Hi all,
just back from our October break. Eleven nights in three great sites, all for different reasons.
First two nights at Lomond woods site in Balloch,(Glasgow)
Great for access to Glasgow, went to see a musical, Guys and Dolls, not my cup of tea but herself and the kids enjoyed it. Shopping next day at the Braehead Centre, again not my cup of tea but..... Explored a bit around Balloch, Loch Lomond side, great part of the country.
Off south to Silloth next for six nights at Stanwix Park site. Very quiet as most other schools not on holidays yet, which of course has its good points, but it just felt a bit too quiet. Kids loved the site though. Swimming pool,bowling alley,ammusements, kids club for the wee one etc.. Very clean site and really friendly staff (family run mostly i think)
Toured the Lakes, wonderful scenery.
Back up North of the border to Oban for the last three nights, via a quick stop at Gretna. No, the wife didn't want to renew our vows, she saw the Retail Outlet from the motorway. (plenty of space to park if anyones interested), just follow coach/caravan signs.
Stayed at the CC site in Benderloch (North Ledaig).Again some amazing scenery on the road from Crianlariach throuh to Connel. This site is a real cracker for anyone thinking of going to this part of the country. The views at sunset are amazing. I just wish i was a better photographer!
Oh well, back to reality now. Just enough time to de-gunge the outfit, put it in for service, and pack it away till next time off at Easter,
Gavin.
