Andy is off on a Greek odyssey at this time and has asked me to take on his island meet. My plan is to camp at Glen Rosa which is about 2 miles from Brodick on the isle of Arran. The camp site is cheap (£5pppn – cash only) and basic (toilets and cold water only). It is a do your own thing meet and there are lots of great opportunities to explore the island by climbing, walking, running, cycling, swimming, etc. I plan to have a communal meal Saturday night (and possibly Friday) in Brodick. I will be walking up Goat Fell and exploring the mountains north of the island on Saturday and possibly cycling around the island on Sunday. I will be on the island from Thursday (7th) until Monday 11th. There are regular (at least 8 sailings per day except Sunday) with Cal Mac from Ardrossan to Brodick at a reasonable price (assuming you are without a car) and I believe bikes are free. There is no need to book at the camp site, but it would be good to have an indication of numbers. Hope you can make it so please let me know your intentions – my details are as per the handbook.
