  • Well done! I remember that ride down to Campbelltown! The series of hills which kick to the right. And the hills on the way up to Oban too.
    Graeme is a super guy. I rode quite a bit of it with him which helped me get round.

  • The bit to Campbeltown didn't take us too long compared to some, but my legs were toast after it, I looked at the profile on Google maps and it's like shark teeth, the annoying thing was as it was twisty and single track. With caravans and motorhomes booting through it was a bit stop start and we had to be careful on decents as people were driving to quickly for the road.

    I've never felt so welcomed to an arrivee, we got a cheer when we walked into the pub and Graham made us feel like champions.

    Yes, when I did it I'd just got my legs back after having a nap (on the benches in the harbour at Tarbet in early morning sun) and really attacked it and enjoyed it. Was shot again when I got to Campbelltown, though!

    Apparently it is the 'long and winding road' of the Beatles song. Linda Macartney had a place at the far end and Paul had to drive it loads of times, or something like that
