west coast Scotland cycle trip

[Big T]

What are the roads like

Mostly single track with passing places, especially on Mull. Annoying when you have to keep pulling over to let cars and coaches through. Fantastic scenery made up for it though.

Bottom right of the reply window, "upload a file" - it will give you the option to get the pictures from your hard drive.
