If you stay on the A78 from Ayr, and follow the coast through Largs, Wemyss Bay and onto Greenock , it's a much nicer ride than blagging your way through a large slice of Glasgow as you can do a short stint on the A8 to Bishopton, then pick up the old ferry road to Erskine bridge. I did this route on the way back from Inverness to Dumfries on LeJog run.

That was to inject some humor into it instead of London to New York as in "Long way round" its Rhyl to Skegness will be doing it without back up crew tho proper hard core :lol: :lol: :lol:
