• Day 3. Loch Katrina to Glencoe

    November 20, 2023 in Scotland ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C

    This morning we woke to blue skies and autumn colours, such a beautiful time of year to be up here. We stopped at another loch for services and saw some crazy people swimming 🥶🥶. We have a very scenic drive this afternoon, weaving between the mountains to our next park up in Glencoe. It's so nice cruising along at 40mph without a care in the world and having everything we need on board makes it even better.
    We managed to find a park up 12 miles off the main road, the road to the park up was very narrow and quite bumpy, but the scenery was amazing. The look of concentration on Grace's face was comical, but we got there in one peice, only hitting one pothole on the way.
    After about 40 mins on the single track road, we had made it to our new park up for the night, which was right next to Loch Etive in Glencoe. We had managed to get the best parking space before all the other campers drove in for the evening.
    We had enough day light left to take Maddy on a nice walk around the side of the Loch, taking our time and skimming stones along the way.
    Once the light had gone, we took the opportunity to use our new firepit! We sat outside drinking hot chocolate and warming our hands over the fire for an hour or so, it was lovely.
    Once back at the van, we dried Maddy off and put her towel robe on to keep her warm.
    We had a couple of beers whilst James cooked a delicious masala curry. After the washing up was done, we sat and chilled for a while before taking Maddy out again for her night time walk.
    We had a cuppa in bed and started watching "A Man Called Otto".
