Then its a right onto the A886 and back to the B836 and back to Dunoon - the rest of the party had let me know thay were heading to Loch Doon to wild camp there for the last night, so I would make my way there to join them. Will make a point to spend a bit more time in this area next time

Soa ferry back across to Gourock

Off the ferry and followed the main road south to the other side of Ayr, then inland to Dalmellington and the A713 to the entrance to the Loch. Another part of Scotland I had never been to - a very nice area and alot bigger than i was expecting. The rest of the group had already set up camp, opposite the ruins of Loch Doon castle

So Sunday, our last day. It was another wet night, but as luck would have it, the rain passed by the time we were ready to leave. From Dalmellington we took the B741 to New Cumnock, then the A76 to Sanquhar for a breakfast stop. Oplo took the lead from here and it was a left into the B797, to Leadhills then right on the B7040, crossed the A74 and ended up in Moffat for coffee - a great route

After Moffat it was back to Cairnryan, via the A701 and A75, with a detour to Portpatrick for a look around - a nice wee spot

1390 miles by the time i got home & thanks to having nowhere booked in advance we managed to avoid most of the rain during the week.
Yet another great Scottish trip , with some new areas explored.-Hopefully Spain in 2021 & if not - Scotland is never too far away
