This morning I went for run round Loch Awe on the SV. I was up early (by my standards) Sunrise in Glasgow today was 4:31 am and by half seven when I got up it was like mid-day. I'm going have to get blinds or heavier curtains!

| Inveraray on Loch Fyne on the way there |
 |
| I found this splendid old road sign. I hadn't seen it before because I usually ride round the loch in the opposite direction. |
 |
| The road is mostly single track so you can't go fast and have to keep a close look out for oncoming traffic. Luckily the road is very quiet. |

| Looking north across the loch to Ben Cruachan (left, I think) |
 |
| I took a walk to Finchairn Castle on the banks of the loch. There's not much left of it. |
 |
| Foxgloves at the castle |
 |
| I stopped for small picnic with this view to the north of the loch |
Beautiful. The old motorway sign is really cool. I wonder if they still ban vehicles holding more than 15 persons.
ReplyDeleteYou'd be very unwise to take a large vehicle down that road but there are no modern signs banning then or even as a warning. The UK has many narrow and winding old roads and trucks are often stuck in them - more so now when drivers follow sat nav instructions. This one is typical

Some areas have started putting up signs telling truck drivers not to follow their sat navs: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/6959057.stm
