A cyclist has admitted he has risked 'life and limb' on roads south of
Ayr as part of a video campaigning for a new active travel route.
A short documentary could pave the way for a new link between Ayr and
Girvan by repurposing an old railway track connecting the two towns.
The Culzean Way would cut out hair raising journeys for active travel
users including cyclists, runners and even horse riders.

A CO Antrim woman has told of the traumatic moment a horse struck the windscreen of her car after its teenage rider lost control of the animal.
"One boy, aged 16, was cautioned for failure to stop and remain at the
scene of a road traffic collision and being in charge of a horse drawn vehicle without due care and attention/without reasonable consideration,"
a spokeswoman said.
He got away with a caution!

He was driving along in his car and a horse (who had bolted its owner)
ran into his car causing damage.
Long story short, the owner of the horse said to go through insurance.
The insurance companies have said it has to go through my friends
insurance because there is nothing governing insurance for a horse (horse
to car doesn't exist). The car isn't worth that much so rather that
destroy his future insurance premiums, it's most sensible to just scrap the car off.
However, something here doesn't sit right with me. How can someones horse escape their control, write off a car and have zero consequence for the
horse owner? The owner can simply walk away from this like it never
happened, while my friend needs to scrap his car and buy a new one
(because its a worse option to go through insurance).
