Re: Acharacle start?

Hi,

Acharacle and the rest of Ardnamurchan is a wonder land. The best travels are Oban-Tobermory-Kilchoan route or, if you have the time to spent, the Wednesday only Loch Shiel cruise Glenfinnan - Acharacle. Both ways are sheer beauty !!

Bring the phone numbers of the Hotel, and Shiel Buses Acharacle. They will help you out or even pick you up anywhere on Ardnamurchan if you do get stranded, which is very unlikely. All of them very nice people.

Re: Acharacle start?

Tobermory/Kilchoan is the way to go for Acharacle starters. In 2011 I alighted the bus at Laga Bay, dipped a toe in the water and walked via Ben Laga and the old drove road over to Acharacle. Splendid views in all directions.Link to Shiel buses timetables here... http://www.shielbuses.co.uk/timetable01.html

Re: Acharacle start?

Hi Kirsten
I have a route planned from Acharacle but as yet no place on the Challenge....boohoo!! Given my number on the Standby List I may not get in..... but I would have shared with you.......

Re: Acharacle start?

Many thanks everyone for the helpful advice about getting there - I didn't realise there were so many alternatives!

As nobody has picked up on the idea of sharing a room at the Loch Shiel House Hotel on 9th May, I'll just have to go ahead and make my own arrangements. Hope you are lucky, Laura.
