Thursday 30 May

Idyllic as it was, the wind again encouraged us to move on. However we felt that, despite the cost, this was a place we'd love to come back to. Whilst servicing the van, we realised the site was also the starting point for a popular walking trail into the Cuillin Mountains and many people were taking advantage of the fine weather. This was also evident on the road back out where it seemed every available foot of parking space had been taken up with hikers cars. But at least they kept the passing places free.

Much as we were enjoying ourselves, we had commitments at home and thus we had already resolved to head slowly south. Taking the road bridge we regretfully left beautiful Skye and crossed onto the mainland, where of course the scenery was quite different but no less attractive.
Lunching in a wild camping spot, we decided Oban was a good target for tonight, as long as we had enough fuel to get there (Tesco fuel voucher - remember it?) alas entering Fort William the warning light came on so a stop at a reasonably priced service station (we had seen some outrageous prices) to fill up. Then just down the road was the obligatory woollen mill where we paused for last minute prezzies.

On checking the map we noticed a Caravan Club site at Bunree, just down the road. This site features on the main page of the CC website and looked very attractive - but don't use a satnav to find it..... Although the sign said "Full" we thought we'd try anyway and were delighted when the warden allocated us their "spare" pitch as we only wanted one night. I have to say that we haven't ever (yet) been turned away from a Caravan Club site, despite what the critics of their system might say.

Beautiful evening, so chairs out and enjoy it while it lasts.
