So... We are now at Loch Lomond.. What a beautiful place:thumb:

We arrived a bit late to find somewhere out of the way, but decided to ask the folk in the tourist/info centre at the Duncan Mills memorial slipway if we could overnight in the car park.

Is it a motorhome the chap asked ?
Yes...
Och, no problem at all, welcome :thumb:

Tomorrow we will take a stroll round the Maid of the Loch, a paddle steamer that is slowly being renovated... It is a free thing ( which is nice ! :winky: ), before moving around the loch to find a nice spot

Hi Jaws

Pay a visit to Duck bay marina really lovely place and you can park up on the road outside no problem we have even overnight there. A nice walk round the ground of Cameron House and they have a private marina with cafe and bar with lovely views out over loch.

If you want a nice meal try inverbeg Inn just a few miles past Luss and if you drive just past it turn in for the gallery its with a wee walk round some pricey but stunning pictures.

Enjoy

I'm pretty sure Ken (beerdrinker 1) still lives in Luss which is on the Bonnie Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond
I won't give his address on here but pm him and if he's around I'm sure he will be pleased to see you.
Have a great time Jaws and keep the updates coming.

Welllllll.....
After a really lovely day at the loch we decided to move on agin.. Took a drive to Peebles but could not find any places of interest to spend a day around ( not saying there is no where, in fact I am sure there are lots of places :thumb: ) so move on to Jedburgh where we decided to stop at the c & c c site.
What an excellent site it is too.. The folk running it are the very best anyone could ask for, the site is spotless, the facilities perfect.

Tomorrow we are taking a walk up in to town to see the old jail fort and mooch round the town.... Apparently it is quite a step, so will proly be crippled by this time tomorrow :winky:

Oh.. Update on the Ovivo SIM card. Total fail at both places we stayed in Wales, but perfect in Lomond and not too shabby here at Jedburgh :thumb:

Make sure you visit Fort William and if possible take steam train to Mallaig.
Skye is well worth a visit,especially the CCCsite called Skye.Hard standing right on the loch shore.
At present on a Britstops not far from Inverness,visiting Fort Goeoge this morning then heading on up the coast towards John O Groats.

Get your fuel at Wick on the way up to JoG, as fuel is so much more expensive.

If you are going anywhere near Skye have a look for Plockton approach it from the the Skye bridge end if you can, absoulutly beautiful place, the gardens on the houses go down to the beach, last year we were picking Blackberries on the beach, it catches the Gulf Stream and is quite mild, there is a large car park in the village you can park.

The village hotel allows there toilets to be used as public ones and has free Internet if you buy a drink. We have found a good wild camping spot though you can park overnight we were told on the car park even though a sign says no overnight parking.

Pm me if you want to know our secrect place.:Smile:

WOW !!

We have been at Jedburgh since late yesterday ... What a find !

The place is squelching history.. The fort / jail, Mary Queen of Scots house, the abbey... We are both worn out but had a tremendous day.

If you are travelling this way put it on the list...

The local c and cc site is fantastic, but we have now been told you are most welcome to plot up on the car park outside the tourist centre if you like, and there is free wifi there too :thumb:
This place is a true gem.. The sort of place you compare others too

Tomorrow we move on again. Heading for Whitley Bay...

I forgot .... We spent a couple of days beside the harbour ..parked up actually beside the old docks and had a great day round the museum and the old sailing warship

We then moved down to Scarborough for four days before travelling a huge 28 miles to Bridlington.... We are now at South Cliff caravan site.. In to town to have a ride on the wee train and then look around the town..
Tomorrow night there is a band in the sites entertainment centre that covers a lot of 60's stuff....

from here ( either Sunday or Monday ) we are going to York to take in the abbey and see what else is on offer.

So far, touch wood and whistle, we have seen zero rain and it is still really warm.. Currently 10.35 pm and is 22 C !!! )

Had fun tonight.....
Darrell coned .. We could HEAR the fone but could not find it !

Cut a long story short it finally turned up under one of the seats stuck down the side of the water tank !
Gawd knows how it got there !! :Doh:

We used to stop off in Jedburgh on the way north for the ferry to the Faroes, great little town, lunch in the Woollen Mill and trying on the kilts. :roflmto: Not forgetting the switchback A68 and the blind summits on the way to Dalkeith, better than a rollercoaster. :thumb:
