We're just back from doing the NW, NE and Orkney so we might have passed somewhere on the way. Which site in Ullapool did you use?

hi jerry +tina

that sounds absolutely fab !! we were going to go to scotland ( can u believe , never been there) but the distance put us off this year. we are hoping to go next year. we're going to somerset this year (brean) .

where did u stay?? what id u visit?? u say u have a dog , can u take them most places or did the site have an on site kennel??

niblue: we only visited Ullapool for the day, we drove across from Dalchalm on the East coast.

sueandjohn: we have been twice in the last 3 years. we are just down the road from you in Stourport. We stop on a Cl just off the M74 at J12 for the night. The first time we went to Invernahavon, its just off the A9 south of Newtonmore, this time we went further north to Dalchalm in Sutherland. Both sites are Caravan Club sites and allow dogs as does the Cl too. Scenery is stunning up there, it really is although i would say the West coast is more rugged and hence more photogenic ( I tried to spell picturescue but it didnt look right) we are planning the west coast next year starting around Oban and working our way up. It is so beautiful and having a rather large dug like yours we love to see her run free in the heather. OH I came over all Braveheart there lol. Go on give it a go you wont regret it.

Hi Jerry an Tina, Sounds like you had a good time, were off up to Scotland next saturday for 2 weeks but only as far as Ardgarten though, were stopping at a CL near Penrith to break up the journey. were all looking forward to it and cant wait but the kids are a  bit worried about the lenght of the journey from Somerset to Scotland  but im sure they'll be ok with lots of stops.

9 days and counting

Emvid1: Just looking at your whereabouts and the fact that you have moved a bit made me wonder if you were in the same line of work that I used to be. If the reference to Brize doesnt mean anything then you obviously arent, no worries mate.

Hi Rob-b:  Have a great time, we did. we stopped a few times too, to let the doggie stretch her legs, oh and mine too. We found the service station at Stafford ideal fore this as it has a decent grassed area for her to gallop around on. The rest of them are a bit lacking in areas to park the van. We missed Tebay on the way up, J36, but stopped on the South side on the way back, it had a great area for caravans with a  huge picnic area too.

Vectratot: You should have driven North of Ullapool, the scenery is fantastic,but I know what you meant about it lol, the tourist season is short and its geared for that.

Jerry+Tina,

I was just curious but yep Scotland to Lyneham kind of gives it away a bit. Yep we are moving to Brize in the near future.

emvid1: Tks for that mate, was on 8 & 23 at Waddington for 10 years before deciding enough was enough. Best of luck.

Having been back all of 2 days, we have 4 days left of our holiday entitlement this year and am wondering about heading back north sometime is September.

IWe stopped there and did some photographs. We also drove around the loop from the A894 at Foindale, Tarbet and Fanagmore, unforgettable luvvly scenery.
