I was there the very following day - lovely sunny morning - short sleeve
T-shirt on top of Carn Liath - by Braigh Coire Chruinn-bhalgain it was
blowing a blizzard from the East. Now I see what I didn't see on Carn
nan Gabhar - which by the way was 283.

slap up meal in Ballymory

There's now a decent indian restaurant at the bottom of
Back Bray, which I find preferable to the other places
along the quay which vary from greasy spoon to
pretentious sh!te, all over-priced.

This plan sounds good to me. Do we have a campsite lined up yet?
I expect to be in the area from the Monday depending on the holiday crowds,
might look to do Ben Nevis on Tuesday 2nd.

I am assuming the Craignure site at NM 72375 36655. There is one near
Tobermory at NM 49285 54450 - convenient for the curry house. The only
other one I can see on the map is at Fidden NM 30225 21425 - which is a
bit out of the way, although convenient for the Iona ferry.

Does anyone have any inside knowledge as to which is the best one?

Just like we have both been going to Scotland at about the same time.
