Bladnoch to Kirkcudbright.

The Bladnoch Inn doesn't offer breakfast but the landlords son had a greasy spoon street food wagon outsidd the pub his bacon roll and coffee was really welcome this morning. Today it was sunny and hot and I rode through all the countryside that Galloway had to offer, rolling countryside high moorland coniferous plantations and native woodland with bluebells in abundance. I diverted to the visitor centre at Kirroughtree for coffee and scone. There seemed to be lots of preparations for mountain bike races there. I noted that you can overnight on Forest and Land Scotland departments
car parks in a campervan. While the overall ascent today was not the highest there was one climb I would estimate as 1 in 4. Kirkcudbright is a nice little town with a river marina. The Arden House Hotel was just outside Kirkcudbright with large gardens where I could sit have a beer in the sun. The restaurant had a reduced pensioners menu quite a bargan but they didn't adjust me to show ID for my age. ☹️ !

Sanquhar to Girvan

Image
Pictures from top Girvan harbour, Girvan beach, Sanquhar former toll house, Nithsdal Hotel. On leaving Sanquhar it was dull but dry. The first 3 orx4 miles were past large slag heaps indicative of the now defunct mining industry of Ayrshire. Once onto side roads it was more rolling country and a gradual climb into the Galloway Hills. Lots of cattle and sheep and no arable makes it more scenic. All the views were obscured by low clouds and rain which eventually broke out. The small towns and villages are a bit depressing perhaps that is why my parents thought a move from Irvine to Bridgwater was a good move!! As I rode through Straiton there was a wedding being piped out of the town hall. Girvan has a long sandy beach a harbour and not much else.

Dumfries to Sanquhar.

Image
I left Dumfries in the sun but decidedly chilly. I found the attractive parts of Dumfries riding on the cycle path along the river Nith and sandstone bridge over it. Now I thought all of Scotland south of a line from Glasgow to Edinburgh was The Lowlands which obviously was a bit of Scottish irony but apparently this area of Dumfries is called the Southern Uplands which is still something of an understatement. To start off it was rolling pastures with the lumpy bits in the background however I decided to vere off my route to take in Wanlockhead the highest village in Scotland and obviously boasts the highest pub in Scotland. The pub is a shrine to Harley Davidsons and the landlord obviously an aficionado called me a fraud using an ebike to get up to his establishment?! Wanlockhead was an important lead mining centre from the 18th century to the early 20th century. The bonus was a rapid downhill ride to Sanquhar.

The last leg - Kirkcudbright to Dumfries

Image
This was a fairly straight run, in glorious weather, with some inclines and good views. Cycled through Castle Douglas which seemed a pleasant town and on into Dumfires where I picked up a puncture going through some road works less than 500 metres from my original start point where I had left my car. Then it was a case of loading my bike and driving 350 miles home. Reasonable run with a couple of coffee breaks and the usual stop start traffic for 10 miles on the M6 down to the M5 junction.
