Arran - Anti Clockwise circular 27/11/2012
Back to Arran on my day off. Decided to cycle around it again but this time the opposite way. - got to Brodick just before 11am and decided to head up the way, towards Corrie then Lochranza and the big 2 mile hill.
Cracking run down the other side into Lochranza but the breaks were on cause of the ice lol. - I wasn't falling !!
Was a beautiful day for the run. Although very cold. Back of Arran is pretty flat and I could remember a few land marks from the Feb 2012 run.
Got to Blackwaterfoot around 3pm, 38 miles in. Stopped for some lunch-Then onwards towards Whitting bay and the killer fuckin hills. A treble back to back. - it broke me. I won't kid you on ha.
By now it was starting to get dark as I entered Whitting Bay. And clearly I wasn't making the 1640 Ferry so thought I'm stopping. - 2 hot coffees and a chocolate sugar rush, I was on my way, up to Lamlash and the last 3 miles uphill into Brodick. - missed ferry by 40 mins.
So went for a beer and chilled. Run - 57 Miles. 4 hrs 54 mins. Very very cold FEET !
Great run. And a defo harder route lol

I did those hills in a car a couple of weeks ago, and I struggled in that!
