You will have to supply your own boat. Scheduled sailings are from 1 April.
I have a cousin who may be able to get us a trip. I have asked him what the chances are

We did the Forth Belle trip in April last year, and visited Inchcolm Island, probably won't be able to visit out of season as it's owned by the national trust of Scotland, however it might be worth arranging a meet between Apr-Sept and giving the Island a visit. I camped overnight in September in the car park after having dinner and a few beers at the Hawes Inn. Enjoyed the whole visit, great spot, even met Gordon (The Laird).
The only drawback, there is a shuttle boat to the oil terminal that runs several times in the early hrs of the morning. :(
Unless it's blizzard conditions count us in for the meet.

ah, posted in the other one in the other section. such a newbie, it's unreal.
:lol:

my dad and i are hoping to come down for this. sounds like a great day out. i really like the possibility of a boat trip.
:)

my dad has had his bongo for a few years now but i have just started using it. hoping to use it more often as it is a great wee vehicle. (i am getting quite attached to him already).

might be borderline addicted to him. went out to new zealand to see my boyfriend and ended up buying plates and bowls and glasses for the bongo. (very pretty coloured plastic ones)... have come home and am now looking at sporks that match.
:oops:

Nothing springs to mind Gordon, but if it's a decent day you could check out how busy the car park is, I don't mind going down early on the 24th Feb to claim a space with a few other local bongo's if you find the car park is very busy when you visit.
