Not sure where you are staying but Hotel Ibis is on Junction 32/A6 and cheap. Really close to Motorway. Within in 1 mile towards Preston down A6 there a a few pubs, Black Bull is good and they will not charge you £5 a pint!

Really hope the trip goes well for everybody and initially was coming but had a flight abroad 2 days later which has now been cancelled

We are indeed at The Ibis
Great minds think alike

Thanks for the heads up on the pub side, will need some nosh ?

Decent windy conditions over the weekend, I faired quite well in them, nice prep for the trip, although the forecasts are settling down a bit, I think we might get a squeeze with the weather :unsure:

My cousin lives up there, post pics on fb most days. It’s been glorious! I’ve a feeling it won’t last... ?‍♂️

Just a heads up the early ferry from Kennacraig to Port Ellen didn't sail today, first one was 9.45 due to technical issues.
lady on the phone couldn't confirm yet if it will affect sailings tomorrow and Thursday.

Theres a service status ap you can download from calmac website.

It looks like there was an issue with a particular boat, that same boat sailed at 9.45 so it’s safe to assume that the problem was fixed
An extra sailing was laid on also

Hopefully sorted ?

Have a fabulous time.
Thanks Anne

given the situation it’s a miracle we have got this far.

Managed to get a premier inn 20 mins from Adrossan. Hopefully get across to Arran ok tomorrow.
