I penned this to a conclusion during the Covid crisis in January 2021, as like many we had been enjoying local walks which are very therapeutic for the body and mind. In terms of your own mental health, its important that you have positive thoughts to balance those challenges we all a have. No better way than exercise supported by vistas of Ayrshires coast.

Remember You

Away take a wander by Low Gameshill View, to where the track and the hedgerow subside,

Look west through the three trees, the old and the new, where the clouds and Goatfell collide.

Continue your dawner down past the nest, and take a geek towards the beautiful Isle,

Take a breath as you’ve been blessed, in the ability to enjoy Arran view with a smile.

Exhale as you must and soak in this moment of pleasure and peace, forgetting your pain,

Don’t be hard on yourself, no more lament, believe that those challenges will wain.

If you take the wander by Low Gameshill View, where the track and the hedgerow subside,

Remember the view, be remembering you, and who you are with such pride.
