Hi everyone,
I wondered if I could get some advice from my fellow funsters regarding a 'grand tour' of Scotland? Me and my Wife are planning on spending a few weeks, setting off from Wigan around 28th June and using various CC Sites, together with a few nights wild camping if possible.
We will be taking our Parson Russell Terrier with us, so we are more interested in scenery and outdoor activities rather than going to visit historic sites, or Whisky Trails, etc., and the journey should take in a circuit around the coastline (West - North - East or opposite way round doesn't matter) as well as the occasional inland destination, so that we can see as much as possible during the trip and rather than just select an itinerary at random, we would welcome ideas from anyone who has undertaken a similar journey.
I understand that Midges can be a problem during certain times of the year in parts of Scotland, and they will no doubt be most prevalent just when we are planning to go? How bad are they and is it just a case of using the right repellent, or should some months be avoided completely? The reason I ask is that we are also planning to tour Ireland later in the year as well, and wondered whether we should change our plans around?
Thanks for any advice on this.:thumb:
