TGOC Loch Ness Ferry

We’re very grateful to Gordon Menzies who will again be providing a Challenge-specific ferry service across Loch Ness, from Temple Pier, Drumnadrochit, during the 2013 TGOC. This service is always very popular and we recommend that you book at least a day in advance.

Crossings are at approximately 8am and 5pm and the MV Morag mo Chridhe can hold 12 people with packs. If you find the boat full, please wait patiently for the next crossing; Gordon always does his best to get everyone across as soon as possible.

The price for 2013 has been pegged at £10 per person, with a minimum charge of £20 per crossing. Please pre-book at least a day ahead of your crossing (gordon.menziesm@btopenworld.com, 01456 450205, 07831 434691).

As you approach Drumnadrochit on your walk, please contact Gordon by text to confirm your crossing time – don’t forget to include the names of all in your group in the text.

Don’t miss the boat: Gordon sails from Temple Pier (GR NH528300), more than a mile out of Drumnadrochit centre. Allow adequate time to get there – if you’re in accommodation you might like to order an early breakfast! The landing on the east shore is at Inverfarigaig (GR: 517237).

Gordon has provided this terrific service for as long as anyone can recall and his service is very much part of the soul of the event. We hope that Challengers will continue to support him and not be tempted by other operators attempting to poach business.

Any updates regarding the ferry service will be provided in the January/February newsletter, and in the Final Details in April.
