Ferry Connections - How Well Do They Work?
Ferry Connections - How well do they work? 'Seamless transport interchange' - Feolin Ferry, Jura 10 itineraries undertaken in the Summer of 2008. What worked well … and the uncertainties. Bob Barnes-Watts on behalf of HITRANS Summer 2008 - Weekday during school holidays. Tourist route to Kintyre via Brodick and Lochranza Due to exceptional tides, the Ardrossan to Brodick sailings were delayed this day. (Glasgow) - Kintyre via Ardrossan, Brodick, Lochranza & Claonaig Service No. Sched dep. On Time? From To Sched arr. On time? Comments Claonaig As the 1415 train from Glasgow Central is not due at Ardrossan Harbour until 1509, one would presume that it is not a booked connection into the 1515 sailing. 45 foot passengers alighted from the train for the ferry. CalMac staff at Ardrossan assured me that it is a connection despite the 'be on board 10 minutes before departure' rule. , 'Caledonian Isles' 1350 ? Brodick Ardrossan 1445 40L 125 foot passengers alighted. Unable to say if the 1528 train was held CalMac staff telephoned Brodick office to advise them of passengers for the 1620 bus to Lochranza. Also that I was intending to get the 1715 ferry from Lochranza to Claonaig thence the 1749 bus to Tarbert. I was told that the Lochranza ferry probably would not be held. , 'Caledonian Isles' 1515 35L Ardrossan Brodick 1610 36L Off ferry at 1649. & Stagecoach 324 1620 33L Brodick Lochranza 1700 33L Full and standing.

WEST KINTYRE AND GIGHA CHURCHES KILLEAN & KILCHENZIE PARISH CHURCH KILCALMONELL PARISH CHURCH GIGHA & CARA PARISH CHURCH Welcome How do you feel about waking up every day to a view across the Western Seaboard? Our parishes stretch along the western shores of the Kintyre peninsula and include the Hebridean island of Gigha. View from the Manse at Muasdale Standing stones at Ballochroy People have been settling in this area since Mesolithic times. They have left permanent reminders on our landscape of standing stones, burial mounds, duns and ancient chapels that tell us just a little about how they lived and worshipped. 10,000 years later folk still live and worship in this beautiful part of Scotland. Some were born here and are 5th or 6th generation locals. Attracted by the peace and beauty of the area, many others have now made it their home. Currently our congregations are in vacancy with unrestricted tenure.If you are a Minister and feel called to explore our charge further,we would welcome your enquiry,in confidence.You may well have studied many Church profiles,however we pray God will guide you to a Parish like ours with its own distinctive features. www.westkintyreandgighachurches.org 1 CHARGE:- 'Gigha and Cara linked with Kilcalmonell linked with 'Killean & Kilkenzie' Kilcalmonell Parish Church WHITEHOUSE CLACHAN GIGHA Gigha Parish Church TAYINLOAN MUASDALE Killean & Kilkenzie Parish Church GLENBARR KILKENZIE BELLOCHANTUY The charge is a rural one composed of 2 mainland churches 11 miles apart and a Church on the Isle of Gigha which is a short 20 minute ferry crossing from the mainland at Tayinloan. -
Runners Final Details Tayinloan to Tarbert2020
K������ W�� U���� 2020 FINAL INFORMATION Welcome to Kintyre and our wonderful Ultra race, now in its 14th year. It’s the Ultra folks, but not as we’ve known it. Several aspects of the event will have to be different to keep in line with the Guidance from the Scottish Government and from Scottish Athletics. There will be none of this....... Or this But there will still be this....... And this These rules are really just about respect for fellow runners, volunteers and local people and we are sure that you will not mind complying. Our current goodwill is based on your good behaviour and courtesy at previous events and we don’t want to lose it for future events. You will have to answer the 5 Covid Questions and agree to your details being passed on to contact tracers, should this become necessary, before starting. This applies to volunteers as well as runners. You will be following the Kintyre Way route markers (round blue poles, see photo on website) with direction arrows on top. Also look out for mileage markers (square poles). The number facing you is the distance from the southern end of the Kintyre Way (70, 71, 72 …); the number on the back is the distance to Tarbert (30, 29, 28, …) If this starts increasing... Stop! Over the last two months, local volunteers and contractors have been carrying out maintenance that hasn’t been possible during lockdown. Some parts have become very overgrown and while we have been able to strim and cut back gorse over much of the route, you’ll appreciate that at this time of year (as opposed to May) with very little footfall, there are parts, particularly over the Clachan to Claonaig hill, where the rushes have taken over. -
