Our Fiat Ducato Campervan

Posted on May 8, 2021 by Ian

So we decided to sell our Hymer 640 primarily due to lockdown, as the European travel restrictions mean we will be touring the Scottish Highlands instead of Europe and we felt the Hymer was too large for what we will be doing. So we’ve bought a Fiat Ducato campervan and had our first weekend away in Moffat.

We are now looking forward to touring the Scottish Highlands in the summer, and then touring Europe when that’s allowed.

We also have the advantage that we can keep our campervan on our drive and so we plan on getting away more often now.

North Ledaig, Oban

Posted on October 3, 2020 by Ian

So we spent four days at North Ledaig, near Oban. We’ve been here many times over the years and we love it here. You can’t beat this view from Hylda’s windscreen…

The pitches are all staggered so almost everyone has a view of the sea. The drone picture below shows the site layout quite well.

It’s Scotland so we get a lot of rain, but the sunsets are spectacular here –

The water in Ardmucknish Bay is crystal clear

Oban airport is adjacent to the campsite, so you can also watch light aircraft if that interests you. The video captures most of what North Ledaig and Ardmucknish Bay has to offer, there’s also forest walks accessed from nearby Benderloch. This is around fifteen minutes walk from the campsite, along the paved cycle track.

Permission to fly my drone was granted by Oban airport.

Aerial Views of the Esk Estuary

Captured some aerial views of the Esk estuary, the village and the yachts moored whilst flying my drone. I flew over to this area to escape the Oyster Catchers.
