2 Cycle rides on Arran

9th August 2013

I also did a couple of great cycles on Arran as well as the 5 ferries.  The Ross and south loop on my own, and the west coast and the "String" with Janice and Murray.

31 miles ; 2 hours 13 minutes ; 14 miles per hour

Holy Isle, looking across from Lamlash

The climb over the Ross - climbs to 800 feet (250m) above sea level

Heading west over the middle of the Island on the Ross

Looking along the south coast towards the Ayrshire Coast - the little island of Pladda can be seen

Kildonan - on the South side of Arran - the Island of Pladda, and in the far distance Ailsa Craig, can be seen

Holy Isle as seen from Whiting Bay, on the South East corner of Arran

The second ride was across the String to Blackwaterfoot, along the west coast to Machrie, and back to Brodick; around 30 miles in total - my iPhone battery ran dry at 19 miles!
