Our Lochs and Glens South Itinerary outlines our major summer tour for 2017. It is, as usual, our annual group cycle tour with some of our friends from Stockport Community Cycling Club. This year the team will be Andy, Sarah, Andy S, Neil, Des, Ian, and Tracey.

Sustrans says ‘there are lochs and glens, plus miles of coasts and forests on this part of National Route 7 north of Carlisle. It takes you along the beautiful Solway Coast, over the hills of the Galloway Forest, and to the beaches of Ayrshire, before heading into Glasgow.’ It’s going to be another great tour!
