Wolfgang goes to Scotland

We’re off! We drove from Barbon to Ardrossan, a journey of 180 miles, arriving in plenty of time to fill up with diesel and to fill ourselves up with tea at Asda before queuing for the ferry on Brodick on the Isle of Arran. The CalMac (Caledonian MacBrayne) ferry was large and spacious with lots of different seating areas. The journey took 55 minutes.
At Brodick, we turned left and headed south taking in Lamlash, Kildonan, Lagg and then up the west coast to Blackfoot Water, taking in Arran Aromatics along the way. At Blackfoot Water, we turned east across the middle of the island, back to Brodick and then north to Lochranza and our campsite. The weather, although showery, misty and driech allowed us glimpses of sea and coastline, all of which was scenically very attractive. There are many attractive harbours, bays, villages, craft shops etc.
We were fortunate to be able to set up camp whilst it wasn’t raining - always a bonus and even enjoyed cooking and eating al fresco - before the next band of mist and rain appeared! The campsite is located at the foot of three Fells (to use a Cumbrian term).
We are now sung, warm and dry inside Wolfgang. Let’s see what tomorrow brings.Leggi altro
