al yuille Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 Posting early for this as it is a full day out. 0830 club rooms for 1000 ferry to Dunnon. Early lunch at Portavadie. 1245 ferry to Tarbert. Ride to Campbeltown down east Kintyre for 1700 ferry to Ardrossan. Arr Ardrossan 1935. Option for train, pick up or ride home in near midsummer light. Most will know the route as far as Tighnabruaich. The ride down east Kintyre is lumpy with a few steep ramps and stunning view over Kilbrannan sound to the west coast of Arran. Keep your eyes peeled and you will probably see PMcD over there ! A full day out but plenty of time for this so no need to pace needn't be high - all welcome. Johnstone - Gourock. 20. Miles Dunnon - Portavadie. 30 Tarbert. - Campbeltown 40 Ardrossan - Johnstone. 20 Roberto, Darryl Gunson, Iain67 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chung ? http://www.mapmyride.com/gb/dunoon-sct/kilberry-loop-route-21540598 Al & Greg, The new route looks fine with me, lots of new roads for me so all good! I will most likely drive & drop the car off at Bishipton, then ride to Gourock to keep the km not too crazy & be home before mid-night :-) Also, maybe an earlier start like 9,30am ferry? Maybe .............. Cheers Chung Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
