I'm toying with this idea for a future trip and am wondering if anyone here has done one of their trips? I got a kick out of the Para Handy stories and Youtubes.
I haven't done it, but would dearly love to. I've seen her in steam and close up at Ardrishaig.
As I remember it there is a stumbling block over solo bookings (which doesn't affect you)- I can't remember the details but I equally was unable to resolve whatever the exact problem was.
Although they aren't running 2026 trips, their website says a solo traveler can join a stranger in a twin cabin or take an entire cabin for 20% less than double occupancy rate.
