Arrochar

[mike g]

So,
will be doing a UK trip this year, and mates booked us into Arrochar for 5 nights, so we have 4 days out riding around the area.
Any recommendations on roads not to miss, or where we need to worry about the plod?
should i take thermals?
cheers

You are in a good location for some cracking roads............ if the weathers ok that is.
A83- Arrocher to Inverary
A819- Inverary to Dalmally
A85- Oban to Tyndrum
are my favorites

thanks for that - still finalising routes up and down to the smoke, but helpful to have some ideas for the 4 days we've got up there (weather permitting)!

All great roads - Inverary to Dalmally exceptionally good.

Also, do the loop from Arrochar / Inverary / Lochgilphead / Oban / Connel Bridge / Glencoe / Tyndrum / Dalmally / Inverary / Arrochar - if you get dry roads you'll love it.
