Day 9 Cumnock to Dunoon (via ferry)

Todays route Auchinleck to Kilmarnock , Irvine, West Kilbride, Lairg then
Gourock and the ferry to Gourock
Todays mileage was only 54 miles so decided to push on ,
was dry until about 10 miles then heavy rain..all the way to Gourock, from West Kilbride
followed the coast road all the way to Gourock, long stretches along the
sea front where you are only 20 ft from the sea, can't imagine what the road would be like with a heavy sea, managed to crack on and finish with an average of 15.9 miles over 54 miles. Had a 30 minute wait for the ferry...sea was a bit choppy, and saw a dolphin on the way across. Staying at St Ives b&b on the sea front. because we had a short day on the bike, went into town and had a few pints of guinness. The views across the bay are beautiful.

elapsed mileage 54.06
elapsed time 3:23:59
avg 15.9
