Walk Thirty Two

walk32

Walk 32 was nearly 14 miles and took just over 4 hours. Starting point was by the Raggatt in Peel. From here I walked out past Corrins Tower to Contary Head and along the Raad ny Foillan into Glen Maye.  Whilst the weather was very overcast and the undergrowth sodden the scenery proved to be quite dramatic in places and the walk very enjoyable.

On leaving the Glen Maye pub car park I turned right down the hill, past both Bayr ny Skeddan turnings and took the left turning up the narrow roadway which is also marked as a public footpath. This path takes you past Doarlish Cashen and the base of Dalby Mountain. The pathway comprised sheer rock face in places and may be tricky if wet, however, it is worth the effort.  When I reached the A27 I followed the road towards Glen Rushen Plantation and doubled back along the Bayr ny Skeddan to Glen Mooar. From here I walked up through Arrasey Plantation until I reached the road, then turned left and followed the greenway past Shenvalla.

When I reached the main road I went right and then took a footpath left to the Heritage Trail. I followed this until I reached the bridge. Here I rejoined the road to the Raggatt.

I really enjoyed this walk, the landscapes, scenery and feel good factor make this well worth an outing.
