After taking advice today the trip will be going ahead but if you have any of the k19 symptoms please don’t attend as we will be on our own boats and tents and only be nearish at the camp fire we should all be fine the trip will only be called off if we have to go into hibernation by order of bojo [emoji23]🤣[emoji23]🤣[emoji23]🤣 hope to see you all there HH

My view as a registered, practising Paramedic. Currently I’m with Haggis. Should be ok to go ahead.

We are in separate boats, separate tents and only proximity is outside in the evening around a camp fire.

We will most likely all have had salt water sprayed at us all day too [emoji1].

Let’s hope we don’t end up on lock down like some Eu countries! Please follow governments advice and don’t ignore this problem or it will become much bigger than it already is. We have the power to defeat this but only if we ALL act responsibly all the time.

Fingers crossed. Watch this space.

Hi, can you let me know where in Largs you launch from? Also is there a decent car park nearby?
Thanks

Sadly I think with the way things are going, what seemed to be reasonable today won't be tomorrow. Certainly the feedback I'm getting from the islands (where I have a house) is that they would prefer people not to travel there regardless of how 'off grid' they are.

Good luck with whatever you choose to do.

Highland Haggis · 21 March 2020, 23:26

Largs public slipway next to the marina will put up instructions how to get there in the next few weeks if all is still ok keep well and safe if you all can HH

Sadly I agree. It seems that mass hysteria trumps common sense yet again.

Gazzago · 22 March 2020, 19:19

Yes. I fear things are changing. It looks like we may have to change our plans.

The social distancing advise currently in place does not seem to be working. As many are not actually keeping any distance. Our view on being ok outside near the fire may not be enough to comply with this advice.

Let’s just keep listening to government advise and see how it goes.

Callum B · 22 March 2020, 19:25

Many things may change over the next 4 weeks.
It is impossible to predict how this virus thing will pan out.

Im prepared, and ready to go,....but will also follow the government guide lines,......we can see what is possible, nearer the time??

Stay safe peeps....

Agreed. What’s this space [emoji1303]

Gazzago · 12 April 2020, 16:33

Hope everyone is staying safe.

I’d be amazed if this goes ahead but I’m still hopeful [emoji1].

Ever the optimist!

Callum B · 12 April 2020, 16:37

There shouldnt be any excuses for boats not being ready, if you keep them at home!!..... I'll maybe bring a prize for the shiniest boat....

Highland Haggis · 13 April 2020, 07:51

Flying Dutchman will win that then [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] we still have time but will keep you all posted on new date if that doesn't work out.
Hope you are all keeping well and safe and sound see you on the other side of this HH

Highland Haggis · 16 April 2020, 12:15

Well the government has ordered another three week close down I must say I think the sib outing might be cancelled until the lock down is clear will post in two weeks time with update you all keep safe HH

Highland Haggis · 03 May 2020, 13:09

Hi guys if the government relax the rules this Friday the trip will still be going ahead but if the lock down continues the trip will be postponed until the lock down ends and a new date will be put uptake care HH

Big Al C · 04 May 2020, 08:10

Doesn't look like their going to make any decision until next Sunday/Monday.
That's not going to help us travelling up the M6 on Friday........
I'm more than happy to look at another later date.

Sladonians · 04 May 2020, 08:12

I think they are delaying any decision until after this weekend as they don't want to 'open the flood gates' on a bank holiday weekend.

I'm also up for looking at a later date this year.

Highland Haggis · 08 May 2020, 11:44

Hi folks the trip is cancelled until further notice hope u all stay safe and see u all soon HH
