The Isle of Skye is absolutely
worth to do a long side trip. You can go there
old-fashioned by ferry or modern by bridge, it will both
cost about 3 Pounds.
Comment Sep. 2006:
The ferry doesn't exist anymore, but now the bridge is
free.

From the peninsula Kintyre goes a
ferry to the little but beautiful Isle of Arran.
If it's windy you should be strong, because it's not
possible to fix the bike during the half hour sailing on
this open air ferry. |

Before going back home you should do
another side trip through the Glen Lowther to
the highest Scottish village, Wanlockhead. This village
is in the lowlands ! It's on a height of 1547 feet (471
m) !!! Above that there are only some little farms. |

Before starting a trip like this you
should get a new tire, you will drive more than you're
thinking about.
This trip through North
England and Scotland took me over 6.527 km !
(4,079 miles)
