Oban to Glasgow


have you got a cycle reservation!?


to get one person and one bicycle from Oban, scotland to Liverpool, England, you will need....

Fin

On a train finally.

Trains and bikes

The train we needed to get back to Glasgow refused us bike
reservation codes. This ruins everything. New tickets for Liverpool
and London. The amount of money we've spend rebooking train tickets
over these silly codes doesn't bear thinking about. This has become an
expensive trip.

Hostel Oban

Enjoying a game of chess with a glass of Caol Ila 12 year old.

Oban

After a morning cycling in the pouring rain, Oban. Another (Diageo
owned) distillerey, with a distinctly commercial feel, and a hostel
bed as a welcome change from the cocoon.

Isle of Lismore ferry port and transport hub




Lismore

Had a terrible time on the island of Lismore only punctuated by a nice dinner. Bother!

Memories

We visit the holiday destination of young Lucas.

Cruachan power station

Dalmally

Camped over in Dalmally, next to a shinty pitch. Very small town, not much there at all.(hence no photo)

B816

When it rains it pours!

It has been raining for 8 hours now and your intrepid explorers are confined to their cocoon like tents.
Water is slowly making its way into the tent from below! Sneaky!
