MULL to ARDNAMURCHAN CALMAC FERRY - in a MOTORHOME - Will We Make It On??
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 тра 2024
- Hello everyone,
We try and make the early Calmac Ferry between Tobermory on the Isle of Mull, and Kilchoan on the mainland.
But we've been told that as we have a large Motorhome, we may not be able to get on, and that cars will be prioritised.
Join us to see what happens next...
Dave & Sue
Music as always is from our friend Serge Pavkin - Thank you Serge 💙💛💙💛

Yes, from Tobermory to Kilchoan (the route has already been checked before🙂) It's great when the weather is nice, you can see the scenery well and the mood is more cheerful. The views from the motorhome window this year are incredible. Thank you Sue&Dave.
Cheers Serge.
Yes that ferry felt like going into the wild. Ardnamurchan is sort of cut off from the busier places - even Mull is busy completed to Ardnamurchan. Was chatting to a guy who says it is four hours to hospital if needed from there.
So a wild and beautiful place - our favourite park up so far in the van. Weather was rubbish but we didn’t care!!
I love how helpful the Calmac staff are , we have always found them to be brilliant. We walked to that light house on Mull , we’ll never forget that day the rain was coming in sideways. We enjoyed the music on this video guys , good choice . Thanks for sharing a good watch we enjoyed it . Best wishes H and M
Thanks so much H & M. Very kind of you.
Yes we’ve fallen head over heels for Mull (although we never had the horizontal rain) 😃
Ardnamurchan is also a place we want to get back to as soon as we can. Stunning area - remote and wild and friendly all at the same time.
Have a great weekend guys 👍👍👍
That road to the ferry was like an obstacle course. Park in the middle so you don't tip the ferry......NO THANKS! LOL I'd be a nervous wreck! Glad you made it. Have a safe trip!
😃😃😃. We were both nervous mate. I was trying not to show it! But we made it across and Ardnamurchan was like Utopia. Your sort of place - wild and remote and oh so beautiful
Have a great week ahead Steve. 👍👍
Really enjoyed your ferry crossing. I like your honesty about the boarding anxieties. We have all this to look forward to in June. Safe travels and keep the videos coming 😃👍🏻💙🚐 Trev n Sue xx
Thanks guys. Yes it was a bit worrying when another camper told us that they prioritised cars on that journey. But a campsite owner said it was rubbish! Anyway arriving an hour before helped I think!! Loved our trip so much. Really looking forward to following along with you and Smurf next month. 👍👍👍
A great ferry crossing Dave and Sue, a bit of excitement for you both. It looked beautiful as you drove off the ferry, it’s such a stunning part of the world.
All the best,
Ivor
Thanks Ivor mate. It’s an amazing area. I think we have loved Ardnamurchan the best of anywhere in Scotland. It’s so unspoiled and quiet. Back home now and trying to catch h up with everything. Hope you and Robert are doing ok mate.
Love the very coloreful houses ❤ Nice ferry trip and a beautiful drive in wonderful landscapes 😊
Stunning places Soren. You would love it there. Much more space and solitude than other places across Scotland. And then Ardnamurchan was something else again!!
Hello Dave and Sue, could hear you were a little apprehensive, think we would be. Quite a tight fit on the ferry. You did no problem. Great you have the suspension. Oh wow and the views on your park up. Amazing. Take care x Julie and Tony x
Cheers guys. Yes we were pretty nervous about being allowed on and then actually fitting on but all was fine in the end. The crossing was great and the place we ended up was incredible- definitely the best place we’ve stayed at yet!!
Hope you guys are doing well 👍👍👍
Hey Dave and Sue,
We caught up on your Scottish adventures at the weekend. Have to say, your videos are usually so chilled and relaxing, but this one made us nervous 😂😬🙈. Think we actually held our breath when you were on the steep ramp off the ferry! Nice driving Dave👌👍. Glad all was well. And looked like you found a fabulous place to pitch up😊👍.
Thanks for sharing,
Will be popping lots of comments on so sorry for them all being at once!
