Fun day out with the Observer. We were meant to join another larger group but he reckoned the weather wasn't suitable for todays lesson so we went our own way. I can now overtake .

Lunch at the harbour was different, not sure I'm a mussels fan

If you like your seafood the traditional way, covered in batter and accompanied copiously with chips, , I can highly recommend the originally named Oban Fish restaurant. On the main drag on your left as you come into the town from the Connel direction. No pre-cooked stuff, all done fresh when you order, and in Gordy's bikers guide to Scotlands best chippies, holding 2nd plaice

I like the stall on the pier,with the muckle oak tables. Which the owner tells me are going into his dining room when he retires.We will be there inSept. when we head south again.

We will also try Gordy's choice.

The new tables are the biz, apparently the timber lay in the owners yard for 10 years before being sorted and taken to the pier. Shame he's sold the Seafood Temple restaurant, it was a gem. His mate who cooked the mussels for me said he felt he was working extra hours just to keep the VAT man sorted. Not what he wanted to be doing at his age.
My tip for bike parking.
Sneak down the pier side of the railway track and you can squeeze the bike in beside the restaurant bins

We will be there on thur.8th Sept. The company i work for has a salmon processing factory at South Shian.So i will visit there and see friends then down to Oban for tea and tabnabs on the pier. Then on to Rockvilla,Loch Carron.I'll remember your parking tip Gordon.
