Doesn't look like Konrad has posted 2012 images on Jura website or his own web yet. Looking forward to seeing them though.

Thought I would post this as I couldn't find the info online.

I am driving North on Friday evening for the Jura Race this year. I couldn't figure out how to get from the mainland to the race in time on saturday morning, because by the look of this the first boat is 10am Saturday morning.

I emailed Nicol who runs the ferry and he said that there was an early boat at 8am on Saturday morning for the race which will get there on time.

If anyone wants a lift from NE england (DL13) to the race leaving friday evening, coming back whenever, get in touch.

Also - any tips about what to take, route choice, other admin is much appreciated - first scottish race this one.

You might just want to check with Nicol that he has space. A group of us from Pennine have booked at least 10 places on that 8am boat - and I'm sure last year it only took about 12 people. (Unless he's got a bigger boat).

I've also booked with Nicol on an 8am boat.

Sandy, Venture West, is usually there taking people over as well. I've booked with Nicol but have sometimes ended up going on Sandy's boat, they sort it all out.

Interesting information - anything to do with travelling via the Jura Passenger Ferry, Nicol's outfit. I'll put a section up on the race website with any useful or important information I can gather. There are other issues which need to be advertised as well as the timing of the ferries. Give me a few days, and any feedback, further info or feedback always welcome.

Just noticed that Graham has added the information referred to above about Tayvallich parking/camping:
