I’ve wakened up to worse Saturday mornings.
With a good weather forecast on Friday, I made a late decision to head SW.
My well used Booking DotCom found me a cheap bunk in Sandend, a place we stopped in once upon a time while lodging down that way for short break.
Only a nasty wee sunny shower around 5pm dampened the roads for while, but provided one of the biggest and best ever rainbows.
A nice room. Nice food. Nice beer. What’s not to like.
Had to visit the lighthouse. And cafe. Then headed for the forest road to Straiton.
Even the main road past Cairnryan was quiet and very enjoyable.
I shouldn’t advertise it
but the A714 and the road from Straiton to Cumnock are now on my list of favourites.
The A702 down the valley has been on the list for years of course.
ps - this week’s forecast is dismal
