Aye will do it when I get a proper internet connection. Day 2 is familiar, but day 1 is going across Perthshire through aberfeldy and down the side of loch Tay and out at killin. Then onto mallaig and ferry to Skye.
Excellent! Glad you are coming along Ali
Thought I had put these up but day 1 map here
Day 2 map https://maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?ms...05744,3.911133
On day 1 I need to sort out which ferry crossing we need to take. I propose a 10am start and the total drive time I think to Mallaig will be 5 hours give or take. With lunch and various photo/toilet stops I would add another hour and a half which takes us to around 4.30pm. The sail times from Mallaig to Armadale are;
Depart Mallaig 16:40 Arrive Armadale 17:10
Depart Mallaig 18:00 Arrive Armadale 18:30
So, the questions is - do we have a leisurely drive with lots of stops and book the 6pm ferry, or do we get a wriggle on and book the half four ferry? Bear in mind we need to arrive half an hour before sailing time.

Alex, how long do you reckon the drive is after the ferry? Assuming it's an hour, we wouldn't get to the hotel until 19.30, if we got the later ferry. That could seriously impinge on Mom's drinking time. I would rather start at 9.30 and get the earlier ferry, than incur Mom's wrath......lol
haha, maybe you're right. Start at 9.30 and aim for the 4.40pm ferry. Once you're off the ferry you're looking at around 40 mins to Plockton. So the 4.40pm one should see us in the boozer by 6pm. Happy days
Firstly I/we agree that the earlier ferry is best
Secondly I WILL get my 'fingeroot' & get us booked when I'm off next week

No Applecross????Or the Coast road off the main road to Mallaig B8008?????
or is this as rough as the Premier Club Social Club in Sunderland
Mini as it was. As it is. As it always will be. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, it's up to you to decide if it counts!
