Event Details
The next AYROC activity will be training at Cambusdoon Estate in Ayr on Saturday 15th March 2025.
There will be a Yellow course and a training exercise in precision map reading.
Cambusdoon Park is a small area near the River Doon in Alloway, an estate which housed a school, now demolished and currently owned by South Ayrshire Council. This is a training map at 1:2500. The area has a large playing field and a deciduous woodland sloping down to the river. The usual leg cover and whistle are recommended. Dogs on leads only.
£5 per family and £2 per individual, cash on the day.
Travelling South on the A77 take the junction signposted for Alloway and the Burns Museum, take the first exit at the small roundabout then pass the Burns Monument on the left. At the T junction turn right on to the street named Alloway . There is parking on the right of this road and this should be used in preference to using the residential streets, such as Shanter Way.
Public Transport: there are buses which pass along Alloway, see Traveline Scotland.
The Start will be at the entrance to the park at the end of Shanter Way. Postcode KA7 4PF,
