Plenty of room to leave cars and trailers there and probably just as quick as the drive to Oban etc.

Maybe I am just being pedantic but is Kintyre not in the road going to Easdale from Largs!
Its only about 50mins to get to Tarbert but unless you have wheels on the bottom of the boat you have a few miles of dry land to cover to get to the water on the other side, unless the plan is to go round the MoK?

I have been toying with this for a while as a standalone cruise (Rhu - Dunstaffnage and if impending weather / time weren't on my side jump the train back to Helensburgh & recover the boat later by road type thing) so this is pure paperwork estimations, but FWIW

- with a boat that will drink 0.85L / NM it; literally is 50/50 going through the canal or round the end - both cost & time. The canal is a lot more direct, but all that time at low speed + the canal fees pretty much equates to going round the end on the plane, give or take half an hour and a couple of quid.

I'm planning to put my rib in dunstaffonage marina at the easdale event.

If you fancy doing the mull or canal on way to easdale then I can see about getting our trailers to dunstaffonage for recovery. Your trailer will probably fit ontop of mine type thing.

Hit me up and we can leave the Clyde wed or so perhaps or at least look at logistics of it.

Cheers

I seriously douby I'm going to have the time to do that this year - I am currently working on a semi realistic "worst case" plan B that I leave the tent behind, rock up at 8am on Saturday morning having woken some sparrows on the way out the house, and then head home in the evening.
(currently negotiating with Mrs 9D re. childcare / "payback" )

Plan A is up on the Friday, camp, then back late Sat evening.

If you fancy doing the mull trip another time I'm up for it. I seriously doubt combining it with Easdale will work this year for me, but a weekend sometime in the future? (I've been half planning this from back in the days of owning an SR4 and "wait for suitable weather & go" was an option!)

That was my plan last year, then I decided to stay for dinner with Willk, DD, Jambo, etc. before I headed back down the road. I ended up parking up half way for a sleep for a few hours! I'm considering alternatives this year...

Sure thing, we can sort it out in the summer perhaps.

now that's an idea!

There isn't a bed available anywhere within staggering distance from Easdale but with the more economical Suzuki then gallanach might be an option.

That's a good point!

At the minute it looks like just me, one of last years "crew" doesn't fancy the camping bit and the other has his daughters birthday.

Time will tell

If I am camping I would like to be able to grab a shower after being at sea all day so Gallanach sounds ideal. It actually never crossed my mind.

That in a nutshell is why I didn't make it last year...

Fwiw the camping faction always have a certain "eau de vie nautique". I'd personally rather live with that (with apologies to all those without a blocked nose) than motor back to oban under the affluence. ... but that's just my take on camping and ribbing. A cottage would be a valid solution!
