We're on our way.
We've had our problems, to start with the jockey wheel went Pete tong. A buggered bracket that took a few hours to bodge .
Then that evening the wife says "your exhausted was rattling when you reversed on to the caravan " so on Thursday morning I get under the Patrol to find the Exhaust swinging .
I get that welded.
We end up leaving at 10 this morning only 30 hours late .
The traffic was horrendous and we end up at our nights stop ln Molten near Scotch Corner at 7.30.
Now the water pump keeps fusing.
Happy days.

Sorry Paul, just seen your post. I drove north yesterday from Essex and it too me an extra 2hrs due to cap traffic.
I've got my dog at the vets this morning and work to do on my Troll for my few trips away this month.
Hope you have a good road trip.

Patrolman, no worries, hope you're dog is o.k.

Newly, Took your advice and arrived at Glen Nevis campsite last night. Bloody good value stopping for 3 nights. And that drive round loch Lomond and through Glen Coe stunning .

Paultrol,

If you are planning on covering the whole coastline, then Sandwood Bay is a lovely quite spot, you have to walk in from near Kinlochbervie. Haven't been there for nigh on 25 years though, but I doubt it's changed much.

No ideas on campsites round there - based in Edinburgh myself. The Edinburgh festival(s) have just kicked off so this city is now completely mental and best avoided! I expect any campsites are busy/over charging just now too. If I had a driveway for the van, you'd have been welcome to stop here.

Hope you have a good time, enjoy the journey round and pack some serious midge repellent!

Barrbeast sent you P.M. Hope you received it.

Arcascomp. Thanks for the drive way offer but even if you had a driveway you wouldn't want 3 screaming kids and a sulky teenager on it. Got your message a bit late as now in John O Greats and heading for loch Ness in morning and Cairngorms for camp. But thanks for the link. We will avoid Edinburgh .

Hi Paultrol,
Hope your road on/off trip is going well. Our pooch is not good and we have cancelled overnight stays in the lakes but will still have the day at Coniston for the swim this Sunday.
If your timing allows this Saturday is available and the fuel tank is full
