Good weekend camping (I know it’s Tuesday, but spent yesterday watching Queenie when we got back, bless her).
Nice informal site south of Oxford with no EHU, but good facilities and hot showers. One man and his dog, and an old mate who joined us. Nice campfire on both nights, and a good long walk on Saturday (pooch was buckled afterwards).

Jimbob ….is that a Berghaus Air shelter set up?. How do you find it if it is?
It is mate. It’s a good bit of kit. One inflation point for the air frame, it’s up in minutes and down quickly too. I’ll be honest, I’ve been a bit shy of drilling holes in the van to fit an awning rail, so got this to see if I actually needed an awning attached to the vehicle. My conclusion after about 8 weekends away this Spring/Summer/Autumn - I don’t need an attached awning. Van for sleeping in, air shelter as a lounge/dry/shade area. Got myself a 3m square breathable groundsheet for it as well. That’s all I need pal.

Couldn’t post yesterday as I had no internet.
Stayed where I’d parked on Sunday night as I had internet and wanted to watch the funeral. Then did the short drive to Kirroghtree Visitor Centre and went for a 3.5 mile walk with the dog through the forest. After the walk we drove back up the A712 and found a brilliant park up virtually underneath Murrays Monument. Zoom in on the picture and see if you can spot the van.
How the hell they got all that granite to the top of that hill in 1835 God only knows.
Left there this morning and started heading north, stopped for a walk along the beach in Ayr and now currently parked up by the side of Loch Cluanie. Will be heading over to Skye tomorrow.

Exactly my thought process too in fairness. Long to put up or simples as it looks?It is mate. It’s a good bit of kit. One inflation point for the air frame, it’s up in minutes and down quickly too.

@True Romance - We're leaving tomorrow and therefore paid the bill earlier today. The answer to your question is £19.57 per night at todays Kuna/£ rate and with Camping Card discount which I reckon is an absolute bargain. This is the place Camping Stobreč Split - The best middle sized campsite in Croatia
Mate that is an absolute bargain.
Not much in the way of privacy between pitches there.??
Here at Bryn Gloch campsite near Caernarfon for the night. We are off to do the Velocity 2 zip wire tomorrow morning.
Weather is quite warm but quite windy. Rain is forecast for tomorrow so I think we’ll get wet whizzing across the quarry. Oh, and I hate heights!
It is nice and peaceful here which is good.

Parked up at the Lagganbeg Caravan And Camping Park, Mill Loan, Gartocharn, Alexandria, G83 8NQ, Scotland.
Driven 6.5 hours from Swindon to get here. Less than 20 minutes from The Ply Guys tomorrow morning where they’ll be fitting out the back of our Kombi to make it into a ‘proper camper’.

What's the site - I am wanting to do the Camel Trail next time I'm down that way...?
It’s Ruthern valley @tonys102
We went to the restaurant there for my birthday when staying in a villa nearby. I didn’t like the sea round there, it was more river than sea and some dubious floaters in the water too!
Sorry obviously not today but first video from our recent French road trip from the last two weeks.
They look good, didn’t even know they were there, just a few miles from me
