Sunny again at breakfast and a slow start waiting for the ferry. Got to Craignure on Mull about half ten and headed south east. We had to stop a lot on the single track roads as they were so busy. After passing through Glen More we turned right and the B road was a bit quieter. We had first lunch looking out to Aird of Kinloch. The wind when it blew was cold but the sun was out most of the time.

There was a BCQ at Gruline then second lunch at Salen just after four. The single track to Tobermory was very busy and needed a lot of stops. Andy shopped an we had Mexican wraps for dinner.

We hadn't realised when we arranged this trip but the Ayr airshow was planned for the day we were going to Ayr. With a dangerous building at Ayr railway station meaning a limited service we re-routed to Gourock, a nice simple 35 min jaunt from Glasgow.

We headed down the coastal cycle route, this is sometimes on pavements making it slow going. We stopped at Nardini's in Largs and enjoyed their ice-cream. At Ardrossan we found that one of the ferries was off resulting in long queues of cars, luckily for us there was plenty of room for bikes so we got straight on the ferry for Brodick, Arran.

The island was much quieter, in fact I only realised how noisy the day had been when the noise stopped.

A picturesque climb up Glen Sannox took us to the lovely hostel at Lochranza.
