Kyleakin...anyone local?

[Last Tango]

Hi

I'm hoping there's someone in Kyleakin that is familiar with S Obbe Road.
I'm thinking of renting the last cottage on the waterside of S Obbe Rd. for two weeks and was wondering if there is enough space at the end of the road to turn a car + 6.5mtr rib (top of the fishing pier) and if the parking space at the house looks big enough to store the trailer.
Grateful for any info.

It looks like there is more than enough room when looking on Google street view.

South Obbe road is branched so I'm not quite sure where you mean for the cottage. If you mean the end of the road where the old ferry slip is then yes it's easy because it's a wee one way loop around the buildings at the end of the road. You just drive around and you can launch your boat off the ferry slip. This time of year you'll likely find space on the pontoon to leave your boat, at busy times probably but maybe no.

Don't think we're taking about the same road. It's the single track road that crosses the river, turns to the the left and comes to an end at the old fishing pier ?
I've had a look at it on street view and it looks like a "maybe"

I'm about 20 minutes down the road --
Its a bit tight so would say its a no, but could have a look later if you want ?
there is storage just before it, and if you ask the harbour Master in Kyle, they will prob let you leave it on the old ferry slipway.

Mr JWalker - how are you ?
Just added wheelhouse to my 9.5m Humber.....

Hi
Thanks for the info.

I think I'll just book up anyway on the basis that I'll find somewhere to park the trailer and hopefully get the boat onto the pontoon for the two weeks.

If you're in Kyleakin it would be good if you could have a look but don't make a trip just for that.

Thanks

Cool thanks, long time no see.

We need a pic of that Humber Mr Fowler sir!

Just as a matter of interest. There is a lovely new public slip at Carbost, Loch Harport, West Skye. Got pontoons too so handy for visiting the Talisker distillery etc.
