\u00a0We Are On Our Way<\/span><\/p>\n … quite a steep hill …<\/p>\n … from the town centre.<\/p>\n There are trips out on each of the five non “travelling” days and, cunningly, the company doesn’t tell you which trip is on which day until you get there.<\/p><\/div>\n A wee dram is (hic!) supplied. Probably VERY wee!<\/span><\/p><\/span><\/div>\n <\/p><\/div>\n Meet and greet with Nessie NOT guaranteed. But awful souvenirs may be purchased!<\/p>\n The river (Ness, fbb believes) is a real treat; but equally interesting is the small but perfectly formed (?) bus station.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\n <\/p><\/div>\n Maybe returning via the ferry\u00a0 from Armadale to Mallaig.\u00a0<\/p>\n The blurb then says via Acharacle and the Corran Ferry back to Bill’s Fort. If that’s right …<\/p>\n … that will be two new ferry routes for fbb to “cop”.<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p><\/span><\/div>\n Sometimes called McCaig’s tower<\/span> which is most definitely isn’t. It served no useful purpose and, for the fbbs, requires a crippling ascent and descent. But it does look pretty floodlit.<\/span><\/p>\n This is almost an exact duplicate of a trip last year with Lochs and Glens so fbb is hoping it is on a Tuesday or a Thursday and he may opt out and do an intriguing ferry and bus circular from Fort William. This is the ferry.<\/p>\n Only joking, Mrs fbb, this<\/span> is the ferry.<\/p>\n Interesting, eh?<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p><\/span>Unless you are local, you may not have heard of the Bristol Ferry Company. As well as excursions and educational trips, they run a ferry bus service within Bristol centre.\n In a week ot so, the company is trying out a commuter service from Netham Lock …<\/p>\n … where the city centre river “cut” joins the River Avon …<\/p>\n It then chugs via the dark underbelly of Temple Meads station …<\/p>\n … and round into the city centre.<\/p>\n Red Funnel Expands Big Small Time<\/span><\/p>\n The ferry from Southampton to Hythe …<\/p>\n
