24hrs in Millport, Isle of Cumbrae
I decided to take up Alan's offer and visit Millport again, this time taking the bike. As I was off Thurs and Friday, I thought well why not no plans as such.
I took the car up to Largs and parked up, removed the bike from the boot and it started pissing down. At which point I growled and thought Í wont be beat..''
I had a nosey around Largs for an hour or so. Up by Nardini's and cycled along the sea front. The condition of the path is shocking. Clearly it needs a lot of work done.
I bought my ticket and got the 1pm Ferry over. Only takes 15 mins or so, and by this time the weather was pretty SHIT. I was drookit.
I disembarked and cycled the 3 miles or so into Millport, and went up to Bells flat to see if he was in. He was supposed to be working but was sitting on his fat arse watching the snooker.
We caught up for a bit then he decided to go and grab his bike and we went a dauner aboot. By this time the weather was a lot brighter. We went down to the mooring area as he wanted to check his Dad's boat. Everything was the way it should be. I then decided to do my run around the small island. Its only about 10 miles. In the summer it is smart, with some great views, but yesterday it was wet miserable, windy, cauld and hail stains!. - But I loved every minute of it. Overall I did 15 miles, my first real time out on bike this year.
Later that day we had a bit to eat then went out and shot some pool and had a couple beers. And a Jura or 2. Friday I was up sharp and headed back out on bike and went to get Ferry back.
A short visit, with no real expense, shame weather was crap....
Next time Ill stay longer!