Shell and Pete 😊👍
No probs She’ll and Pete.
Ha we were very nervous about getting in but not too bad about getting off. The Calmac Staff were great!
And we ended up at our favourite campsite to date. It was a stunner.
Hello, always an adventure with a ferry like this. Things are pretty tight there. It's just good that you can drive back out there. And then the great parking space with the view, great. Thank you very much and have a nice week. Greetings Alex and Alex
Cheers guys. We had an absolute blast in Scotland. The ferries were brilliant - the landscapes and wildlife incredible!!
Can’t wait to go back again!!!
Hello there. Glad to see you two got on the ferry. The view from the ocean is Beautiful❤❤❤ enjoy your travel.
Thanks so much. That’s very kind of you. Yes we were very nervous but all was fine in the end. We loved the Isle of Mull and Ardnamurchan was just as beautiful!!
Good for you. I’d be a tad uncomfortable. Thanks for sharing your adventures.
Thanks for following us Brenda. We have had an amazing trip - and we loved the Western Isles and Ardnamurchan. Special places.
All is so lovely. And I have always thought that ferries added a bonus in a journey 👍
They really do. It always feels that you are travelling to somewhere very different!!
We had a fantastic trip and we loved every minute!!
Look at that, fits like a glove!! You're like me, worry myself to death, and it all turns out fine in the end anyway. Poor Florri, got herself a little bit of a wind problem...better we watching what you feed her! LOL Well, at least when you make your bed, you get to be the first to lay in it...Otis seems to think that mine needs his approval before I get in it!! LOL
😀😀. Cheers Bruce. Phew we were nervous! Wonderful country though. Must be amazing to live where you do mate. Just love the Sea!!
Glad you got her on the ferry with no trouble, and got her off again 😊❤❤
Cheers Anne. It was a bit nerve wracking but all ended fine and we ended up at the best site we’ve stayed at yet!
Well I would have been nervous as well, especially with a load of watchers behind you, Sue did not sound happy lol. I bet those 3 vehicles that were left behind were cursing you mind and once you got off the ferry, those roads looked a bit tight mind. Cheers Alan
They were probably were Alan. But we had paid and it’s first come first served 😃. Flippin nervous though! The roads are a bit crazy around here there especially as you get into to the woodland near the Lochs. Blind bends with no passing places and very narrow! But we had an amazing time!!
Oh my goodness! Florrie looked as big as the boat from that top down view! What an adventure she and you had! 😍🚐 well done for navigating it all so smoothly! 👏🏻🎊💪🏻
Thanks Sah. Gosh it was a bit nerve wracking!! 😃
Great video! Wow there wasn’t too much space on the ferry - glad you made it through each end without a problem! Nice to see the Timelapse of your drive there too, thanks for sharing
Gosh it was a bit nerve wracking!! 😃. But a lovely crossing to the beautiful Ardnamurchan.
Have a brilliant weekend. 👍
Happy Friday Dave and Sue and well done making it across with the ferry. Two things helped I think. The first that you wisely got there an hour before departure and secondly that you installed the air suspension on Florrie. Can you imagine how your trips would have been like without that suspension? So definitely a wise move to purchase and install that air suspension! As for the landscape it is stunning and a real treat to experience! The surprising thing is that the mainland seemed more remote than the Isle of Mull, but I guess that is for historic reasons as it was easier to move around by boat than on land back in the days! Have a great weekend, Ant.
Yes that’s absolutely right Ant. I was surprised just how isolated Ardnamurchan is. A good two hours from the only town near there by very narrow roads and across passes.
We were nervous about this crossing especially as a fellow camper on Mull told us that they prioritised cars over motorhomes which you can accept as people commute that crossing. We did arrive very early and three vehicles were left behind. The air suspension worked a treat - the ferry guy didn’t think we would have enough clearance but it was fine.
And Ardnamurchan was an absolute joy. A stunning and wild location with amazing wildlife! And our best camp out yet!
Have a great weekend my friend - hope the weather is starting to turn for you. 👍👍👍
Not only did you fit, you had a great adventure.
