Val de Vesle Municipal site

Posted on September 15, 2022 by Ian

We then moved to a municipal camping site at Val de Vesel. We haven’t stayed in French municipal campsites before. We had ready they were basic although I really liked this one. We are quite self sufficient and we don’t use the site toilet block or showers.

The site is surrounded by farmland and the canal is nearby. There is very little amenities in the village so you need to come prepared with everything you need at this site.

There is an interesitng maze created in the corn field. This is next to an amusement park, but I’ve left that out of the images, on purpose.

Norfolk Broads

This video captures an overview of an overnight Britstop in South Kelvington, Yorkshire then West Runton, the Norfolk Broads, Bakewell and the Metal Bridge Inn Britstop near Carlisle.

We visited a few beaches, flew our drone a few times and captured some of the boating on the Nortfolk Broads.

Glencoe, Bunree and the Corran Ferry

On the home leg, we crossed the Ballachulish bridge and stopped at Glencoe to fly our drone whilst trying to do justice to this stunning scenery. Then we continued to the Caravan and Motorhome Club site at Bunree.

There’s some timelapse footage looking towards the west bank of Loch Linnhe and some footage of the Corran ferry from the air, and the campsite.

Plockton and Kyleakin, Skye

We visited Plockton, with Wendy tolerating the single-track roads. It’s really quite beautiful here as captured in the video below. On the way back we travelled over the Skye bridge again to take some photos of the bridge and Kyleakiin. The video below captures thiis.

Sands, Gairloch and Longa Island sunrise

Posted on July 2, 2021 by Ian

After a short drive from Kinlochewe to Loch Gairloch, some on single track roads, this footage captures Sands campsite, aerial views of the beach, Longa Island and an attempt at capturing the sunrise. Max and I had a 04:00 start to capture the sunrise so he features in the video too, running along the beach.

Stunning Ben Eighe and Spectacular Loch Maree at Kinlochewe, Highlands

Posted on June 30, 2021 by Ian

We stayed at the Caravan and Motorhome Club site at Kinlochewe and spent some time walking part of the path towards Ben Eighe and at the Loch Maree visitor centre.

Ben Eighe, Loch Maree and Kinlochewe CMC site,

The CMC campsite here is pleasant although it is hard standing everywhere, with large grey gravel. There is virtually no grass. Otherwise it is quite pleasant and tranquil.

The path towards Ben Eighe starts just outside the campsite, beyond the adjacent petrol station. It is an easy walk, at least as far as I walked, and the scenery is beautiful. I was luck with the brilliant weather.

The visitor centre at Loch Maree has plenty of information on the area. The loch is stunning with a pebble beach,

We spent two days at Kinlochewe and then travelled to Sands at Loch Gairloch.

Appin and Loch Greshornish, Skye

Travelling from North Ledaig to Loch Greshornish in Skye, we stopped off at Castle Stalker in Appin and then Eilean Donan castle so this post captures these.

Then the CCC campsite at Loch Greshornish in Skye

Took a trip to the Old Man of Storr hoping to fly my drone. It wqs cloudy at the summit as you will see in the video, and quite tricky to fly. However, as I headed back down conditions improved and I got some aerial footage.

Castle Stalker and Eilean Donan Castle

This post is a little out of sequence as I had not edited the video at the time, so this video captures some aerial footage of Castle Stalker and some images of Eilean Donan castle as we travelled between North Ledaig and Loch Greshornish.

There is no drone footage of Eilean Donan as drone flying is not allowed between the hours of 09:00 am and 6:00 pm.

Summer 2021 Adventure

Posted on June 26, 2021 by Ian

So whilst we still have European travel restrictions our summer adventure is travelling through some of the Scottish West coast – with the first stop being North Ledaig, Oban. We’ve been here many times over the years and were lucky to get a sea front pitch on this visit. A beautiful sea view with stunning sunsets.

Wait until the end for the sunset.

Culzean Castle

Posted on May 29, 2021 by Ian

We had a long weekend at the Camping and Caravanning Club site at Culzean Castle near Maybole, Scotland. We haven’t been here before yet it’s only about an hour’s drive from home. The CCC is a relatively small site with friendly wardens and beautiful views over the sea. We were lucky to get a pitch at the front, with views of Arran, the Holy Isle and the Ailsa Craig.
