Day 14

We didn't arrive at Lochranza Youth Hostel until 7pm..managed to catch a great sunset going down on the West coast.


We were cream crackered and the haul over the Isle of Arran had just about done us. ...not only that but we were sharing with the all Australian snoring champion...and you thought that I was bad Big Dave..well have some of that my son...

Got up just after Big Dave left at 6am to return home, so I'm on my jack now until Fort William. I made my way to the Ferry terminal and when passing Lochranza Castle noticed several Deer grazing in the stillness of early morning.



Caught the 8.15 ferry to Clainog and was on my bike by 9am for the 62miles to Oban.


I am by now well Jocked up having had the Haggis, Scotch Pie, Whisky and Scotch Broth. I'm going to get the old Monarch of the Glen hat in Fort William , the one like a beret with tartan tassels and everything the full bifta!...

I'm fed up of going on about the scenery so NO MORE!..let the snaps do the talking.


Cycled through Tarbet a quaint fishing village and made a beeline for the cafe for a bacon roll, cup of tea and toast. Managed to hook-up to their WiFi connection and send Day 13 Blog all be it some 12hrs late.

Saw another Eagle type bird going through Kilmartin Glen..took a snap but its too far away and looks like a sparrow so didn't include it.


Stopped for lunch by Loch and had my now customary Scotch, pie, millionaire shortbread, banana milk shake and Mars bar for lunch.

Arrived in Oban about 3pm, checked in Youth Hostel and now going to hit town...no beer yet ?
