Hi Stuart,

We travelled from Cairnryan to Larne about 2-weeks ago and there was no problem at all.

I would recommend that you arrive early so that you can secure a comfy seat onboard or else you'll be stuck on the outside top deck or sat in the central area where the truckers pass through from their truckers lounge (and some of them, mainly foreign, don't give a care about CV19 and social distancing from what we experienced).

Toilets onboard are a challenge too inasmuch as a 4-person toilet is often reduced to just allowing one person in at a time.

Otherwise the trip for us was fab.

We're in NI but the volume of motorhomes is very low indeed so campsites should not be busy albeit it seems that most people are heading down to tour the ROI.

I can't help on golf club car parks - sorry.

All the best,

Andrew

P.S. Give yourself plenty of time to get to Cairnryan as the roads can sometimes be extremely slow-going with trucks restricted to 40mph along the main routes and tractors etc.

It's tractor season anyway so ensure that you add at least 90-minutes to any calculated journey time from Dumfries to Cairnryan.

Good luck,

Andrew

Thanks all, think I'll do a bit more investigation on routes / golf courses and bucket list locations , that and the possible covid changes on 19th will decide how we approach the trip ..

Before you get on the boat you could try out some of the courses around Cairnryan e.g, Glenluce, Portpatrick and Stranraer. Just a thought for a little extra fun

If you are travelling round rhe antrim coast from Larne you might look up Castlerock..it has a first class course and there is a site in the village that takes tourers..a short walk to the club house from the campsite.
Portrush and Portstewart courses in the same area ..
