Let’s go North tour.
Today’s blog is relatively short as it has mainly been a day to travel and move on with our journey. Shortly after we set off the Sat Nav with enduring wisdom sent us on a short cut that ended up being a road just wide enough for us to travel along and went on for about 10 miles. It turned out to give us a stunning view of the wild coast line, beaches, headlands etc, wonderful but nowhere to stop and absorb the view.
We drove through a few other places that looked very pleasant but it was difficult for us to stop, however we did manage a 30 minute break at Cullen where there was free parking large enough for Homer.
It was a very pleasant stop and as you can see not at all busy.
We needed to fill with LPG as we were quite low and using our app we found a garage that wasn’t too far off our route and thankfully filled up and so we are good now for some time.
We had identified a small campsite, CL, for tonight’s stop, a quick phone call ascertained it was ok to stop and we headed there. It has the usual services, water, grey waste, black water and a rubbish bin all for £6 a night.
It’s quite an unusual spot as it is a 30 m stretch of well mown grass in between two fields of wheat with ancient oak trees running down the centre, quite in the middle of nowhere. Speaking to the owner of the farm she informed me it had been like it for decades and they had plenty of visitors so they saw no reason to change it.
