Path diversion at Lussa Loch 8 June 2010
June 2010
Lots of work is about to be carried out on the track which runs along the west side of Lussa Loch between Saddell and Campbeltown. As of today, 30th June, the Kintyre Way has been diverted down the east side of Lussa Loch to allow forestry works to take place. The diversion starts at Bord a Dubh (NR724 314) and joins the Peninver spur at NR 712 282. From there it is a short walk to the main waymarked route down to Campbeltown. There are diversion signs in place and the new route is waymarked.

Kintyre Way Milemarks 17 May 2010
There are now milemarks as far as Saddell. If the good weather continues I may even reach the end of the route before Summer is over!

Tarbert to Skipness track extension 14 February 2010
The forestry are busy extending the track above Tarbert. The Kintyre Way now branches away to the left about 500 metres along the new track. The junction is waymarked but keep an eye out for it as the new track is a dead end and anyone missing the junction will have a long detour. To see a picture of the junction have a look at www.spanglefish.com/thekintyreway

Carradale Route Change 14 August 2009
There has been a slight change to the route in Carradale. Instead of following the road out of Carradale the Kintyre Way now follows the forest track above the road, descending to the road at the Network Centre. The new route is well waymarked and a much more pleasant walk with no cars to worry about.

Ronachan House 17 June 2009
New Path Opens
The Kintyre way has now been diverted through the grounds of Ronachan House, a mile south of Clachan. Great news for all walkers this summer as it bypasses one of the worst road stretches. Please remember that Ronachan House is a hospital. Respect the residents privacy and travel through quietly and quickly.
