This pic should've been in yesterdays blog entry - but its here - its the oldest Post Office anywhere ever and its in Sanquhar ..
Although the wind was still blowing into my face, as the distance today was short it wasn't too much of a problem.
Dog faced sheep almost distracted me ..
It was a race to catch the afternoon ferry to Brodick on Arran from the mainland at Ardrossan in Ayrshire. Did this okay with the only problem being navigating the final few miles around Irvine, Stevenston and Saltcoats.
Exciting to catch the Ferry, and made more so as I met up with a couple of other touring cyclists both heading across to Arran and beyond to tour the Inner Hebrides. Had an great chat on the ferry, swapping notes on tearoom stops in particular !

Me on Ferry trying not to look too bush-whacked ..
Ferry at Arran ..
Ferry dropped us off in Brodick and it was a short ride to my accommodation. The other tourers sped off to elsewhere on the Island.
Pic, I think, of 'The Calf', the biggest hill on Arran ..
