Do not book your ferry just yet as ferries and trains may change times. But be advised trains in Scotland get booked early and quickly with bikes.

We will be catching the ferry from Belfast to cairnryan then the train from cairnryan up to the start of the NC500. I want to do this before the tourists start coming as well as the midgies. The train journey itself is beautiful and we will be in the special cyclists carriages that are provided just for cyclists from Glasgow up. This spectacular cycle ride has gradients that are for experienced cyclists and a good level of fitness is required.
