Fuel stops west coast Scotland

[Bridgeman]

Just planning for a trip from Corpach to Bangor in Belfast Lough. Struggling with diesel fuel stops between Corpach and Bangor via Islay sound. Any ideas please?

Are you referring to boat fuel or Bart fuel, via the whiskey distilleries?

Thanks for replies that's a big help. Ballycastle looks like a good option. At the moment I am thinking of keeping to the West of Jura, but may go East after reading up a bit on the sounds etc. We have enough fuel for Corpach to Bangor but like to keep I/3 of tanks in reserve. The whisky stops seems a good idea, but think we will make do with a Guinness in Bangor.

If you're making a whisky stop, Isla or Jura trump every other bit of the west coast!!

Tommy Barbour ltd on railway pier Oban 01631 562849.
Ballycastle - John the Harbour M 07803 505084 will give you a number for a tanker firm (if you need a fair dollop) who come down alongside pontoon on right as you come in to outer harbour- good price- Can be subject to swell in entrance and outer harbour. I miss West coast cruising. If you go west from there ever Portrush has fuel on quay (and great steaks at the Bistro).

All good information, thanks. May have a look into Port Ellen if weather ok. Reading up on it Ballycastle definately seems a good bet.
