Taking the van for a bit of a run....

[BiTurbo]

Well the van is loaded, all ready for the 4am start tomorrow. Heading from the Midlands to Falkirk, night there to Glencoe, Lossiemouth, narn, banf and into the nation park for a few nights wild camping. Then Sunday before bank holiday heading south from Scotland to swanage in Dorset, two nights there then heading to Cornwall. We estimate around 3000 miles over two weeks.

Too right they are none of this foreign leather, some of Scotland's finest.

We stopped in there ourselves on the way back from Ayrshire a week ago

Didn't use the ladies, and was rushing back to Starbucks so didn't see what they were selling in the gents, but i did notice that there were plenty of adverts that i didn't think entirely family friendly... for an online service selling tablets for *ahem* hard partying

 

[Pauly]

Ooo sweets and toys my kids would love it !

Here you go, here at Falkirk for the night.

Well after dolphins, waking up to wves crashing on the shore. We travelled down country. Called in at home for a two hour pit stop. Change of clothes and drop washing off. And of cause washed the van. We headed to my brother in laws place in Swanage Dorset 451 miles from where the day started. Managed to pick up a nail in a rear tyre that was unrepairable. So stuck in Swanage for two nights awaiting replacement. Now in Paignton Devon spending a few nights here and having a few beers before the trek home. Not in a rush so some sight seeing to be done.

Rosemarkie in the morning, nothing like falling asleep to waves crashing on the shore and waking up to the same sound.
