    I can go up Friday afternoon but have to be back on Monday.
    I want to climb the classic rock routes Cioch Direct & Integrity.

    I will also hope to do a day of rock climbing on sea cliffs or a sea stack (TBC).
    I won’t be doing big days on the Cuillin Ridge because of my ankle.
    Is it possible to get a lift up/down?
    Let me know your thoughts.

    Many thanks

    Hi All
    In reply to Helen- I have done a little research on the Dubhs Ridge- it sounds excellent. Main problem is getting there- very long walk in.
    Easiest way is to get the boat from Elgol. First boat out leaves at about 9am. (£16).
    Last boat back leaves at about 4.30pm. (£14). Gives us about 7 hours. Guide book time is 6 hours. If we missed the boat, walk back may take 3++ hours.
    Phoned boat company – very helpful. Bit vague about whether it is advisable to book. I think she mentioned possibility of provisional booking.

    Possibility may be to book on Friday for Sat/Sun or Monday when we know more about the weather. May be good to provisionally book earlier to reserve spaces?

    If someone else could follow up, I would be grateful. Website http://www.bellajane.co.uk

    Sorry to go on but it is an open secret that i am a garrulous gas bag.

    Hope you are all well.

    Michael and I are pulling out for various reasons. If anyone would like to take our place(s) please let me know.

    Will genuinely miss your company.

    Have a great time.

    Looks like I have sweet talked to Boss into letting me go for the weekend. Phoned up hostel earlier which was fully booked but if the place is available and Maria and Mike still have room in their car I would like to secure a bed space but only for the fri sat and sun nights.

    Any good?

    Pete
