GETTING SOME MILES IN THE OLD LEGS! (hiking preparation) - I catch Calmac to Cumbrae and Millport

This walk is part one in three planned walks this summer. Great Cumbrae is officially 'easy', with a 'moderate' and 'hard' coming in the next six weeks. I catch a Calmac ferry to Great Cumbrae and walk around the island, walking through Millport and seeing Little Cumbrae Island.

    Simply lovely! Just surprised that there weren't more hikers along the route. All those pretty flowers to keep you company. Certainly was a great walk especially without any of those pesky automobiles. And the weather was very amenable as though specially ordered 👌.

    Used to live on Largs when I was a kid in the 70s and we often got taken round Cumbrae on the back of bikes by our parents. You hired them I Millport. In those days you could get the Keppel over to Millport and then they built the ferry slipway that is used now.

    What a wonderful hike this is and such beautiful scenery. I didn't see many happy faces among the cyclists as they seemed so intent on cycling and not so much on the scenery. I think you may have stumbled upon a little trist in those berries lol! Berry suspicious me thinks.

    Fab video as always. I have timetable and hiking challenge for you: Get one of the 2 buses per day from Oban (will it turn up?) north to Appin (look out for the castle use in Monty Python). Walk to the little ferry at Port Appin and cross to Lismore, then walk Lismore to the other port at Achnacroish and ferry back to Oban. What could possibly go wrong and might you get marooned on the island?! There is a cafe on the island as your reward.

    I did this on bike back in my university days when I spent a week on the island studying marine biology. We were there on the last week of August when they had their wild west themed festival in Millport. Beautiful island but sadly I've yet to return.

    Great views, great home made catering, not too sure about the distance walked, currently on 18K steps for today in the East Midlands heat (keeping law and order on a football pitch - slowly) this morning. Hope you get more suitable weather for the next walks - more railways though please.

    The Victorians came into Millport Pier or Keppel Pier on paddle steamers and steam ships, so wouldn't have been walking from the slipway. The slipway only dates from the introduction of car ferries. That may be why there is no pavement on the east side
