Once again it proved to be a good route to have chosen. Through riverside woodland there was a good path and it was cooler. There were a number of bridges. We went under the A76, then over the Ayr and later under the Ballochmyle Viaduct (completed in 1848). Bob went back to the car and I continued on the path, that emerged at Haugh.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/dsc_01931446100673.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/dsc_01931446100673.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-618 alignnone size-full\" width=\"3920\" height=\"2204\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/dsc_01931446100673.jpg 3920w, https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/dsc_01931446100673-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/dsc_01931446100673-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/dsc_01931446100673-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/dsc_01931446100673-1200x675.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nMy route to the main road was via Station Road. There&#8217;s currently no station operating at Mauchline but there is a campaign underway to have it reinstated. The milestone on the A76 confirmed 9 miles to Kilmarnock (but that&#8217;s tomorrow).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/dsc_021768660027.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/dsc_021768660027.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-619 alignnone size-full\" width=\"2204\" height=\"3920\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/dsc_021768660027.jpg 2204w, https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/dsc_021768660027-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/dsc_021768660027-768x1366.jpg 768w, https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/dsc_021768660027-576x1024.jpg 576w, https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/dsc_021768660027-1200x2134.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nI stopped at the Burns House Museum at the cross roads in Mauchline. There&#8217;s a lot of Burns memorabilia in the town in which he lived before he married. In the museum we sat down for a cool rest and listened to a recording of his poem &#8216;To a mouse&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/DSC_0220.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/DSC_0220.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-621 alignnone size-full\" width=\"3920\" height=\"2204\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/DSC_0220.jpg 3920w, https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/DSC_0220-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/DSC_0220-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/DSC_0220-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/DSC_0220-1200x675.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nWe picked up an ice cream on the way back to the car: it had been a very hot day for a walk.
