@CalMac_Updates Hi, is there any update on the Gigha sailings? The original post says an update at 8, and it's now 8.40. I need to know if the 9.30 is going!

[Whirlybird @brybell72]

@CalMac_Updates Thanks Callum!

[Whirlybird @brybell72]

@CalMac_Updates Can you find out whether the Tayinloan - Gigha service is running this morning? Your twitter feed and app only has it listed as yellow, possible disruption, but I have a visitor waiting at Tayinloan for the 8am sailing but the boat isn't there!

@slapsalmon @trafficscotland @NWTrunkRoads @argyllandbute Sorry to hear that 😕

[Whirlybird @brybell72]

@BrianOSmith1967 @slapsalmon @trafficscotland @NWTrunkRoads @argyllandbute @Western_Ferries @CalMacFerries Possible, but I'm hearing that the roads across Cowal are also badly affected, and there's flooding closing most of the main roads around Gourock, Greenock and Port Glasgow, so getting to the Western Ferry might be challenging.

[Whirlybird @brybell72]

@PSOSArgyllBute Hearing that the A83 is also closed now between Inverary and Furnace. Are you able to confirm that?

[Whirlybird @brybell72]

@slapsalmon @trafficscotland @NWTrunkRoads @argyllandbute The short answer is no. All roads into Argyll are badly affected by flooding and landslides, so your only potential route is ferry Ardrossan to Arran, then Lochranza to Cloanaig and over the hill to Tarbert.

@UKLegends Ah, hoping for a good outcome - we'll keep him in our thoughts.

[Whirlybird @brybell72]

@UKLegends Any update on the driver who had to be extracted at Duffus by the medics at the end of the last race? Apologies, don't know his name, but we're hoping he's ok.🤞

[Whirlybird @brybell72]

@el_snoop @NairoInGreen He's doing MTB worlds instead of road🙄

[Whirlybird @brybell72]

@BenjiNaesen They didn't. In other news, Scotland has seen a country wide shortage of neon pink aerosol paint😉😂

@pippa_york That's bad. Almost as bad as the BBC'S unfathomable decision not to include you in the commentary team 🤬 You keep doing you Pippa💪

[Whirlybird @brybell72]

@gdublewd @SportsOrla @JoseBeenTV And in most of Scotland! Indeed, it's often a precursor to a compliment!!

@Justin_Britton @demivollering @NairoInGreen @writebikerepeat That first photo is OUTSTANDING! In that one frame you have captured everything that makes cycling (female or male) so thrilling and addictive to watch. Chapeu!🎩

@MartinSLewis I've owned (both mortgaged and outright) since my early 20s, but due to a new job moved to a rented property right before the pandemic and couldn't be happier!! I doubt I'll ever go back to ownership now.

[Whirlybird @brybell72]

@PSOSArgyllBute As my gran was one of the earliest female rally drivers, maybe not, eh?🏎️

[Whirlybird @brybell72]

@Gilberator @SportsOrla Same. Came home at lunchtime to "work from home". Full of good intentions, but managed about 1 sentence!!
