After a calm wander in and around the
Cathedral of the Isles, the smallest cathedral in Britain (doesn't this make Millport a city?), we left Cumbrae and headed back to Largs on the ferry. Then came the hardest part of this trip, the six miles along the coast road to Wemyss Bay. We survived that scary trip and crossed over to Rothesay on the Isle of Bute.
Tired out from yesterday's 38 miles, we pottered north to Port Bannatyne, looked for my friend's boat, 'Jumblie'. Not there so he must be sailing, which is a lovely thought. We've had grand times in these waters and I look forward to more of them next year.

| Bikes on the train back to Glasgow - islands all biked! |

| Last ferry of the project |
Back to the island-biking. After a bit of biking along the shore and marvelling at the number and size of the YES signs, we headed back through Millport for a final food stop at the charming '
Pier at Craigmore'. Then we retraced our steps, so to speak, to the ferry with the wind behind us, train home and that's the end of that biking challenge. Bring on the next one!
