    It's well steeper than it looks isn't it! Good thing it was a dry day!

      The kids enjoyed the walk and crawling over some rocks on the way up. It actually started chucking it down immediately after we finished 😂

    Excellent to see you guys back out and an excellent wee area. I do like the views from up there and it's a perfect adventure for wee legs.
    I look forward to seeing more of your trips again.

      Thank you! I’d be lying if I said your video didn’t inspire us to give it a look

    Hill of Stake was technically the most northern point of North Ayrshire and I headed up there during lockdown aswell.
    Lots of arse kicking getting done for sure😅.
    Interesting fact!
    Seemingly you can see the whole of Ayrshire from Loudon hill.

      I think North Ayrshire goes almost all the way to Loch Thom.
      You can see a fair amount of it, but not quite all of it sadly.

      Hoping they enjoy it enough to try larger hills in future!

    Brilliant video guys as usual. I was actually wondering the other day what happened to yous lol. Its been a while. Like the video with the kids. Gives me ideas where to take my son. Looks like a nice wee walk.

      Definitely a great walk if you have young kids, it’s a mini adventure for them with lots to see. We should be back with more regular videos again now and will talk a wee bit about our break in the next one.
