Otley W Yorks/Clitheroe Area Click It

We had a cracking time, lovely weather, much much better than forecast.

And had lunch at the highest pub in Britain.

Awwww you're making me sick now!

Not only have you got cracking roads up there, That looks like perfect diving weather and sea state to me - makes me wish I was up the Sound of Mull or out at Coll & Tiree, or even more so down at Southend nr Campbeltown!
Just mentioning Inverary makes me 'Home' sick, no I'm not Scottish, but would move to the West coast tomorrow if I got chance.

Oh well, roll on August hols, mmmm fresh Scallop Lobby Crab and perhaps Cray!

Might see if wor lass will let me bring Storm up this year. Mind you that's a mighty long drive for her with the (Sorry Tim) caravan in tow and one major elbow numbing, wrist shattering ride for me on the Storm. Brilliant roads down Kintyre though.

Just love that sign at Dumbarton that says Campbeltown 125 miles and Southend's another 11 on top of that!

Good old western ferries. Still to meet someone who sails calmac on that route.

,,i think you know the roads aboot here better than me

Aye,your right,great roads,but did see a bit of police presence,and that was us avoiding Loch Lomond and going by Gourock-Dunoon ferry.
Would agree aboot Mull of Kintyre,great main road,and wee one up other side towards Carradale aint bad either

Lots o bikes at Inveraray.
Was tempted to drop into the Loch Fyne Oyster bar for some shellfish,....but instead had fish n chips in Largs....as ye do,,whether ye need them or not

Hey Rich,,
good thing with the Western Ferries is that you go into the wee shop n get half price tickets, Â£3.80 each way for bike plus rider,,cars roughly twice that.
Not bad at that me thinks

Dont panic, I know all about the wee shop
