Castle Kennedy to BargrennanA long section which is normally broken into two with a night at New Luce.
| The Way now starts to climb into less populated areas and passes through forestry as well as open moorland. The Beehive Bothy offers an alternative stop for the night or just a place to stop for a cup of tea and to sign the visitors book. | As this section of the route crosses open moorland and is often some way from the nearest town a map and compass should always be taken. Certain parts of this section are impassable to horses and cyclists. |
