We had a pitch on the Isle of Skye between 2 German vans. In was very sheltered in the raging storm overnight.Feeling small
We are travelling in Italy at the moment. Now we are ”stuck” in Moneglia, just outside the Cinque Terre. It’s so good we stayed for a week at the same camping which we never did before. It has all the beauty of Cinque Terre but not the hassle of all the tourists.

Hi Kave,We are travelling in Italy at the moment. Now we are ”stuck” in Moneglia, just outside the Cinque Terre. It’s so good we stayed for a week at the same camping which we never did before. It has all the beauty of Cinque Terre but not the hassle of all the tourists.
Very true. The scale, the grandness and vividness of the landscape here simply can not be captured by my photographs. It is a truly stunning place.Wow, amazing sunset, bet it looks even better with the naked eye.
It La secca yes. A bit rustic and lots of ants so buy some ant poison day 1. It has just a stair down to a stone beach and a 10min walk to Moneglia center with its sandy beach. Highly recommended.Hi Kave,
Can I ask what site that is please? We’re heading to that area at the end of August and looking for a site - been offered a spot at Camping la secca, is it that site or another one? If so then it looks much better in your photo than on the website! Would you recommend it?
Thanks,
Jez

Wild Cali'ing in Glen Etive on Saturday evening, started off beautifully with a nice breeze keeping most of the midges at bay, after a long day and a glass of wine we had an early night, eyes closing around 9.30 'upstairs', only to be woken by gale force winds and driving rain buffeting the canvass just past midnight.....
After a few minutes deliberation we decided it best to remove the topper and drop the roof, in the pitch black, getting absolutely drenched in the process haha. But we planned everything with military precision and were back in the downstairs bed 15 mins later, and a whole lot happier the roof was down and safe but I had to hang on to and pull inward the nearside side of the canvass as it came down to stop it getting entwined in the mechanism
Still worth it to wake up to the stunning views down the river and glen the next morning and breakfast in Gilbert a mile or so along the road over looking Glen Coe. Its what we hoped Cali Life would be and we are loving it.
