halfway up the big climb of the day....











after climbing 970 feet you are rewarded with amazing views over towards Isle of Bute, Firth of Clyde and north Kintrye....











Lochranza Campsite - Isle of Arran

A lovely peaceful campsite on the North of the Island next to the small village of Lochranza. This is an excellent base for some great coast or hill walking all within reach of the site without the need to drive anywhere.

The village and surrounding hills are home to some interesting locals too.......

drive around the Isle of Arran

it is about a 60 mile round trio to drive around the Isle of Arran coast road. I only stopped a couple of times so not really got many pics

in these you can see Ailsa Craig, Holy Island and Brodick Castle
