Me, Carol, Morna and maybe Boyd are planning to take the five ferries route starting from Ardrossan on the 9.45am ferry.

 

The route goes from Brodick to Lochranza to Clonaig to Tarbet to Portavadie to Colintraive to Rothesay to Wemyss Bay and is a bit of a classic. Although appox 51miles is hilly in places and an all day trip to include the ferries.

Would be suitable for early retired, pensioners, students, teachers etc and anyone on holiday from work like me  .

 

Others are welcomed to join us

A good day out, but not quite what was planned. Four of us pushed hard to get up to Lochranza in time for the ferry, only to find that the ferry had broken down and a replacement was going to take some time to get there (if it ever did), so we decided to carry on round Arran. We stopped at Shiskine Golf Club for a good lunch and some relief from the southerly breeze,  before heading back round to Brodick.

 

The one good point was that Calmac took our complaint on board - they should not have sold us Five Ferries tickets at Ardrossan because the Lochranza ferry had broken down the previous day - since they refunded the tickets and gave us complimentary tickets to get back to Ardrossan, which paid for a beer at Brodick golf club before we left the island.
