That’s the route we use A712 then A713 towards Ayr. McInroys point to Dunoon then a cross to Portavadie and ferry to Tarbert. The roads from there to Oban is a great ride. Usually call in and visit a mate on Seil. We do use Premier inns quite a bit as there are around 12 of us and they usually have decent parking. The Spoons in Oban is pretty good for its location alone.Pleasant enough as a tourist town but it does get very busy in the season. Accomodation will be expensive and other than a few cafes the old town jail and the lair of the Campbells, not a lot to be seen. If coming north on the west coast, I always suggest cutting off Inveraray etc by using the Dunoon - Gourock ferry. Have a break, enjoy the views on the ferry and then the ride north from Dunoon to Oban is wonderful.
Your pal would have an airhead and sidecar would he?That’s the route we use A712 then A713 towards Ayr. McInroys point to Dunoon then a cross to Portavadie and ferry to Tarbert.

No unfortunately he’s not a bike rider. I worked with him in the Fire Service. He’s a Sea Kayak and Munro bagging type. He built his own house on Seil when he retired. I’m hoping to go see him in spring with another ex job biker that’s having a tough time with his health soYour pal would have an airhead and sidecar would he?
