Travelling to Skye

Today was a day of driving and admiring the views on the way to Skye. No photography was planned although Rob did stop at one point to try and capture reflections in one of the Lochs. It was somewhat rushed though as he wanted to get to a camp site on Skye late afternoon to have the best chance of getting a place. There were hundreds of camper vans en-route and there were surely not as many as this when Rob and Julie toured Scotland. They were all over the place and all, pretty much, seemed under-powered and crawled up the slightest hill. They all seemed bigger than ever too and were flavoured with all nationalities ... obviously Brits, but Dutch and German in abundance. The odd few Italians as well ... a long journey from Italy to Scotland.

The good news of the day was the weather forecast was wrong and it improved steadily the nearer Rob got to Skye. It was blue sky and sunshine upon arrival with clear views across the mountains. Brilliant ... no pitching a tent in the rain.Read more
