Hi all
I am looking to do the Loch and Glens route in May 2015 travelling from Inverness to Glasgow (or the other way) its about 220 miles so I thinking about adding a bit more on to make a week out of it (live in Oxford)
Did JOGLE in 2012 so I like to idea of maybe travelling through Prestwick and New Galloway following route 7 to Carlisle. This looks interesting and I wondered if anyone has cycled this route.
Would appreciate any advice or comments
Regards
Mike
Loch and Glens route plus a bit more ?
Re: Loch and Glens route plus a bit more ?
I've done both North and South sections of the lochs and glens route. I thoroughly enjoyed both. Highlights in the south included glentrool forest offroad. Like all sustrans routes I use it as a basic guide and then adapt it to suit my cycling and timetable. The only bit I found a bit dull was the flat bit around Annan and Gretna North of the solway.

Not what you are planning but this is a mostly off-load alternative which my brother did: http://www.crazyguyonabike.com/doc/13830

THe other option would be some time from Fort William meandering around local routes to Oban
