We got back yesterday from two weeks camping in Fort William, it all went really well.  I've added some photos to my profile: one of the site as seen from accross Glen Nevis (our tent is a green dot somewhere in the middle); one of the tent; and one of me cooking inside the tent  (on an electric hob, well away from the sides and in a section of the tent with a bucket groundsheet).

Thanks for all the advice that helped make the trip a success.

Did you get eaten alive by midges?

Glad you escaped them, looks like you had a good time, where are you going for your next trip?

Our plans are to go to the Lake District this easter for a week and a half (a clear week relaxing with a couple of days either side for travel, food shopping etc), and to go to the New Forest the year after.

Now that we've got the gear we know we'll be able to afford to get away each year.

I've just peeped at your gallery, the site looks fantastic - was it?  One more question, how long did it take you to drive all that way?

Yes the site was fantastic, this is the one http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/details.asp?revid=2919 

It's in a lovely setting with views of the mountains all round, and has very good facilities.

We got the sleeper train there and back (I managed to get tickets for £19 a head each way from ScotRail http://www.travelpass.buytickets.scotrail.co.uk/BargainBerths/Default.aspx) so I've no idea how long it would take to drive.
