An amazing adventure

Stopped for a week in my home town of Liverpool for relative's 60th birthday during ride.

Rode my Triban 500 RC bike. Chain and cassette replaced in Newquay but otherwise no problems - not a single puncture!
Rode on my own unsupported and stayed mostly in b and bs. Used mostly roads but some cycle tracks - some were good but some were terrible!

Highlights: Scotland really is the most beautiful place and on a bike you can enjoy its magic so much more.

The cycle mechanic in Newquay is brilliant. Works out of his garage and replaced my chain and cassette in just over an hour!

Low lights!: Got completely lost travelling along a canal path going to Fort Augustus. Pouring with rain and had to lift my bike over gates in the mud. Went to the Isle of Arran and the hills!! so long and steep but a beautiful place!

Overall a great adventure - but never again!
