car parking on Oban

[Steve Watkin]

Please can anybody help? I am looking for a reasonably secure place to park my car during the second
week in Sep so that I can visit Mull on my trike. I will be driving up from Kent so it may be that I
will also need B&B for one night. Any ideas or offers would be appreciated. Please reply to
[email protected] or 'phone 01689 837602

Thanks in advance Steve CTC membership number 8011065

I've done it three times. Twice I parked outside a nice B+B with a youngish family running it.
Anywhere thats free will be fine, esp that late in the season.

(in words ... where the road signs tell you to go, and then past the swimming pool )

Only trouble is the direct route to town is down the most evil slope I've ever seen. Not recommended
even to walk down with a loaded bike.

A b&b with private parking would be the easiest soln. There is a public car park in Oban and I don't
think it's a crime hotspot.

Word of advice - this is a public forum, copied all over the world. Armed with your name and CTC
membership number, I bet I could get the CTC to give me free advice, change your address etc.

No B&B will mind you parking as it gives the impression that they're popular.
