North Glen Sannox

Had an easy start to the day. Nether of us woke up til after 0930, a bit of a problem when breakfast ends at 0930. Had to rush despite being on holiday. After breakfast we headed back to the room to plan the day. Weather wise, it not too bad a day. Its overcast but not actually raining, breezy but warm.
We cannot see the top of Goatfell yet so do not want to try something that dramatic but it does look like a nice enough day to try something else - like North Glen Sannox.
We headed into Brodick to get some stuff for lunch and then headed off through Corrie along to the car  park for the Sannox walk.
It was a nice pleasant walk with the weather getting better as we headed along. As with most paths on Arran this one was in great condition. It brought us through moorland and then forestry park, with the river running alongside us. Once we crossed the deer gate back into moorland we decided that the dark clouds coming over Arran were a little bit too ominous. We found a good spot and settled for our lunch.
While we we eating wee saw a large bird of prey. Lochranza distillery have some golden eagles as mascots - perhaps one of those?

The walk back to the car was uneventful apart from me going over on my bad ankle a few times. On the way back it threatened rain a few times but never came to anything.
Spent the rest of the day in the pools. By the time we got back to the hotel Ciaran felt he was due a swim so, after booking a Gorge Walk for Sunday lunchtime, we headed to the pool in the main hotel. So we swam there for just over an hour, headed back for dinner, once that settled, back to Spa pool for just under 2 hours.
While we were in the pool the threatening rain finally arrived. It was bouncing off the pavement  6 inches!
