Loch Ness Monster spotting at Easter time. (1 Viewer)

I rise to the challenge....
>> Friendly English speaking locals
I work in Scotland a lot, north of Aberdeen I can't understand them and they can't understand me.

If you cannot understand Invernesians and they cannot understand you then I respectfully suggest that you get some elocution lessons.

Indeed,
For many years English was taught as a second language in the Highlands .. hence they speak almost perfect Queens English ..

now if you had said Glasgow I would agree, I can hardly understand Jan.. and I was brought up in Ayrshire.. only 30 mls away..

Well I love both places, although I tend to head south because the weather is better.

Getting back to the Point Haganap is trying to organize a great meet, and I wish him well!

Oh yes. And by chipping in, even a bit off topic, we are keeping the thread alive.

Similar flavour but not as far is Kielder. Another great wilderness, bit less hilly and lacking monsters, so take your own. Does have a famous wall nearby. Was it *really* to keep the Scots out or maybe to divert the Scottish weather ?

My long association with Scotland goes like this...

"Oh xxxx was wonderful, and look at this herd of deer on Glen Shee......."

"Huh, I'm at home and you're off in posh hotels enjoying yourself"

< Lots of men nodding knowingly >

"OK lets go and do Scotland"

And it rains and rains. Every time.

The last time, we did it by bike and came back and bought a MH. Then went back, did it again and got biking weather.

Wow what is it with my Forray in to differing UK countries that causes so much debate on here.

So in short, hilldweller (Brian) , if you don't want to come thats fine, I promise it's unconditional, im sure Jim will not revoke your membership for not coming.

For the other's we are now up to 7 vans, and despite derekfaeberwick concerns about us all gaining an understanding (very strange comment from someone in Berwick)/ We do have resident Scotts coming that will enable us to leave the translation dictionarys at home.

So as you can already see, it's going to be great fun so come along.

The highlands and above, the motorhome capital of Europe, (2nd only to France) :thumb: and the most undiscovered place in a MH, Thankyou lord:Cool:

A forum is a place for debating. Good innit !

I'd love to come, I've seen sights in Scotland to rival anything ( over a period of 30 years ), but we'll be about 2000 miles due south of you so not this time.

Paul have you an itinery planned for the Scottish bash

Mark

yep sure do Mark. One day I will share it with ya



however the likelyhood is the following, the itenery looks like this at present.

Loch ness site on Friday and Saturday night for some monster spotting and evening entertainment, if your still dressing up?

Sunday we will be travelling to the wonderful Welcome to Clachtoll Beach Campsite the quick way for a couple of nights. Beautiful place, not a lot going on, well other than the beauty but not much in the way of entertainment, so we will have to make our own :thumb: I feel the need for a patio heater though:Cool:

we will then go down to where-ever for we follow one of lifes great plans in that we have no plan:thumb: always saves any dissapointment, but more likely is we head down through Westerross to Gairloch which once again is just a truly stunning place to be for a couple of nights.
Really other than Loch ness no real hard plans, I just know it will be a good laugh, great experience and of course some top quality touring.

As for getting to Loch Ness? not sure about that, we will be leaving on the Thursday pm and just driving north, not sure if you would like to meet at Loch Ness on the friday or join us for the run accross the border? entirely up to you, but we expect to wild camp on Thursday. Let me know whatever you decide, and if you want to come up to the Clachtoll beach site, or stay around Loch ness, both really nice and motorhome friendly. :thumb:
