We had a good night on Arran, a great island to visit, beautiful in places but I would struggle to live there!
It was a 0930 ferry to the mainland and then a 60 mile run into Oban for lunch. Quite a few climbs and some wonderful descents. Had a good meal in Oban with a couple of Dave and Helen's friends who live on Mull and got the ferry over to meet us. I said it was good they made the effort to meet us and Dave said "what effort- we've cycled from Land's End!"
The run from Oban to Loch Leven was windy and tough with me and Simon leading for a while until Double Pants Dave super cycle hero blasted ahead and led us in for the last 10 miles against a tough wind.
Loch Leven hotel is in a amazing location and the views out the window are something else. Watching the Grand Prix and typing this during the red flag period!
So that's 800 miles done and 200 left. We are taking a scenic route tomorrow along small tracks up the side of Lochs. It will be slow going but worth it, although the weather looks rough tomorrow, ie wet.
No photos today I'm afraid as we are not in a wifi or 3G zone!
