Day 5. Isle of Skye

Today we woke up to strong winds and rain next to the sea front so decided to move on, we are touring the west side of skye today. We decided to visit the famous fairy Pools, this involved abit of a hike from a very expensive car park, as soon as we were booted and ready to go the wind picked up, we braved it anyway and Maddy enjoyed wearing her new rain jacket. We hiked to the pools which were flowing well but not as pretty as they could have been on a sunny day, but it was fun all the same.
After a lovely 1 pan full English breakfast, we headed north west towards our next park up, hopefully another coastal one as we want to see what the vans like in 50mph winds overnight, may be a silly quest but having fun all the same!
We drove for about an hour to our next stop off point. The road was more like a beaten track, with huge potholes everywhere and quite a drop on the left side. After creeping up the track slowly, our phone notified us to say we had reached the park up spot. Unfortunately, it was a boggy feeding area for cows, really not suitable for a camper.
James turned the camper around like a boss and we headed back up the track, to find a tiny little pull in just big enough for a camper. This was our spot for the night!
It was super windy and rainy, but we loved it. It's so relaxing sitting in the warm campervan with a cup of tea listening to the weather outside.
We took Maddy out for a short walk and then cooked a stir fry for supper.
After having a good tidy up, we spent a few hours playing rumicub and uno- with a few beers of course.
We climbed into our comfy bed and started to watch a film on Netflix but we both fell asleep and woke up at 3 due to the sound of the stormy weather outside. A great park up, middle of no where!Læs mere
