This reminds me of an Arran outing some members of my Ladies group did a while back, I could not go as I was working, had not been at all then, but knew about the hills.
So a few months later I met some of the participants, asked how they got on, I was told:
"Well, we took the train to Ardrossan, then the ferry to Arran, then we started cycling. On seeing the first hill, we turned back and waited for the group in a coffee shop. All in all quite an expensive trip for coffee ..."
