112 Darlington
This was an intereseting spot. MCC CL 4 miles from Darlington and just over the bridge from Croft in Richmonshire. Only £5 per nite, incl EHU. Very popular it seemed, especailly the monthly Country and Western Dancers meet.
110 Haddington
The views were OK but it is in the middle of nowhere and opposite the noisy West Lothian Farmers Centre
109 Loch Lomond
108 Inverary
The Argyle Campsite, a large many static vans site with a number of touring site. On the Loch side and has it's own slipway making it very popular with sailers. Usual price £17-25/nite but off season we paid £10 including EHU. Inverary has a pay and display car park with a few motorhome bays BUT no overnite signs are in abundance.
107 Claonaig Ferry Terminal
The ferry wasn't running over winter but the toilets were open and there were a couple of tourers parked up (for winter) in the car park opposite the terminal. No signs or restrictions so we would have happily parked up for the night.
106 Cambeltown
1/2 hour north of Cambeltown on the Atlantic coast is this nice little site. Mostly statics but 10-15 tourers facing the sea. Although they were closed they allowed us to park overnite and use the elsan dump.
105 Adfern
Along the road and just past the village of Adfern there is a 10 pitch motorhome stopover site under construction. When finished it will have a small WC/Basin cabin, EHUs and 2 taps.
104 Sound of Jura
The was a single track and narrow lane along the water's edge. Wasn't really any places to stop and the verges were very soft.
103 Connel CL & Loch Etive
This is small CL just over the bridge and about 1/2 hour from Oban. It costs £14/nite incl elec.
101 Lower Highlands
On the way around the Trossacs and into Argyleshire there were some wonderfull views and laybys. Not sure we would want to overnite in the laybys but quick stops for fotos and a cuppa were more than appropriate.
100 Strathyre
99 Falkirk Wheel
The Council allows overnite parking for £10, ticket payable at visitor centre info desk. You can also use the 'boater' loos and shower but need to leave £5 deposit for the key. The centre is closed Mons & Tues.
The wheel is really a wonder to behold and the paths and walks around the centre crossing the Antonine Wall earthworks are very pleasant too.
98 Old Stables Inn Beattock
A very handy stopping off place on the way up to Scotland. Very friendly hosts and the view of the Moffatt Hills from the car park was very nice. Was allowed to draw water from tap in the car park, which was nice and level. Futher on in the village is the big Beattock Site which allows you to MT the elsan. The pub is a calor gas dealer but didnt have any small 6kgs bottles. Pub stop par excellance and would certainlt stay again.

95 Lincoln
Massive car park and sloping field. Only elsan, bins and water facilities. This MCC CL is too far off Lincoln to be walked or cycled but safe and private.
Whisby Aqua and Garden Centre. Shops and fishing lakes

93 Roman Road, Chapel st Leonards
The Shambles, small holding. Just 200 yds from the sea and 'The Terrace' seafront car park. Unfortunately the Council is waging war against motorhomers. The site is VERY basic but quite adequate for a couple of nights.
92 Frieston RSPB
Not easy to get to but, once found a wonder spot for watching birds and soaking in nature.
There was no restrictions we could find and i guess a number of bird watchers sleep overnight to catch the 'early worms'!
91 Caister on Sea Beach CP
The good news is this CP is right next to the sea and offers a Public WC and is foc Oct-March. The bad news is they appear to be adding height restrictions barriers,
90 Caister on Sea, Old Hall
The foc facilites incl EHU are more than you could ask for. The £5 breakfast excellent value for money. would certainly visit again. They are a MCC safeknights location and a Britstop.
87 Burgh Apton (our spot)
Retired farmer and Caravanner allowed us to park up on the back yard. The farm has a large and well stocked fishing lake.
84 Surfleet seas end
On the other side of the busy A15 junction is the raod to Seas End. The Sip Inn down there may allow WoMos but we didnt ask this time. The boats and broads were most attractive.
83 Surfleet near Spalding
Riverside Hotel, car park.
A very nice spot next to the river. Lively and busy pub, frequented by the locals.As you can see from the roadside view it is next to a very busy road. It was loud.

81 Cantabury
This SP is in the Dover Rd, P+R. It is however close enough to the City to ride in on the bikes. There is water and elsan disposal. It is very popular. It was an easy 40 mins drive to the Dover docks.
NB barriers close at 8.30pm

79 Rietberg.
Am Bibeldorf, a mueum of Bible stories and lifestyle. on the opposite side of the road is a wonderful antiques centre.
The WoMo SP is on the road side and foc. The Sanistation, $1 has a slide up elsan disposal point, the first we'd seen. Quite novel.
78 Wiedenbruck
The other, southern part of the twin towns. The SP is foc, has bins but no other facilities. It has poor Sat reception. Am Hallenbad.
76 Rheda
Half of the twin towns of Rheda Weisenbruck.
The circus was in town so we didnt stay this time. The SP is right near the town centre for walks and shopping.

75 Drensteinfurt (D)
Next to Freibad, closed when we visited. Surprisingly EHU and water both foc... As is the 3 pitches, 2 roadside, 1 in bushes. How do they do it?

74 Ondrup am Kanal
There is a service point within the campsite opposite the canal side car parking spaces. It costs $5. There were 2 WoMos parked up alongside the canal and a police car drove by and didnt stop so I guess parking is commonplace. In summer i am sure this spot will be very busy.
72 Haltern am See
The walk or bike ride around the lake is great. The SP is between town and lake so very well placed. Now charges $5/24 hrs max, 3 days stay. EHU and Elsan each cost $1. It s overshadowed by trees which, in summer will rovide good shade. Unfortunately the TV and Sat receptions are not good/non existant. Over the raod is the swimming pool.
71 Silbersee (D)
There are 2 car parks at this Lake. It has a sea side type sandy beach and lots of water sports activities. The first car park has the WoMo SP in the bottom corner and looked a bit remote and dodgy. The EHU pillar looked like it had been vandalised and now converted to tokens., available at the boat station.
The overflow car park, a bit further down the lane was large and a WoMo was parked up at the bottom. I think this would be my prefered spot too. The SP was foc and cost for EHU and Water. I imagine is is very busy in summer and good weather. It was very empty on our dull September day visit.
