Active Travel on Islay. Fantastic wide segregated shared use path. Can you imagine if every country road looked like this? Absolute game changer. https://t.co/Je2uprAec7
Sorry guys but this is not a national cycle route. Six miles along the A83 to Tarbert. Deeply unpleasant #NCN78 #Unaccompanied12YearOldMyArse #5GoMadOnFerries https://t.co/LjkhvFud0l

An icecream shop with its own cargobike, and cycle parking and a toucan crossing directly outside! Contrary to the arrow on the signal pole, the John Muir Way heads up the side street next to the shops.
Pathetic signage at junction of Balloch to Tarbet and route to Helensburgh, at Arden Roundabout, plus no safe road crossing of A82. Imagine if signage of junctions on the A82 was like this!

Road sign combining A road signs with Sustrans NCN route signs with helpful distance figures. What it doesn't say is that the 34 miles to Lochgilphead on the NCN78 is the scenic way - via the A83 it's less than half that.
