Morning?!

Where tf is everybody?
Where are the usual Sungod subs?
This calls for an emergency meeting.

Coffee...

Up late, long sleep, bug still hanging around. Coffee , then more waiting to not have a cold!

I see. But @wakemalcolm failed to put the day of the week as the first word and i'll bloody tell him straight.

My Kiwi pal is back over in September and fancies a bike tour in Scotland, maybe about 250miles. We've done the Kirkpatrick C2C.
Any ideas for a route? Mainly tarmac with some gravel would be preferred.

Highlands surely? With both the English and Scottish schools off(?) the roads will be quieter and accommodation cheaper with no beer shortages.

Probably but a bit more specific 😃

I think the Arran peninsula (as suggested) going north but starting from Dunoon instead taking the ferry from Gairloch. Then west.
Maybe take advantage of prevailing westerlies at that time of year.

I did a mostly tarmac back roads with some cycleways / light gravel / old railway routes: Glasgow to Aberdeen via Lochs Lomond and Tay. Train to Glasgow, Balloch, up to Rowardennan and back, Callendar, Killin, Pitlochry, back down to Perth, Dundee and up the East coast to Stonehaven. Chickened out on last bit of A92 but poss a bit quieter now the western bypass A90 is open.

You get some lovely scenery ok not full west coast or Highlands, but easy enough to get b&bs, pubs, restaurants etc. And simple to get to and from by train with the bikes booked on. Can't remember the mileage but was 200+.
