Well I'm sitting with a pint watching the advancing night across the bay. What a view! It's been a long day. After the highs of Kintyre, the last 3 hours felt like hard work. Not helped by having to turn back at one point because the road became a private road for access only. I'm not 100% convinced that somebody didn't just put that sign up to cut down on traffic passing his mansion!

I've realised today that my perspective on road quality has changed. I'm game for anything now. And there are roads which on day one I would have called 'rough' which I am now relieved to find! Basically anything which is 75% paved is an A road to me now! I also realised that I got it wrong earlier. Tomorrow is another tough day. The next day is the easier one. I may try to camp tomorrow if I can find a suitable spot. Not always easy on a bike. But I've carried this bloody tent for two trips now and I want to use it!
