We hadn't realised when we arranged this trip but the Ayr airshow was planned for the day we were going to Ayr. With a dangerous building at Ayr railway station meaning a limited service we re-routed to Gourock, a nice simple 35 min jaunt from Glasgow.
We headed down the coastal cycle route, this is sometimes on pavements making it slow going. We stopped at Nardini's in Largs and enjoyed their ice-cream. At Ardrossan we found that one of the ferries was off resulting in long queues of cars, luckily for us there was plenty of room for bikes so we got straight on the ferry for Brodick, Arran.
The island was much quieter, in fact I only realised how noisy the day had been when the noise stopped.
A picturesque climb up Glen Sannox took us to the lovely hostel at Lochranza.
