September 2021
My first bike tour longer than a week, and also my first time in Scotland.
My route took me from Dumfries up through the Galloway Forest to Ayr, where i crossed over to Aran, and then onto Argyle. Working my Way North To Oban I took a ferry over to Mull, and then onto Morvern, finishing in Fort William.
I was introduced the joy of taking a bike on a ferry, and the stunningly beautiful variety of landscapes in Scotland . Plenty of rain and long climbs, and my first encounter with Midgies. Towards the end i started to “get” bike touring, in the sense that i realised how far you could go just one a bike, and how much freedom it offered.
