Relatively easy to get to, Arran is a beautiful island with many attractions for the adventurous wild camper: wild camping, rock climbing, hill walking, wildlife spotting, archaeology, swimming.

This is a climbing and walking meet. It will be wild-camping (with the possible use also of the Glen Rosa Campsite just outside Brodick, and at the base of Glen Rosa). Thus, it is SELF-CATERING. Brodick, however, offers a range of options for eating out.

The plan is to take the ferry from Ardrossan to Brodick. There are three or four ferries per day. Cost is £10.20 return for a foot passenger; £41.00 return for a car; £41.00 for a campervan. Tickets can be purchased at https://ticketing.calmac.co.uk/B2C-Calmac/#/desktop/step1/destinations/single

Outward ferry times on Thursdays (assuming leaving Liverpool on the Thursday morning) 1800 - Brodick 1855; Friday 0935; 12.30 1520; 1600; 2030.

Return ferries on Mondays and Tuesdays: 0820; 1105; 1355; 1640; 1920.

It is necessary to be at the port at least 30 minutes before ferry departure.

Glen Rosa gives access to the high tops and to climbing on Chir Mor.
