The route will take us across the Tayinloan to Gigha ferry on the 10am sailing. We will all aim to meet on the jetty on the Gigha side where there are facilities. We will cycle up one of the new cycle paths to meet the single track road north, where we will cycle at a steady pace to the Twin beaches. We will stop as we like for photos, drinks and to admire the view.
We will the head back to the main village for some lunch with options of either the café or The Nook. You are also welcome to bring your own packed lunch if you have specific dietary requirements.
We can then either explore the south of the island, or go into Achamore Gardens (entry fee of £7.50) and return to the café for ice-cream.
We will be aiming to get the 17.30 ferry back to Tayinloan and might even fit in a short dip!
Please note that although the ride will be a steady place with plenty of stops, we will be spending a significant part of the day cycling, and you should be comfortable with this.

Gigha Adventure Day - a chance to explore Gigha, enjoy some lovely food and visit the beaches

The route will consist of surfaced trails suitable for all bikes, and single track quiet roads.

We are planning to stop for lunch at either Gigha Cafe or The Nook for a lunch break, and have afternoon ice cream before taking the ferry home. There will be plenty of time to explore and take photos.

Please bring clothing for a range of weathers, including waterproofs, sunglasses and suncream. You will need cash and card for buying food, plenty of water and snacks for the stopping points on route.

First-timers welcome!
