I've noticed a wee tarmac road linking Dalmally with Loch fyne which goes via Monument Hill, but can anyone tell me if its tarmac all the way?
Don't fancy any hike-a-bike with the racing bike!
Loch Fyne?????
Just been looking on wheresthepath.com. The satellite imagery doesn't look promising once you get into the forest clearing area.
*Ahem* Loch Awe... 😳
Was thinking so fast I was one loch ahead...
It doesn't look promising on geograph either, except for a photo showing a forest track joining the military road, with a gate on it. I'm thinking they wouldn't put a gate on a forest road joining another forest road...
This bit?

Thanks mr overshoot, good articles!
Unfortunately "[i]vast majority[/i] on a quiet tarred road" and "partly resurfaced" don't fill me with confidence, I'm going to be on a 23c head down racing bike with 100 miles to cover so not sure I want to take any chances.
I might just inspect the road from the other end to see how it finishes, will know for future reference.
Probably best not tempt fate then, I did it a few years back but that was on a HT so the surface wasn't a deciding factor. That and once I reached the edge of Loch Awe I was only a mile from home 🙂
