| Cycle Steps | |
| Using 5 ferries, you need to buy 2 Hopscotch tickets. Hopscotch 4 (£7.95) and 5 (£9.40) You can get a timetable from the Cal Mac website to plan your ferry crossings. The hardest part of the route is from Colintraive to Portavadie which is about 20 mls and pretty hilly. Other than that the route is not overly steep but the key is to give yourself time to meet your crossings. This route can only be tackled in the summer as the Cloanaig to Lochranza ferry only runs from end March to end Sept.

| I would recommend doing this route in a clockwise direction (Ardrossan first) as the ferries are more frequent towards the end of the run and also less likely to be cancelled by inclement weather due to them being further inland if the weather turns during the day. great cycle though! | ||
