Itinerary: Glasgow - Ayr - Dumfries - Glasgow
Distance: 358 kms
One more ride around Scotland!
As the end of the year gets closer my bikes rides started going South, craving for a bit more warmth - the problem is not during the day, as soon as the sun sets it gets freezing!
The original plan was to visit the Isle of Arran (close to Glasgow, can be seen on the map below on the left side of the letter "B").
When I was getting to the little town where it departs from it wasn't there anymore, so I went on with the Plan B - go South, doesn't matter where, just go!!
It's true the trip wasn't well planned but the important thing was to appreciate the nice day, it's not that frequent to find one in the weekends.
I took a friend with me, Solene!
Here are the photos
Getting to the South we got in the Galloway Forest Park, the biggest forest park in the South of Scotland, with around 300 sq miles, which means 768 sq kms.
It is known as "the Highlands in the Lownlands" because of it's rugged terrain atypical on the South of Scotland.
We stopped at Glen of the Bar.
After that there were no more stops, the smaller days don't allow rides as long as I'd like, but still it was great, the ideal day to recharge batteries :)
