That's pretty much the plan for the North West Mantis. I'll be going Oban - Craignure then on to Iona but in two minds about whether to get back to the mainland via Lochaline or Kilchoan to head up to Mallaig. I've been to Skye a few times but in the car and love the Glenelg ferry, the road on Skye down to Kylerhea is going to be a sheer delight to ride. Back in the 90s before I came across the Internutters our holiday was always a drive up for the first home game of the season, then over to Skye for a week in a cottage. I've not been north of Kyle (or Muir of Ord for that matter) so that section round the northern headland really excites me. Will take up your suggestion of coming back from Orkney to Gills Bay, I'd missed that one ? I reckon the whole trip will take me 8 weeks and will be in the summer of '21. Between now and then I've got to learn how to do blogging and vlogging whatever the fekk that is. Should collect enough ferry porn for posting to keep Yngwie happy - cheers.

That's grand ta Mantis, I'll be timing it so I get to Sneck in July or early August when we've got a home game - or maybe even an away game at Pittodrie, you never know...

Cheers Johndo, the Hopscotch ticket sounds ideal as I'll be making at least 10 CalMac crossings. Motorbike on each one except for the wee jaunt at Cape Wrath. Do you guys know if the wee ferry still runs from Nigg to Cromarty?

Fascinating thread and some great photos chaps. I'm planning a round Britain retirement road trip on my bike which will take in a fair few ferry crossings so this whets the appetite. I'll be coast hugging, starting and finishing at Cromer in Norfolk - calling it the GB5000. So ferry crossings wherever possible at the rivers and estuaries, my first one will be at Woolwich. Some cracking wee river ferries in Devon and Cornwall and I'll also head over to the Isle of Wight, but of course the main event will be the ferries up the west coast as I hop over to Bute, Mull, Skye and Orkney. So if you've any advice for some 'not to be missed' ferry crossings please give me a shout. My Munro bagging days are well over now so instead I'll be bagging RNLI stations and coastal footy grounds on the way.

No way we can fight with the likes of Salford when it comes down to available cash to tempt players in.

Yep we never had so many postponements back then - and as for location, being near the sea doesn't seem to cause the same problems at Arbroath, still the only ground I've been in where I've been soaked on the terracing by sea water rather than rain water!

A good day, makes for far more comfortable reading this week - and like politics, a week is a long time in football! Well done to Robbo and all, a very important result

You falling on yer sword again Gringo for the greater good? ? Falkirk v Dumbarton draw @ 4.75 ta...

Yep soccerbase.com also showing 2287...

I may not always agree with you Alan but I love the way you say it straight - and I can't argue with yer comments above. If I put in a shift that poor at my work I'd expect a right royal bollocking!

Love yer wall sticker Jack, where did that come from?

Hard comments to read this weekend and hard to understand the attitude and performance when we had a perfect opportunity to cement 2nd place and give some payback for the 0-3 at Gayfield. I'm watching the Canaries down here giving 100% every week but now firmly bottom of the league despite their efforts, yet there is a huge contrast in the feelings and reactions from the fans. This is a helluva tough league, there are no easy points to be had. Stupidly, I had a 5 match accumulator for all home wins in the Championship this weekend and I couldn't have been more wrong, it sums up the division nicely.
