BrillJeanLuc said:Here is the Calmac Timetable for your route. Quite often you can turn up and go on a lot of the crossings, and Scotland is normally only really busy in late July / August. However, I should give Calmac a call - they are very helpful and friendly. You can navigate to the contact page from the links at the top of the timetable.

A great off topic thoughHampshireman said:We just rolled up and on, but in some haste trying to escape the weather a few years back.
We were in Bluebell our 1973 T2 VW. Had only one night on a lochside site in the Cullin?? foothills with a big pub/hotel across the road. It blew a hoolis and madam took fright at the way we were swaying, with the pop up roof acting sail like. I finally dropped it in the middle of the night and all the canvas was squeezed and of course dripped all round the van. Then it was towels to stem the tide.
It was just as bad the next morning, so we fled the island and drove to Lothian before we got sunshine to dry out.
Sorry, bit off topic, but ah! memories.

I envy your past success. Never managed the Cuillin ridge (nor indeed any of the tops). Best we managed was Loch Coruisk to Camasunary via "The Bad Step" and Mary says she'll never do it again! Climbed Ben More on Mull last year though, via the A'Chioch ridge - stunning! This year we spent the first week of May in the far north west (Scourie etc) and it pixxxd down and gales were up to 70 mph. Hope you have better weather.Wupert said:Done booked on the 11.45 Mallaig - ArmdaleWupert said:A great off topic thoughHampshireman said:We just rolled up and on, but in some haste trying to escape the weather a few years back.

Havnt been to Skye since 1973 when I did the Skye ridge I'm wondering where all those years have gone.
If I can get up to one of the corries these days I'll consider it an achievement
