Wilding in Scotland (1 Viewer)

[Wildbill]

We are now reluctantly leaving the isle after three wonderful days
We met a wonderful couple and their children.
We traveled runs the island together Jay made two new friends and so did wee.

Did you go to Holy Isle? (Not to be confused with holy island)

Lovely part of the country and not as commercial as further north.

Unfortunately we missed the open day
But we love this place and will return again sum Time

More pics of the boys having fun

It was brilliant for the boys having company.
We done so much to much to mention
Feeling a bit sad leaving the island today.
But certainly won't miss the midge's
With out a fire and smoke to keep them at bay that would have been unbelievable

We're on a camp site first time in a long time since we have used one more for the getting our clothes clean running out of clean knickers
25 pounds to park a motorhome
Won't be using to many of those load up with water.
EHU and dump the toilet cartridge
Site on a proper flushing toilet
A very long shower

Bill you should go visit Troon harbour. Never fail to see seals while waiting on fish n chips from the wee hurry. Parking to the left at bottom pier. One of our favourite spots.

PS If you ask at the yacht centre they will let you use their water tap.

Arran what a lovely place to spend three days
Bill

My bedroom window in my old house looked straight over to the Isle of Arran. Tis just a short hop from anywhere in Ayrshire & well worth a visit. The trouble is, one visit is never enough. Climbing Goatfell is highly recommended if your reasonably fit, the views are stunning.

A wee holiday over there is long overdue for us Bill, its about time we shook our tails & headed over with our moho, I've never tried wilding over there though.

There's a carpark to the south side of Troon that overlooks the beach, the road is called South Beach. The last time I was there it had no height restrictions, so it might be worth a look Bill. I don't know how tolerant the locals are about wilding though.

The wee hurry chippie is at end of harbour to your right.Lots of seals in the harbour while you wait for fish to be cooked fresh. One of our overnight weekend favourite spots.

I would be very surprised if there were restrictions there. No where near the royal golf course. If heading to Dufries visit Glencapel.

Heading down the cost on our trip to angilsay devon Cornwall Dorset and beyond
The test run for the engine is going grate so far Bill

Depending on which way you want to go (coast or through the countryside) I'd use the A713 Ayr to Castle Douglas road when your heading towards Dumfries. Its a reasonably quiet road & passes through some very pretty scenery mate, so when you get to Castle Douglas all you have to do is hang a left onto the A75 then you'd be in Dumfries in no time.

That's some test run for your newly installed engine upgrade. Are you finding the extra power useful?

If you want to try some pike fishing I can strongly recommend Loch Arthur which is south west of Dumfries. You fish from the roadside and I am sure you will find a place to park up for the night there. I've only fished it once many years ago but caught two around 14 or 15 pounds but it has fish bigger.

The weather is certainly playing ball now Bill, a holiday is always better when the weather is favourable. You might cop for thunder storms on Wednesday, so that might be a good day to plan indoor attractions?

Keep the photo's coming mate, we're all loving them.

 

[Wildbill]

lovely spot but the we man has gone off color a bit.
Not like him to go Moody
Thinking the he needs a early night
One of the only sunny days and he's gone to bed now
Tide coming in and there's fish to be had her
