The Machrie, Machrahanish and Machrahanish Dunes Early Autumn 2020

[Captainron]

So really crap then

It was awful Anne. We had a shocking time. Never going back

 

[Paperboy]

What time is the round at the Machrie on the first day please, as I need to get on and organise the ferries.

Apologies it was all Jon’s fault after his North Berwick voucher so it was only a 3 ball trip plus we latched onto various secret contacts ?

Played The Old Course twice just to make sure it’s not a good as they make out on here ?

Dumbarnie Links twice just to make sure it was a great course and I can confirm it’s superb ?

And added in one round at the dukes course and one round at St Michaels course.

Like I say it was only average ?

Sounds awful mate

Ferry co seem to have changed procedure - if you haven't booked, you currently cannot. So need to keep an eye on it

Evening all

The trip is still going ahead as planned. Will send everyone an email tomorrow ?

If anyone wishes to join us please let me know.

Equally if anyone wishes to withdraw I have no issues at all and you will receive a full refund from me.

I think we all need a cracking trip to some awesome courses.

Hope this won't cause issues as we haven't booked ferries yet.

We’re able to book further ahead for freight still. i think it’s more a case of them limiting booking windows as they have less staff working.

I had a call from CalMac today to inform me that the return ferry on the 2nd from Port Askaig to Kennacraig has now been brought forward by 1hr, thus the check-in closes at 16.30 and sails at 17.00hrs.

There is no change, currently, to the outbound from Kennacraig to Port Ellen on the 1st, being check-in closes at 06.30 and sails at 07.00hrs.

Happened to see that from tomorrow, 22nd July, CalMac are taking bookings for sailings in a rolling 7 week window. So there's still some time to go for any new bookings in October but it's improving.

 

[Captainron]

I have spoken to Cal Mac and they have confirmed that there is still plenty of space on the sailings to and from Islay on the dates that we would all be travelling.

Just have to wait for those dates to be available to book.

Thanks for checking into this - was my concern, so I’ll crack on with booking flights/hire car

Cheers Cam.
If I'm reading this 7 week booking thing right, looks like we can book from August 13th.
I think ?

That's a real shame but understand your decision.
