Kyles of Bute, Arran and Mull of Kintyre 1st-2nd October 2022

B21 · Post by **B21** » Mon Oct 18, 2021 8:00 pm

A new island hopping version of a Mull of Kintyre weekend.

Taking the shorter on demand ferries, starting at Ayr and then a short crossing via Dunoon onto the Isle of Bute before hopping across the Kintyre peninsula and then down to the Mull of Kintyre.

Staying on the west coast not far from Cambeltown for the saturday night.

Sunday sees us hopping across to Arran for a drive round, coming back and then winding our way up Loch Fyne and back via Dunoon to Ayr.

Limited to a maximum of 8 cars.

Hotels being the key restriction.

Put myself and Lynn down for this one please, obviously nearly a year away but I'm sure there will be plenty of takers if something crops up to prevent us attending.

Hi yes its crazy, however most of Scotland is already booked for 2022..so if you do have a plan better book sooner rather than later..

Hi Dan, I’ve allocated number 4 of the Premier Inn I’ve reserved in Ayr…do you want me to reserve you and maybe others a room in Ayr for the Sunday night?

I've reserved a place at the Argyll Hotel (I did say I hadn't...ignore that)

I’ve reserved a Premier Inn in Ayr on the Friday night..pls confirm you want that ..

You’ll need to find a hotel near Campbeltown on the Saturday night..ideally near Andy and I.

Do you want a room back in Ayr for the Sunday night ?

@B21, are we down for one of the rooms at the Argyll hotel? We don't require rooms in Ayr as we are only 15 minutes or so from the greenock ferry to Dunoon.

Thanks muchly. We might start making our way down on the Sunday night for a stopover somewhere so no need for a room for me in Ayr.
