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!

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

Great place

We camped there one January, nice isnt it?

Agree Mull is a beautiful place we were there in June this year. Would definitely go again
