Day 9: Dumfries to Brodick

85 miles today (707 miles so far)

It was particularly difficult to get going this morning, and to say goodbye to our comfy beds. Nonetheless, we managed to get away and get breakfast in before 8am, as we had a tight schedule to make it 80 miles away to Ardrossan to catch the last ferry of the day to the Isle of Arran.  Despite torrential rain all day and hilly terrain in the forest of Galloway we managed to get the miles done, and make it to Ardrossan in time for the ferry.  Whilst eating our fish supper on Arran, we experienced rain, sun and a double rainbow all the way.

Words of the day: efficient (Jim), jurassic (Tim)
