UPDATE SPRING 2018
Written by Don Thomson | 9th Apr 2018
Nothing to report. The hyperlinks have been updated for this year and the charts remain the same. The observant among you will notice a red paragraph re single handing; this has been copied and pasted from the Crinan (where you have to wind the gates yourself) and has very little relevance for the fit under seventies sailor with a smallish boat!! We haven't changed the chart 'cos the chart hasn't changed.

These notes were reviewed by Don in April 2016. No major dramas over this winter so all remains pretty much the same. I've given links to the new prices for this year

Those of you who have heard rumours re the closure of the Caledonian Canal can find information by going to the Canal website (there's a link to it in the General Description above) and follow the links Home/Customer Hub/Canal Works and Updates/Caledonian Canal Works and Boaters Updates/Stoppage at Cullochy Weir. It looks as though it's all going to plan and they are hoping to open the Canal for sea to sea transits from the beginning of May
Up the Cally.

What a brilliant trip. We spent our ten day pass and then added another three. The staff were excellent, the facilities were top notch too. There was wind aplenty in Loch Ness but thirteen days without rain must surely have been a record. Fort William and the Harry Potter Train and plenty of shops and hostelries. Inverness is a fine town with plenty to make one's stay a happy one. Have a look round if you have time, the ten day pass is no more expensive than ten nights in a marina I thought.
