of 445 metres it provides unique views of Larg, Lamachan and Curleywee.
Starting at Auchinleck where white deer are regularly seen the first section is on forest roads. From the road there is a short steeper section on rough ground leading to the top of Garlick Hill and from this vantage point the best views are obtained. The next section over Benailsa can be wet underfoot but several quad and animal tracks make it easier. Crossing the forest road the route climbs stony ground over Cairn Hill and the Nappersthen descends past the derelictNapper’s Cottage and the Thieves Standing Stones. Crossing further rough grazing ground and passing more stone circles and cairns a rough track is reached before descending to Drannandow Farm and down to the pick up point beside the river Cree.
