Pondered options for Europe, but have decided the top of Scotland it will be [again]
partly based on this

now while I am here, can anybody tell me how I could have shown that as an image rather than a link,
To save you opening it, it is a google route option from home Bolsover to Durness, then I chose a similar distance south from us, it only gets us as far as Le Mans
That finally made my mind up, we love France, but equally love Scotland, to get to France we have the added cost of the tunnel, then a good chance of the weather being more typical of English type miserable weather, whereas top of Scotland will hopefully be cold and crisp, snow on the mountains, proper winter
Add in the temptation of driving further south in search of sunnier weather, it had to be Scotland to retain sensible use of retirement funds before retirement age!!
So setting off on Wednesday for three weeks away, taking motorway route up to Perth, then A9 to Aviemore, for Grantown on Spey for a few nights, a couple of overnights en route not sure where yet
Then on up to Durness for a few nights, the site there [Sango Sands] is closed, but never shut, the owner leys any comers on for free, or £7 with electrics, access to water and dump, what more could you ask for
I will update here with our progress as we get going and hopefully some stunning photographic views
