We changed to go from Ardrossan the other week as that crossing was the lesser of the 2 evils regarding disruptions. Here's hoping its all good for next week !
i used the first come first served ferries at Corran and Lochaline as I did last year, no worries about missing a slot and while its a longer drive, the views make up for it. Enjoy
We're booked to sail from Oban on 6th May. Staying at Salen bay four nights. Hopefully ferries will be back to normal by then
Popular place just now! We're travelling 26th and also staying at Salen Bay. Hope you have an enjoyable and trouble free trip.
Back home from a 3 night jaunt, staying in the windiest, wettest, coldest field in Staffordshire (just outside Stoke):
Just getting to and from the shower block was a slippery mess, and a large motorhome had to be towed off its pitch this morning by the site owners, due to lack of grip! One other caravan on site. 2 cars / tents arrived last night and set up in the pishing rain, which gave us some much needed entertainment! Have to say, though, sitting in the van with Mrs.G, with the heater on, a cold beer and a good book (Mark Twain, Around the Equator), I couldn't be happier
Had some indoor respite on Tuesday at the fascinating World of Wedgewood factory tour.
Yesterday morning stayed dry long enough for a visit to Monkey Forest at Trentham:
And today we stopped off at Cotebrook Shirehorse Centre near Tarporley on the way home:

i can say Salen Bay Campsite is a windy place. Took my tent down this morning after a wet amd windy night. Hopefully you will get calmer weather then. Second stay here btw and moving to Port Nan Gael tomorrowWe're booked to sail from Oban on 6th May. Staying at Salen bay four nights. Hopefully ferries will be back to normal by then
When I used to go diving over there, we go little further north get the corran ferry really short crossing, then drive the a681 then turn onto the A684 to the lochaline ferry over to Fishnish on mull.
Corran ferry £12, lochaline ferry £3.25 per adult

Last post of this trip heading to Europort for ferry home tomorrow. Had 3 days by the river at Camping Domaine Chateau De Dieupart beautiful campsite with brand new toilet and shower facilities.
Then on to Holland to meet friends at their seasonal pitch at Recreatiepark de Meibeek near Ruurlo. On the way there ended up behind a convoy of German plated transporters a T2 a T3 and 2 T 5s added our T6 to the line for about 10k before going separate ways.
Although their vans were very shiny and our, after 3 months on the road and in need of a good wash, van was lowering the tone.
