all ferry prices quoted are single journey for one bike and rider. additional charges apply for passengers
The whisky visits arent compulsary! and you would get 2 days each on Islay & Mull to explore the area if you've seen enough distilling!
I have a couple of (none BM) friends interested and due to Calmac restrictions on numbers we could be restricted to around 8 bikes on some crossings.

Bugga, finishes on Farmyard w/end!
Does this fit in with Calmac's discounted island hopping?
I would def go camping nice days to keep the cost down; save the hostels for wet days.
And all assuming I gotta job???

Well I wudnt go to farmyard if ya paid me lol sort of fits in with obe of calmacs offers but only saves 5.65 lol

Damn that sounds like fun, its a shame I am already completely wall to wall with stuff that month.
kwakgirl
lol and thats why its the best time for me to go less bikes buzzing about coz theyre all at the farmyard or recovering from the TT excesses. :)
