Day 4. Monday, 7th April 2014. Bargrennan to St. John's Town of Dalry. 25 miles. An early start was necessary in order to complete this, the longest day of the trail. Again it was raining as I set off. The first few miles were on a soggy woodland path alongside the River Cree. Another track took me away from the river and into yet more forrest. A purpose-built cinder track enabled me get up a decent speed and when a forrest road was attained I was really 'motoring.' for the first time I was able to get some really good views of the surrounding hills and of the several lochs on the route. My main objective was the 25 miles and as it was still raiming I didn't linger. Had lunch. In the rain. Sitting on a large log. Good progress was made on tarmac until the sting in the tail for the day was a climb to the top of Waterside Hill before descending to Dalry to for the night. An exhausting walk finished at 18.05. Weather. Light drizzle persisted until 16.30 when the sun put in its daily appearance.
