I have no idea whether it is any good - but it had a large puddle in the middle after I left.
Was it the one in A? If so you're lucky they'd stopped. You could've been killed. I'm still chewing the meal I had last year. Likewise for the first one in Strontian. The Ben View in Strontian is OK and the pub in Salen serves excellent food. Don't know about Ardgour and Kilchoan, though there's a good caff in the community centre at Kilchoan.

I stopped there (Loch Sheil Hotel?) for a can of coke and a bag of crisps. It looked "dodgy"
The other one was this one:

Great!
FWIW I thnk it's got a bit dull lately - It's felt like a group of herd beasts near a volcano - edgy but no-one knows why. I reckon it was ACF errupting....

What were you doing down there, that must've been a there and back journey, because there's no way out but the ferry from there.
OK, my mistake, it must have been the rain
I have just checked my route sheet and it WAS the one we stopped at for soup, and the place we stopped for coke and crisps was Lochailort. We did not go to the one I put a link to The best place we stopped was the bunk house just north of Onich - we got 5 hours sleep before setting off again
We are planning on riding the route again this year at some point - I shall warn the others of rampaging horses (and fire engines).

To get back to the original post, I think unfortunately Crackle has a point

Well done Punky, I'd quite forgotten what I'd posted. It has though hasn't it. I thought maybe I was imagining it but I'm not. I think CC needs to diversify and encourage more cycling related posts, more about why we do what we do, that would take up the slack a bit. I expect to see lots of pics to accompany your account of the Amsterdam ride.

Being honest and on topic
, I had been thinking about buggering off for a while as I thought it had become a bit "similar" and had lost a bit of spark. There is not too much cycle related stuff here which interests me - I sometimes commute but I have nothing to moan about so am discounted automatically from "Commuting" ; I tend to ride audax events and I would just confuse bonj even further if I posted about audax (and I reckon it would be a one man thread anyway); so I tend to stick to blethering in the cafe. I could speak about kit and stuff I suppose but that seems to have died a bit of late as well...

It's the time of year, last season is drifting into the mists of time, the new season is upon us and sitting in a darkened study next to a bottle of sherry is losing its appeal. We're itching to get out on our bikes. I reckon.
