Castle Semple woods © Serge Chabert

The possibility of spending time at Castle Semple park might have been just an afterthought... A fire is lit to burn Rhododendrons Some of us spent the following hours cutting down small branches with lopers and the bigger ones with wood saws. other gathered them and brought them to the glade, stacking them up on two mounds which were soon enough set on fire.

Not far from Greenock, perhaps about 7 miles uphill, on the side of the old Largs road, lay the derelict remains of Garvok farm. It is a solitary and desolate place on the moor.
