West Coast Pics

As a new member here are a few pics of a recent trip through Sound of Islay, Colonsay and back through Gulf Of Corryvrechan during late September.

Can someone help?? Don't appear to be able to get the pics attached.

Did you go by the whirlpool?

What type of pictures are you trying to post? JPEGs seem to be the best. You may be trying to post a picture file that is too large, the maximum file size is 204800 bytes. There is also a max picture size (which I can't remember, but it will tell you when you try to post them).

Check also the section in the bottom left of the 'Post Reply' screen that it says 'You MAY post attachments'. To change this you have to go through the 'User CD' pages.

Please try again as I am dying to see the pictures.

Keith,

Yes we went passed the whirlpool, not quite through it. It was springs and the tide had just turned to the flood. There is photos.........honest......... but still having problems getting them attached. I seem to be following the instructions but the attachment disappear when I post it. Any more clues??

Well the picture is there, so I reckon you've got it sorted

Set off on bright sunny day from Loch Sween to head out across the sound of Jura towards McArthurs Head and through the Sound Of Islay

Mc Arthurs Head

The tide was on the later stages of the ebb as we went through the Sound of Islay and passed one or two of the distilleries, didn't have time to stop for a wee dram though...........!!

Headed out from Sound of Islay towards Oronsay and Colonsay to find some deserted beach to have some lunch.......you have got to make the best of days like this..........

Approaching Oronsay..........

The boat in Oronsay looking North East towards Jura, Scarba and Mull is just in view in the distance on the left...

You just can't beat the west coast on a day like this....
