After a hearty breakfast, including real Scottish black pudding, James and his Chief Assistant Mechanic a.k.a. Rodney fitted new brake pads on James bike and away we went for the day.
We cruised along the dual carriageway and stopped at Largs for coffee. Beautiful scenery along the coastal road up to the Western ferry at Gourock. Met Mum & Dad (armed with a very substantial packed lunch courtesy of Christine) and took the ferry to Dunoon.
We blasted around the shores of Loch Eck - roads quite flat and very smooth so we achieved an average of 20 mph. Due to swift progress we had time to stop for cream teas at a friendly post office overlooking Loch Fyne. Scenery stunning!! Managed to keep up the pace round to Inveraray where we met up with Mum, Dad, Clare and Marilyn at the George Hotel.
Inveraray is a pretty place and we enjoyed a lovely meal in the pub. Weather and roads were kind to us today - all in all a good day.... and of course the cream teas helped us to top up our energy levels!

congratulations on your progress so far - Andy and I are looking at your progress everyday and are amazed at how much you have raised so far!
Hope you're not too sore - keep going!
We look forward to seeing you both soon when you're back home,
lots of love, Ali and Andy x
It was our pleasure to feed,water & clean Iain & James. Glenmorangie is better than nasal strips as we heard nothing from James! You will be passing/stopping at many distilleries so a dram or 2 each evening should do the trick (purely medicinal, of course). We are in awe of you both, but next time you visit, try using Ryanair!
Love The Collins
