@4x4 jokerSkipness castle, and lunch looking out to Isle of Arran.
Managed to spot a sea otter running along the rocks, just wasn’t quick enough to snap it.
Also bumped into a lovely local who offered me the use of there washing machine and bath, not sure what she was implying!

Beech Croft Farm campsite.Cycled the Monsal Trail from Wyedale to Bakewell (and back). Great weather and fabulous views. Staying at Beech Croft Farm campsite - really nice small site with excellent facilities. Power, Water and TV at each pitch. Well positioned for walking Chee Dale Gorge and cycling the Monsal Trail.

Lazy afternoon having some fun on Google maps trying to figure out where you were parked up on Jura @4x4 joker . No roads on the west coast of Jura that I could see. Then I twigged you were probably on the Kintyre peninsula looking towards Jura, not on Jura. Maybe somewhere near Seal Point?The other night watching the sunset across the water from Jura.
Lots more on instagram : bluemerleandthejoker View attachment 89884
Was going to say looked more like from Kilberry or up that way. The A83 down the west side of Kintyre is a proper 2 lane road with white lines down the middle.
For real fun try the road up to Kintyre lighthouse.
Everywhere is empty and shut at the mo, only the brave out and about very few campers.Even the B842 is considerably better than it used to be & seem to be a lot less mad max wannabe logging drivers.
The food whether takeaway or eat in at The Glen Bar on the B842 at Carradale is highly recommended.
Its not much different in the middle of summer.Everywhere is empty and shut at the mo, only the brave out and about very few campers.
Got some local seaweed soap from Carradale post office/shop
So where’s your first adventure in the new van going to be ? Don’t forget to post some pics as not many do with there GCIts not much different in the middle of summer.
