15 - 17 July Islands of Fleet, Solway Firth
High waters are early afternoon so are pretty good for day sailing around the Islands. Camp and launch at Newton Campsite near Gatehouse of Fleet in Dumfries and Galloway. The site is close to the beach where you can launch light boats and kayaks. However it is a basic site and you need to bring your own toilet facilities. Host: Tim Stephenson. 5 - 8 August Loch Long We can use the Ardentinny Outdoor Centre near Dunoon (PA23 8TR) as a base to explore Loch Long. Camping facilities are available at the outdoor centre, along with use of their slipway and space for cars, boats and trailers. Host: Nick Evans |
2-4 September Kyles of Bute
Carry Farm Campsite is situated on the West Kyle and offers both sheltered and more adventurous sailing. There is a good slipway for most of the tide (steepish). The camping area is on good level ground on short grass with loads of space. Hard standing for campers. Cafes in Tighnabruaich and evening meals at The Kames Hotel are very good if you don’t want to cook. Carry Farm is an eco-farm and includes goats and donkeys so bring some carrots. Argyll Coffee Roasters are on site. Host: Roger Blamire 3 - 4 September Cromarty Firth A rally for those based further north! Launch at Invergordon Boat Club. Host: Paul Laird-Measures. |
