Quick itinerary.
So i have done this weekend a couple of times either one of the stops or other stuff have stopped all going smoothly.
So to that end i thought just do it differently this time .
This time round we are running all the routes backwards and not booked any stops so not tied to times.

Day 1 .
Leave hotel left onto A85 under Connel bridge then left onto A828 over the bridge follow to A82 at Ballachulish
Follow A82 north to Fort William
Then left onto A830 Mallaig road couple of miles out of Fort William we stop at Corpach mainly rest and loo break.
Back onto A830 follow to Arisaig
We will stop there for lunch we will probably have to split up to the various eateries as can be busy there.
After lunch stop back onto A830 for a few miles then right onto the A861 ( this section is around 22 miles of mainly single track road. ) next stop will be at Strontian.
After that we will follow the A830 round to catch the Corran ferry back across to the A82 ( Ferry cost £12 per car ) then we follow the A82 back to Ballachulish then the A828 back to the A85 at Connel bridge.

Day 2.
Leaving the hotel turning left onto A85 following into and through Oban onto the A816 following to A83 at Lochgilphead the south to Ardrishaig first stop rest and loo break.
Then back to Lochgilphead on A83 and continuing A83 to Inveraray then left onto A819 following to the A85 turning right and follow to A82 at Tyndrum
Stop at Green Welly for lunch break.
After lunch back on the A82 north through Bridge of Orchy and Glencoe stopping at the edge of Ballachulish for afternoon stop rest and loo
Then right back on A82 for half mile then left onto B863 which we follow into Kinlochleven then back to A82 at North Ballachulish where we go back over Ballachulish bridge then onto A828 following back to A85 at Connel.

These routes sound amazing, @Stevo7682 Lots of planning entailed and I know I'm not going being Z-less but wish I was as I'd definitely appreciate all your work in putting these together.

No worries enjoy 🫡

We went to the real food cafe with the motorhome on the way up to fort William a few weeks ago. I agree that the food is good but we waited 30 minutes for it. There are 4 places around there to eat so plenty of choice.

You will drive past our house. If I had known you were coming that way I could have sent you ferry tickets as we get them locally at a 50% discount to what you would pay on board. Are you going home that way as I can bring ferry tickets with me and you can pay me cost price which is about £10 for car, driver and passenger.

 

[Rod and Kate]

Yes we will be Paul, thank you, much appreciated and very kind of you.

 

[ktnez99]
