Hi all,we are hoping to go to Skye next May,from the M74 should I take M8 via Erskine Bridge orA82 from Jctn 17 M8?. Any help or other ideas would be very welcome, many thanks.
thankyou alanEd
Usually a lay by just out of town or even in town if we can. A quick stroll around the shops. Plenty of places doing the Scottish Bridies etc. We try and get a homemade haggis too which is dead easy to cook in the caravan.
Cheers

Hi Edhello ally,
do you run the c&cc site, if so we are venturing up there on april. when we travelled from wakefield west yorks up to fort william we did the stirling route, i did this on the advice of alot of fellow caravanners, and as i recalled we did the loch lomond route to oban on one occasion without the van on the back, and it was the coaches coming in the oposite direction that concerned me more than anything, so i chose to go the stirling route and it was fine,we cant wait to come to skye, we ar stopping off at fort william again for one night, then heading up on my favourite route up to skye, we did this last time without the van, as we left it at5 fort william and drove up for the day, and passed eilean donan castle, exceptional scenery. we are hoping to find somewhere to live when we come up, thats the purpose of the journey, oh dear i need to go now. its too long to wait till april.regards ED

We go up the A82 with our van regularly and although the north end of Loch Lomond is narrow in places, as long as you are careful it's not too bad. The scenery is stunningPlease do not go the route up the A82 Loch Lomond ! It is not just coaches that are a hazard, it is a dangerous road to drive on a good day. Another serious hazard is the logging trucks that use it like a race track. Be safe.
Kind regards
James
