Tony you will pay well over for it, better to take some jerries and fill up at Tescos in Qban. Weather wise better to checkthe following Windfinder @ easdale, Yr No postcode entry and WC Weather postcode entry plus Ardoran has its own weather on site as i expect you will be launching from there anyway. Nancy Blacks is a good chandler in Oban google it for directions but once again Chris has an en site chandlers at Ardoran.
Hope this helps.

So 5 ribs in convoy is it, you lot are going to be so popular driving round Loch Lomond NOT!

Beautiful part of the world, even if it it rains. If the Mishnish pub is still open in Tobermory that's a great run up the Sound of Mull.

Dead jealous

Have a good un

We will let Kerney lead then they can blame him for being in a Nissan.
We will have 2 way radios so we can spread out a bit.

Looks good, just out of interest, I see you have a cover on your boat. I have a very similar one for mine, how does it handle being towed on the motorway with the cover on???

Just wondered, as I would be worried it would shred/fly off!

Also how much does it cost for the N2 in the tyres?

Anyway have a great time up there, and have fun!

Probably a good idea cos if you drive your LR like you drive your rib it will be a lot safer + my 3ltr Terrano would out perform your LR's on them hills anytime
