Cheers for all the info Brompt - let me have a good read through and check the links and then I will get back to you.
I phoned CalMac today to check availability for the Oban - Castlebay ferries on the two days we are looking at and there is still plenty of spaces. Advised no cost for bikes on the roof though may be asked to take them down depending on where on the ferry you end up.
Interestingly their cancellation policy is that you can cancel up to a day before and you get a full refund minus £10. So if there was particularly horrendous weather forecast then we could just bow out gracefully and jump on a plane to somewhere instead!
