Re: Scottish Ferries ... all OK ??

For Gourock /Dunoon check out Western Ferries not Calmac.
Western are running to normal timetable, turn up and roll on.

Calmac have a, fully comprehensive, current timetable.
Bear in mind accomodation is currently packed out and campsites are in many cases No Tents.

P.S.
I saw an idea this morning to use star washers as the guyline retainer -- rather than bend a crook.

I have never used Titanium wire tent pegs but the notion of tough shepherds crook style pegs appeals. I appreciate all of the downsides of small diameter pegs. Titaniu...

Re: Covid 19 Coronavirus

People can see those numbers, they are solid, not mode...
