Our first wild camp on Mull

[millycat]

Had a really sucessful first wild camping trip to Calgary Bay.

After a year when it was beginning to feel like whenever I set foot in the van something else went wrong, this just made it all worthwhile

Fabulous! One of my favourite holidays was in the West of Scotland (Mull, Iona, Skye), it's such a beautiful location. How long were you there?

Hi Silky

We were only there for 3 nights sadly.

First night we stayed at a campsite in Craignure next to the ferry terminal, second night was at the lovely Calgary and third night we stayed with the in-laws who had hired a cottage near Salen. They came to visit us when we were at Calgary and were most surprised that we'd managed to negotiate all the single-track roads in the van. Nae bother!

Fantastic stuff.

Mull is my favourite place on earth

The site at Craignure is a cracking little place to stop for a night or two and the pub across the way serves wonderful food and nice beer, though I did once wild camp at LochSpelve, not that far from Strathcoil which was a hoot due to an unexpected rain storm and high winds which resulted in a bit of jiggery pokery to get the bus of the time back onto terra firma.

This was my berth at Craignure:



Due to relocating south from Glasgow, I can't get to the islands much now and that is not good for the soul

Well done!! The roads would concern me too - we went up there in a newish car rather than a 26 year old van, and even then there were some "challenging" parts. Oh and a few Aberdeen Angus who decided to sit in the middle of the single track roads too, just for sheer devilment I'm definitely tempted to give it a go next year though, a couple of us are thinking of heading up there in the May half term week, hopefully before the midges come into full force.

I do love it when you're the only people for miles around
