We have been away in the south Lakes for the holiday, not in th MH but stayed in a hotel and thereby hangs a tale! Now we know why we have our MH, beats hotels hands down.

Back to my subject. We lost count of the number of campers we saw on the road. Far more than in the height of summer. There are some brave souls out there 'cos it was very cold but the sun  shone all the time so the days were lovely and the fells and mountains have never looked better, not a cloud in the sky. Interesting to see were some of you managed to hide yourselves away, you must have really sused out the area before hand, talk about wild camping and good on yer.

Next year we wont make the same mistake again.

We are looking to go away for the new yr, thinking the west coast scotland. Maybe Isle of Skye or fort william area. Do either of you know of any good sites with a friendly pub nearby. We have only just started looking and found a few are closed.

Thanks and all the best

It's a fact. We have been doing this for a long time but except for a brief week to Scotland with our two granddaughters some years ago we haven't been back. The weather was less than good but we had a nice time (teenage girls!!!)

Because of the cost of campsites in the UK we normally go abroard were we can get value for money. Rip Off Britain for us un-employed (read retired) not the hangers on.

As suggested, look at the list of campsites on this site. 

We've just got back from 2 nights on the Looe CC site and 2 on Carnon Downs near Truro. Both sites were really busy - a lot busier than we'd ever expected!

It was our first time camping in December and it won't be our last. It was fantastic......cold BUT dry - better than the weather we had in August!!!
