Hi Lyn

We have a week at north Ledaig every year, We live in Perth so only 2 hours away for us. The site is 8 miles from Oban. We walked to Oban this year in 2 hrs 45 min. and took the bus back. Bus every hour and stops outside the sight. ( into and from Oban).

If cming from the south I woukd suggrst come up ro Stirling and then through Callander to Lochernhead, Crianlarich, Tyndrom and onto Oban. Much better than Loch Lomand. If you are goimg to North Ledaig book early and request a front pitch. This gives a great view over Mull with no one in front of you. They are very good at meeting your request if they have enough notice.

lyn,

I have only just read your posts. I would like to offer deep sympathy for your loss.

It must have been the most terrible shock for you and your family.

I imagine it is very early days yet, for you to think about caravanning. I lost my husband in Dec 2006 and I now caravan alone, with my dogs. I was fortunate, as I used to tow when my husband was alive, however,we hadn't caravanned for about 8 years. About a year after he passed away, I bought myself a small van, had a motor mover put on it and away I went!

I toured Scotland over a 4 week period in May this year, I found other caravanners and wardens very helpful. It was great!

When you feel up to it, I would say 'go for it'

Best wishes

Linda

It is only the top end of A82 that is difficult, take A82 to Tarbet, then A83 to Inveraray, thro' arch onto Dalmally road and onto Oban from there, especially if coming up M6 from the west, easy run and quieter roads!
