Couold you send me an email please to tombarden (at) hotmail.co.uk Thanks Tom |

I was out to enjoy the trip so did it over 2 days, spending the night in a hostel in Tyndrum which is about halfway. You get a great downhill run for several miles from Crianlarich to somewhere near the top of Loch Lomond and then it's pretty flat all the way with a cycle track from Tarbet to Balloch. I might attempt the trip in one day this summer. As far as continuing the trip to London goes I wouldn't have a clue. I suppose you could continue on to Glasgow and plan a route from there or go over Erskine Bridge and meet up with cycle route to Ayr and beyond. |
