I don't what to put a damper on things. But there are no on demand ferries From Greenock . If you want to go to Bute you will have to go from Wemyss Bay to Rothesay or get the ferry from Greenock to Dunoon and drive to Colintraive taking the A851 then B836 then the A886.and then the ferry to Bute. You could modify your root and go from Ardrossan to Arran and then go from Lochranza to the Mull. Please be aware that in October it can be quite windy on the Clyde at that time of the year. So I would have a plan B ready.
The drive from Campbeltown up Lock Fyne to Dunoon is about 150 mile's and it not a fast road you might meet one or two Log waggons so beware.

Hi there..

Thanks for the heads-up..we've done this trip (crossing the various islands) quite a few times over the years, so realise that adding ferries and weather compounds the issues..

https://www.western-ferries.co.uk/current-timetable

The route is illustrative rather then definitive. Its a simple Google version just to give potential members a broad illustration, so for this one, it does intend to use a few ferries rather than minimise them.

We publish the definitive route to those attending about a week or so before we start taking into account issues at the time.

Sorry all, we are having to pull out of this. A combination of myself starting a new job and working till midday on the Saturday meaning we would be meeting you all at the hotel and missing the run and Lynn being given a date for an examination for professional qualifications she is doing being a week later its just not feasible for us.

Means there is a hotel room going though.
