点评:Almost made it. There's a review two before this one from August of 2023 by Titch-the-Witch who summed up exactly what happened to me. I set out with the best of intentions. Timed it perfectly. As another reviewer said, you don't want to set out at low tide. You want to set out after high tide as it's going out.
It took me about 25 minutes to get over to the island, as I dawdled and took pictures. There was another piece of good advice: stick to the Dhorlin and don't try to take shortcuts thinking you'll save time. You won't. You'll get wet feet and have to backtrack.
I took a cab from the Royal Hotel down to the setting off point, which as of this writing cost about 8 pounds and then I walked back to Campbeltown which took about 30 minutes. The hotel was the perfect place to stay in Campbeltown.
I too got stuck on the rocks and felt it better to abandon the mission. I think I was about 90 percent of the way there but decided because I was traveling solo it was better to turn back, rather than risk a slip and fall (especially with the possibility of an incoming tide!)
Travel with at least one another person. And get the timing right. Great adventure. Glad I did it, but never actually made it to the cave!
翻译:差点就成功了。在这篇评论之前,有一篇是Titch-the-Witch在2023年8月写的,她把我的遭遇描述得一模一样。我出发时满怀热情,时间也把握得恰到好处。正如另一位评论者所说,千万别在低潮时出发,最好是在涨潮退潮后出发。
我花了大约25分钟才到达岛上,因为我磨蹭着拍照。还有一条很好的建议:一定要走多林河(Dhorlin),不要试图抄近路节省时间。你不会的,只会弄湿鞋子,然后不得不原路返回。
我从皇家酒店(Royal Hotel)打车到出发点,截至撰写本文时,车费大约是8英镑,然后我步行返回坎贝尔镇(Campbeltown),大约花了30分钟。这家酒店是坎贝尔镇最理想的住宿地点。
我也被困在了岩石上,最后觉得还是放弃比较好。我觉得我大概走了九成的路,但因为我是独自旅行,所以觉得还是返回比较好,免得滑倒(尤其是有可能涨潮!)。
最好至少结伴而行。而且要把握好时间。很棒的冒险。很高兴我去了,可惜最终没能到达洞穴!
