From Dumfries onwards we had the most wonderful ride through evening sunshine along deserted lanes to the remote village of Moniaive, complete with highland cattle, and then a superb hill section to the tiny YHA at Kendoon in the middle of nowhere. In the last hour we literally saw 1 van and 1 bicycle! We are the only ones staying tonight and were greeted on arrival at 8.45pm with beers! The location is stunning and it all seems a bit like a well-kept secret. We covered 100 miles today. Up at 6am for the ride to get the Arran ferry at Ardrossan.

It takes more than that to have "Dangerous" in front of your name. :-) You need to fall off whilst stood on your crossbar doing stupid tricks doing 30mph down a hill.

Simon, How's the knee? What a disappointment. Are you rejoining? If not, you should head up there in the car for the final couple of days with your good wife. You could walk and take lots of photies. Chris H
Yes, I have a train ticket for tomorrow to travel from Chorley to Fort William and then I'll ride down to Corran Ferry to meet the guys.
The knee is enjoying the rest but I'll have to ride later today before I can make a final decision on whether to travel back to Scotland with the bike. The car might be an option as we're booked in to B&Bs anyway.
cheers
S.
