Heading out to the Island

Day 14.. luckily the wines at the BBQ the previous night didn't leave me too queasey the next morning and I set off further up the Nith valley. An early stop over at Drumlanrig Castle (apparently haunted by a Lady Anne Douglas who walks with her head in her hands).. see photo, and then on through kirkconnel.. into rolly farmland around Cumnock and Stair, towards the coast. The question for the day was, whether I would make it to Ardrossan in time to catch the ferry that night to the Island of Arran. Thanks to some pretty good winds I made it in time for the 6.00pm crossing. After boarding the ferry, I planned to sit down for a moment, then go up in top to look around and take photos coming in to the Island. Unfornuately I must have fallen asleep as I was woken by the speaker telling us to disembark.. oh well, a good nap. Great Island and nice picnic on the beach before bed. A long day 115km
