I created this video of our recent epic hike on the Isle of Arran, Ayrshire, Scotland. Wow, and what a hike it was!
We walked up Glen Sannox which is so beautiful and an enjoyable walk. It's such a stunning glen!
When we reached the top of the glen and crossed to the other side of the Sannox Burn, it was a strenuous hike and a scary scramble up to The Saddle. Good weather helped us keep going and we took lots of breaks. It came to a point of no return as we were so high, and the thought of going back down was not an option for us.
I couldn't believe it when we reached The Saddle, a stunning meeting of the two glens (Glen Sannox and Glen Rosa) where we stayed for an hour and a half. I was in awe of the surrounding Arran mountains, then a Royal Navy helicopter flew up Glen Rosa, over The Saddle and down Glen Sannox.
For us though, it was a long walk with tired legs down through beautiful Glen Rosa back to Cladach near Brodick Castle where our car was parked. My Garmin recorded almost 16 kilometres (10 miles).
I loved every moment and it made me feel so happy that I can still manage a challenging hike, slowly though.
I hope you enjoy the video 😀
Love, Dawn-Marie x
