Scott D Posted September 8, 2003 Report Share Posted September 8, 2003 The Rothesay event clashed on the original proposed date (26th-27th Sep). By this date summer will be well gone, the light will be starting to fade.. a great time for an end of season jaunt o'er to Arran. There doesn't seem to be any events this weekend, so hopefully there will be a good club turnout. Suggestion is to stay in either Brodick or Lochranza on saturday night, allowing us to cycle around the island on sat, and do the 2 string roads on sunday before catching the ferry back. There is also the option for people who dont want to stay to return on the saturday, or take it easy and avoid the strings on sunday and meet us at the ferry later. The Arran brewery at the foot of Goatfell is definitely worth a visit My preference is to stay in Brodick, giving us the option of leaving all luggage at B&B / hostel on arriving by ferry on sat, and cycling without luggage on the sunday before picking it up just before the ferry departs. Also because Mac's Bar (attached to the Brodick hotel on the main stretch) is very lively, usually has live music, and serves the fantastic Arran Blonde beer on draught! Just the tonic for tired legs. A popular alternative is to stay at the Lochranza youth hostel, and is very cheap and cheerful. Anyone interested? What's your preference for accomodation?

Scott D Posted September 8, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2003 Event 264 - Scottish Olympic TT Championship (misnamed as per SCU handbook) on that weekend is actually the Tour of The Trossachs TT. Is anyone intending to do this who would also like to go to Arran? Still hoping to get this trip organised Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
