For Leg 1 we set of at 6.45 from Janice's home in Brodick, headed through the village and on the road round the north side of Brodick bay. It was quite flat for the first 8 miles, then we climbed the Corrie Hill, before hitting the big climb called the Bogaille. For over 2 miles the road climbed 500 feet through desolate open moorland, before giving us a nice 3 miles descent into Lochranza.
