Rest day at Ardmair

 Day 28 Monday 13th May

Weather lovely so decided to have a chill out day, especially as our camping spot was so scenic. 




We could see the ferry leaving in the distance.




Dex and I went for a beach walk. We met a lady called Lynne with her dog Wookie. Wookie was rescued from Romania and looks a bit like a sheep dog crossed with a poodle. Gorgeous grey coat. We got chatting and arranged to meet up later for a walk to the waterfall.








We moved spots to a pitch further along.


We could see some yachts on the horizon.



And a kayak.


Brucie fancied a magnum so I was happy to share 🤣



Later we met up with Lynne and Wookie and Lynne’s husband Andy. We went in search of a waterfall we had seen on OS maps. 



We did eventually find it but it was only tiny.





It was great chatting with Lynne and Andy as they were touring Scotland but had started on the east coast so we were able to trade places to stay and things to see. A lovely couple. 




When we got back it started raining so we all hunkered down in the van for the evening.

 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...

Ullapool

 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...
