Kilmau Survey

3XJune 2024 by Mary Oz

Route description

I adjusted the route to avoid the Carnell Estate, which I think is private. Also, we worried that there might be access and animal issues through the longish section of field crossings just north of Mauchline, so I found an easier way. I also took the opportunity to avoid the busy main roads at the two ends of the route.
