Here’s a link if you don’t know where it is.
That’s maybe not a phrase you here very often but for most of our anniversary trip to Arran it was fantastic weather.
Couple of showers on the Sunday the 20th but nothing too onerous, followed by a gorgeous sunny Monday!
We stayed at the Auchrannie House Hotel just outside Brodick. Lovely big empty pool/sauna/steam but we also tried their Spa just across the car park which had more of the same except bigger.
Food in the Garden Restaurant at the hotel was fantastic – although a bottle of wine and some champers and a pre-dinner drink meant we were both suffering a bit on the Monday morning. Still, by lunchtime we were fit for a cycle up and round some forestry roads around the top of Brodick Castle. Hard work cycling up most of it and then down hill on very rough single track scraping past bushes. Great fun though.
I fancy ferrying up to the island at some stage and cycling round all 57 miles. Once I’m a bit fitter! Anyone fancy joining me?
Very relaxing weekend other than the exercise bit of course! Ferry there and back was great – only 50mins or so from Ardrossan.
Bought loads of cheese from the Island Cheese Company. Yum!
We’ve obviously got loadsa pictures as always, I’ll get these online when I get a mo.
Cheers,