It was brilliant Bill and DeAnna
Led us on to our favourite park up yet!!
We though Mull was stunning but Ardnamurchan was incredible!!
Hi Dave, ive been watching your Journey just a bit going on at moment as you know.. loving the trip. I have lots of a anxiety on transport, not been on a plane for 8 years now but we loved going abroard at one time but my Anxiety does let me do that now..shhh.. get that eye sorted Dave...Lovely edited all round video..went well...Thanks for taking us along.. atb K n S & Rubes
Cheers Kev
Yes that ferry was a bit of a worry as we had been told by another Motorhomer that cars were prioritised on that crossing sometimes. We got there extra early so all ended up fine.
Hope you’re doing ok mate. Must be so difficult at the moment. The eye improved after a few days. Bit weird though at the time!!
Stay well and hope you guys are doing ok 👍
So glad the ferry was ok 👍🏻
It was fine in the end Cara. But we were a little worried that would prioritise cars over us. In the end we made it to a paradise location!!!!
That was great Dave. You made it look easy 😆
That view of the top of Florrie at 7:27 just showed how big it is 😳
I know. It’s a bit crazy Phil. We didn’t think we would get on as another Motorhomer had told us they prioritised cars on that crossing but in the end all was fine as we got there early.
What a place though. We crossed over to a sort of Utopia!!!!
Morning guys you were brave Dave driving down the streets of Tobermory which look as small as some of our Welsh streets ! Glad you made it on the ferry, though it did look a bit tight taking up 4 car spaces, I didn't realise how big Florrie was when next to the cars lining up, so good. The views from the ferry were beautiful. Ardnamurchan looked so lovely as you drove and the view at the end where I guess you ended up camping looked fabulous 😃👍~ Anna
It’s interesting Anna - when you book the crossing there are prices for various Motorhome sizes - we estimated that we paid for three car rates even though we took up four spaces. You do pay for occupants as well so maybe it ended up a fair price.
But the ferry trip was wonderful again. Our third of this trip and it took us to an amazing place in Ardnamurchan. Our first place where we hadn’t booked anything. And our favourite park up so far in Florrie.
Have a brilliant weekend you two. 👍👍
@@NBNatureTrailvan It all looked brilliant. Thanks, you have a good weekend too 👍
This is a very nice video of your adventure with this ferry. I really enjoyed watching. Many greetings 😀
Thanks Jurek. Very kind of you. It was a lovely crossing and we were fine so all well. 👍👍👍
Well done getting on and off that Ferry 👍 Graeme
Cheers mate. A little nervous beforehand but what a great trip!
Hello you two... a massive hello from Cheshire, i am so glad i found you as i hae been researching how to get from Oban to Mull when i go to Weymss Bay in June. Loving your channel. Loved the Liverpool vlog.. my favourite place and only 20 mins away... Tracey x
Hi Tracey.
Glad you enjoyed the vlog! 👍. We’ve had a brilliant trip through Scotland. We did the Western Ferries from McInroys Point to Hunters Quay, the Oban to Craignure ferry and then this one to Ardnamuchan from Tobermory.
Hope you get booked to Mull. Mull is incredible - we fell in love with the island!
Ah yes, Liverpool- maybe our favourite city - we really need to go for a few days and discover the history and the culture a lot better than we have so far.
Hope you have a brilliant bank holiday weekend - and if you need any advice just shout! 👍👍👍
Back from an unexpected trip, catching up, still.
Have a good week ahead Dave. 👍👍
Nice place 🎉
Thank you. Yes it’s very beautiful there. We loved the Isle of Mull. 🙏👍🙏👍
Nice going 👍
Cheers Arnstein. Such a gorgeous place there.
nervous times mate...glad it worked out ok
Thanks mate.
Apologies - need to catch up with a lot of vids - back now so will get on it 👍👍👍
How many boats do they have
Hi Victor. Apparently Calmac have over 30 vessels of all shapes and sizes. Loads of different routes all around the Islands. Amazing Scotland!! 🏴
