We left Luss behind at about 10 and headed for our most northerly point, the Cairngorms. This wasn’t going to be a northerly drive at all more of an eastern one, but with Loch Ness and Inverness within range, we decided that as we were here, we’d go for it. So we carried on along the A82 following it all the way to Inverness. The road follows a couple of Lochs, Loch Lochy (which we decided was named in a pub after a few) and of course Loch Ness, which we stopped next to, to have an appreciate.
We had a brief wander around Inverness, Toby purchased a large Nerf Gun and we restocked at Tescos. Then we set off south towards our next stop in the Cairngorms.
The closer we got to our stop the prettier the scenery got but the weather didn’t. In fact there was a full on torrent when we arrived. We were escorted to our pitches which were a distance apart, and Rob was informed that as his van didn’t have a side window in the rear (behind his bulkhead) he wasn’t allowed to be on a pitch and would either have to stay in our van or they’d lend him a tent. The weather was horrendous meaning a tent was out of the question and we decided that he could stay with us for that night and play it by ear from there.
We’re all cosy and safe and warm, Rob is understandably incensed at the campsites stupidity and lack of advertising this fact on their website, but they are adamant and rules is rules.
Hopefully tomorrow will have better weather.
