Full of what?
As Iain said, you'll be missed Al.

Stu will probably top it up with tea.
Thanks Pete, I was very much looking forward to this, but something of an unseen personal problem has manifested itself. I'll hopefully get to another social in the near future.
Alternative option.
I was having a poke around on Google satellite to see if there were any interesting looking track or trails near Strontian that I didn't already know about...and something I definitely didn't know about popped up ( no pun intended )
Not too far from Glenfinnan, and with the prediction of a heatwave in May

Just read that Corran Ferry is out of action for the foreseeable……
Relief ferry Maid of Glencoul broke down this morning with serious drivetrain issues and will need a tow to dry dock for repairs
The original MV Corran ferry is already undergoing a refit, so no boat at present
Maybe out for a good few weeks or months
Highland Council are deliberating what to do

I know - I have ridden & driven it - a few times
Just relaying the news today, that was all
So you could prepare your plans
And what's your excuse for not coming ? I took a very circuitous way to Dent last year, well over 300 miles and almost 9 hours..and 2 up, absolutely loved it.
You have ridden and driven the long way up / down to Strontian before so what's so different now
Just had a look at the A830/A831 that looks an interesting detour.
forty eight miles from Ft William.
forty eight miles from Ft William.
When, not if, for a bridge there I think.....

Nothing, it wasn’t on my list of GS events - as I will be at the SSDT - 2/3 weeks before this one
Just the ferry is crucial to the Ardnamurchan peninsula folk and links
Plus the SSDT is in 3 weeks and the Corran ferry is used on one of the days for the 250 competitors and 2000 support/spectators
I just thought some travellers to Strontian event may like to know the recent ferry woes, so they can allow extra time to their plans for the detour and inconvenience
Plus I have been told that there are significant logging operations on the road on the west side of the loch, opposite FW ….at the present time
Don’t shoot the messenger?
