Homeless Trip - Day 12

We drove back down into Largs and parked by the sea. We walked along to the pier and back then had our breakfast in the van.


We decided to take the bikes on the ferry to Great Cumbrae. It was £3.30 for the round trip, and it was quite busy, being a Bank Holiday Monday with good weather.


First we cycled a few miles south to Millport and had a stroll round the town and pier.


We saw on a map there was an inner circle road we could go on, so we started that and on the way stopped at the Cathedral of the Isles, which is the smallest in Europe.


There was a labyrinth in the grounds.


We then cycled to the viewpoint at the Glaid Stone, the highest point on the island. We had our lunch there.


We then went back down to Millport and had an ice cream. After this we completed our cycle round the island, back to the ferry.


We had decided to go north to Loch Lomond, so we drove up the coast, stopping in Greenock for some provisions.

The site we went to was Marrochy Bay near Balmaha on the east side of the loch. We have a nice grass pitch with good views.


We sat outside for a bit in the sunshine, though there were a few midges around. For dinner we had pasta and sauce with sausage.
