Darn, I booked my combined train/ferry ticket last night... not sure who else has, so there may not be 12 buying tickets on the day?

I didnt think you could buy the ferry ticket online
Even if we dont end up with the discount atleast they know we are coming 
Personally, I'll just get changed in the car and wear my kit on the boat. SPD shoes can at least be walked in
I'm aiming to get to the port at or before 9am.

Given I'm carrying near 15 stone around to start with, I dont want to take any more kit/clothing with me over on the ferry than I have to. I also have gbc's cardigan to return
What I think I need
- money
- gels
- pump/tools/ inner tube
- kagoul if it looks like rains possible.
- half a Viagra if the nudist beaches busy
What am I missing?

From my experience of Arran, spare socks. If it rains there's nothing worse than waiting around the ferry terminal with soaking wet feet.
Also, energy drinks and water. Refill opportunities are few and far between once we're past Lamlash/Whiting Bay.

I didnt ask for it but i have just got us all a cheeky discount
"Thank you for your email regarding Group Rates for the Ardrossan-Brodick
service on the 06.07.13 and returning on the 06.07.13.
To qualify for Group Rates there must be 12 or more paying passengers who
are part of a recognised organisation or charity travelling on the same
route/dates and times and must be purchased as one transaction.

Please print and take this email along with you on your day of travel,

If it helps to speed things up I would be willing to pay ferry tickets on my MasterCard (not for free before anyone says it!) but ONLY if everyone brings the right money - I'm not dicking about with changing £100 notes and who's paid what, etc.
Col if you bring a copy of the email we can go in together when we arrive.

If you do that, let's keep it simple and just everyone give you a tenner? Saves you being left with hernia carrying the change about afterwards
