Wild Camping on Mull

Well we're finally back from Mull. We had every season during the week, with the early part of the trip being the best for the weather. The ferries were on amber alert on Friday & we got home after a 13.5hr journey which included waiting in the reserve Que for over 5hrs. & eventually getting off the island on the 15:00 crossing which was the first ferry off the island that day :cry:


Hope you enjoy the slideshow ;) ;) ;)

The roads don't look so bad in those pictures Andy so I suppose it gets worse the further inland you get does it ?

They work OK don't they,
I don't do a lot of action shots, I'm better at landscapes but what else have you got Andy

Unfortunately, I can't take the credit for these photos. I just copied & pasted them from my mates FB page :)
The Island roads are basically just over a cars width with passing places. They twist & turn all over the place & can buck like a bronco :!:
Great for R4ally cars, not great for campers, unless your just doing about 10mph :cry:

Yes Mike, the odd bottle of Tobermory malt is normally in the cupboard :D
We fell in love with Mull several years ago & try to get back up there at least twice a year, to the point where we now have made some good friends up there & we can park on their driveways for nowt :P
We see all sorts of wildlife on every visit Otters, Sea Eagles, Golden Eagles, Stag etc etc the list goes on :!:

The truck will be in the workshop this week for an inspection, fingers crossed. Looks like it's gonna have to be a regular thing from now on :cry:
