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.

The views are ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. They could charge £14 an hour for the views but hope they won't!

Unfortunately the weather really let us down but would certainly visit here again.

102 More Highlands

Same comments as post 101.

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

Small Picknique Area just at entrance to village travelling north.
There were no signs or restrictions here unlike the ones at the Car Park a bit further on next to the Post Office. Opposite there was a nice pub/restaurant where we were made welcome.


99 Falkirk Wheel

Falkirk Wheel Car Park.
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.

Park Resort, Skegness.

Whilst not our usual sort of stopover, this is excellent value for money at £5 off season rate. The price includes EHU plus use of pool, sauna etc.
