Waking to the view across Lochranza was a treat that now seems a million miles away, though it is really only 282.
After a mad dash over a mountain pass in the middle of the island to visit a traditional Arran sweater outlet, we made the ferry to Ardrossan with moments to spare.
Arran was good to us - beautiful weather, friendly people and magnificant views. Another mark on the map to be visited again.
Sadly, Tim's camera suffered its second fall of the holiday this morning, hitting the steel of the car deck when it fell of the saddle of the bike. Apparently, steel is far less forgiving than the granite that it had fallen onto without consequence earlier in the trip; the photos we shot from the mount on the Pan all bear the telling signs of a camera that can no longer focus.
For today at least, this made little difference as our entire day was concerned with getting down the A74 and the M6/M5 to Worcester as fast as we could.
We arrived safely with Ruth and Martin at around 19h00 to be greeted by a wonderful hospitality, a hearty meal and great company. It would be rude to type all night and not jion in...
More tomorrow - from Land's End with a little luck!
