Kelly Cut from Inverkip Via Wemyss Bay distance of approx 9 miles.



Week 2 of “The Slackers” training program, decided to stay local again this week doing a loop from Inverkip to Kellybank reservoir a distance of approx 9 miles.

Involves some hilly terrain so good practice for “The Beuchille”

                  Made our way along the path from Inverkip to Wemyss bay  Which was muddy in places, 


Chaz and John @ path start

                                                                 
some Ponies@ fields above Wemyss bay


After approx 45minutes we emerged at Wemyss Bay Holiday Park , which is en-route to Kelly reservoir

After a brief stop for pictures at the reservoir we started to make our way back down.. was to cold to hang around and a beer and a warm fire awaited in the Wemyss Bay station bar.
