Thursday Ferry gets in to Troon about 18.30.Any locals able to give an idea if its really feasible to get to Glencoe from Troon before its too dark to find the place.Or is there anywhere closer to camp?
Yea Troon ferry is a crap time on Thur so i booked the early crossing from Belfast to Cairnryan. Its only 100 miles down the road from Troon. Shouldent imagine i will make Ullapool on Thursday. If not i may spend the night at Red Squirrel of wild camp somewhere futher north.
went past the loch weekend before last and was gobsmacked by the low level of water - I first thought that maybe the dam had sprung a leak :whistle: .Oop North John wrote:As long as it doesn't rain too much, this might be interesting to have a look at:

I was surprised to read that it was low on water, expected it to say it had overflowed and washed away some soil to show the old road etc.Steve T wrote: went past the loch weekend before last and was gobsmacked by the low level of water - I first thought that maybe the dam had sprung a leak :whistle: .
Hadn't even thought of Belfast Cairnryan :pinch: For Scotland automatically checked out Larne ferries!Mac 60 wrote:Mac 60 wrote:

Correction its only 50 odd miles from Troon so i may well make Ullapool on Thur evening. Sailing is 0730 hrs arrives Cairnryan at 0952hrs
