| 0km | 0km | Largs North Ayrshire | This is the start and end of the route. Although the distance is stated as 62.7 miles, you can deduct about 13 miles off the distance for ferry trips. The two longer ferry trips are on quite large ships where snacks and drinks can be purchased. Enjoy! | NNE | 13° | 2m |
| 2.18km | 2.18km | This part of the route can be quite heavy trafic, if more than one person better to ride single file. | NNW | 346° | 5m | |
| 9.71km | 7.52km | Buy a HOPSCOTCH ticket on the ferry as it is the cheapest way to do this route as it is the fare for the three ferries. The sail is about 40 minutes and is a pleasant break with wonderful views. | W | 250° | 0m | |
