You have a choice of 3 walkers' events:

• 18 miles Torrisdale to Tayinloan, starting 11:00
• 22 miles Tarbert to Clachan, starting 07:30
• 31 miles Tarbert to Tayinloan, starting 07:30

This is not a relay and it is not a race. However you do need to be accustomed to doing 7-10 hours of continuous walking in hilly, off-road conditions.

You will probably want to walk with a group, either pre-planned, or by joining in with other people at the start.

What to bring:

• Map - Ordnance Survey Landranger 62/68 or Explorer 356/357
• Compass and whistle (in case mist comes down … path is sometimes indistinct)
• Windproof full body cover (because weather can change quickly)
• Mobile phone (but note: some places out of reception, depending on network)
• Water supply and food

Closing date for entries: Saturday 26 April 2008

Check-in/registration:

Friday 9 May, at Templars Arts & Leisure Centre, Tarbert, 17:00 to 21:15 (all walks)
OR

Every member of your group must check in personally.

At check-in, you will be given a hi-vis yellow bib with the Kintyre Way logo. This is a memento to keep, but also must be worn during sections on or near any public road (and preferably throughout the walk).

Details of 18-mile walk:

We provide a minibus leaving Tayinloan at 10:30 to take you to Torrisdale Square (grid ref. NR797364) for actual start of walk at 11:00. On this walk (only) you will be walking in the reverse direction to what is described in most printed guides or in our “Map and Terrain” pages.

If you haven’t got your own transport to/from start or checkpoints, don’t worry - lifts can be arranged (provided we know in advance).

Presentation of certificates:

Tayinloan Village Hall 20:30
Every walker will receive a personalised certificate.
Ceilidh/feast starting 21:00, following the presentation. The presentation is open to everyone, but you need tickets for the ceilidh/feast.
