Glencoe

Day 10 Thursday 25th April

We loved it so much at the Bunree site we decided to stay another night! The people next door who had the best pitch left the site so we asked if we could move to their spot as it directly overlooks the loch. They said no problem so we are now sat out with an uninterrupted view. Apparently there are otters but we’ve yet to spot them!



We went to the Glencoe visitor centre earlier today. Worth a quick look, they have a Turf house which was made exactly like they used to make them. The videos seemed to mostly promote the Scottish National Trust. The shop was very overpriced and super touristy. You could get a tartan scarf for £90, a bar of chocolate for £5! 






After the visitor centre we drove along Glencoe pass and stopped at various points to take photographs. It was absolutely stunning 😍 





























Update from our campsite- we didn’t see an otter but we did spot a seal! 

Yes it’s that super tiny black dot in the middle 🤣

 Sunday 18th August and Monday 19th August Days 1 & 2. Pleased to report we are starting the next part of our Scottish tour 😍 John is much better and Tekki has had a new clutch fitted and new brakes so we are good to go! Our first night was at a site just outside Stafford. Very quiet and good for an overnight stay.  The boys were happy watching the cricket 🤣 On Monday we set off to Penrith and found a site near a lovely village called Kirkoswald.  The site was at Mains farm. It was a lovely location and had an honesty shop which was great.  The facilities weren’t so great 🤣 We decided to walk Dex into the village about a mile away. The village was lovely with lots of lovely old buildings. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirkoswald,_South_Ayrshire We found a pub open, the Fetherston Arms. Stopped for a quick pint and a chat with the locals who were really friendly and welcoming. Dex met a young cockerpoo called Lola. Afterwards we walked back and I made chicken...

 Day 29 Tuesday 14th May John’s hip was still really hurting and he was struggling so much I decided to try and get him seen by a doctor. I was really lucky and he got an appointment for 10am so we drove into Ullapool.  On the way we could see the tall ship in the harbour. Next to the medical practice was the Highland Stone pottery shop so I popped in for a look around whilst John was seeing the doctor. So unfortunately John has trapped his sciatic nerve and also has lumbago as his back keeps going into spasms due to the pain. He will need physio and it will take time so we are going to slowly head home. Inverness for 2 nights then a few stop offs on the way back. We can start again once he’s fully recovered. It’s a real shame but at least we have a diagnosis now and it’s silly carrying on when he’s in so much pain.  We headed into Ullapool and went for a slap up seafood lunch at the Seaforth restaurant. It was delicious 😋  I had scallops to start and John had Culle...
