We left our B+B after another great breakfast and headed towards Lanarkshire in heavy rain. We had to push hard to make the 3.30pm ferry over to Arran. Got lost in traffic in Irvine, but car sat nav saved the day. Not the best day on the bike as most of the journey was through heavy traffic and towns.
Arrived at ferry terminal with only 5 minutes to spare. Arrived in Brodrick on Arran, headed out to Lochranza again in more heavy rain, this time up a steep pass around 750 feet. Looked daunting from the bottom, but Steve and I (Kev) managed the climb ok. Enjoyed the decent into Lochranza. Found the hotel. Some of the staff were far from helpful.
Heading towards the mainland on the 8.15 ferry tomorrow, hoping for better weather.
Meeting Lee in Oban.
Keeping this blog update short, as we are all totally knackered. Need some sleep!
Pics include Sudocrem applied to feet, Androssen Ferry and Steve's bike tucked up in his room (The hotel owner refused to lock the bikes up), Lochranza Castle and the skyline in Arran at 10.30pm.
