We rose early on our last day in Aberlour – the strong sunshine found it’s way through every gap in the window screens, and the bright green tent of the pop-top seems to glow in the low morning light. It was 7am. There wasn’t a sound outside – this really was the absolute definition ofContinue reading “Summer tour, July 2022 – Part Five – Aberlour to Scone”

Summer tour, July 2022 – Part Four – Inverewe, and on to Aberlour
Our second day in Poolewe saw more showers early in the day, but we determined to go and visit the Gardens in any case. Depending which forecast you looked up, it might well clear up in the afternoon, so we might as well just get out and get on with it! A fine drizzle fellContinue reading “Summer tour, July 2022 – Part Four – Inverewe, and on to Aberlour”
Summer tour, July 2022 – Part Three – Dingwall and on to Poolewe
Our second day in Dingwall looked promising from the outset. The weather was brightening up again, although it was a bit breezy. The campsite is nice and sheltered, though, surrounded by high fences and trees, with hedges and trees dividing the pitch areas into more intimate “streets” with, say, four pitches in them. The siteContinue reading “Summer tour, July 2022 – Part Three – Dingwall and on to Poolewe “
Summer tour, July 2022 – Part Two – Oban to Dingwall via Loch Ness shores
Day three saw us up and about at around 07:30, and we were showered, packed and breakfasted by 09:30 – so much easier without the awning! The secret for us is to keep on top of the clutter as you go – put things away when not in use. This way it is simple enoughContinue reading “Summer tour, July 2022 – Part Two – Oban to Dingwall via Loch Ness shores”
Summer tour, July 2022 – Part One – Oban (well, NEAR Oban!)
In uncertain times, it often takes a leap of faith to reap reward. As we come out the other side of the Pandemic, one part of the hangover we are suffering is the increase of Stay-cationers. There are far more campervans and motorhomes on the roads, and people, quite rightly, want to use them toContinue reading “Summer tour, July 2022 – Part One – Oban (well, NEAR Oban!)”

Disclaimer – I am NOT a mechanic!! Nor have I experience of anything other than the earlier diesel model of Bongo.

First 2021 adventure – Kirkcudbright and Solway View
And slowly, steadily, we are coming back into the daylight, after a very bleak end to 2020, and a similar beginning to 2021. Covid cases are down, the all-important R-number is below 1, meaning we are seeing lowering case numbers again, and our Government has allowed us some relaxing of the strict restrictions we haveContinue reading “First 2021 adventure – Kirkcudbright and Solway View”
Ready? Set? Go….when we’re allowed!
I’m sure I’m not alone in starting to feel a growing sense of optimism, a feeling that things genuinely are getting slowly better? In part, I’m sure down to the inevitable changing of the seasons, Spring is in the air, the days are getting longer, and the sun is gradually warming things up again. ChangesContinue reading “Ready? Set? Go….when we’re allowed!”
