NC500 2020 Day 9

We left early as no phone connection heading south towards Ullapool, we stopped for a coffee on route in a little tearoom called “ The Elphin Tearooms”, nice coffee but a bit bleak inside.

Great View coming down into Ullapool.
So many amazing views out of every window.

We arrived in Ullapool and headed to Tesco car park, we needed to stock up and have a walk around the town, the lorry park adjacent to the Tesco car park takes plenty of Motorhome’s and is free.

On walking to Tesco we noticed a laundry service establishment just off to the left, we enquired and was amazed at the price of £10 a bag of washed, dried and even folded cloths, so popped back to the van and dropped that off while we had a walk around.

We then grabbed a coffee and some great scones from “The Tea Store” on the road parallel to the harbour road, headed back to the van and waited for the laundry to finish.

By the time that was all done it was time to heard to our stop for the night, a camp site we passed as we came down into Ullapool called Ardmair Holiday Park.

Great hard standing pitch overlooking the bay.

We paid £26.50 for a hard standing pitch with EHU per night, services include, CDP, waste emptying grill, fresh water fill up, showers (hot and free), toilets and a laundry room if you want it, shop at reception with a friendly host to give you all the info.

NC500 2020 Day 8

We left Kinlochbervie and carried on south along the west coast, no real agenda except driving, stopping to take photos and keeping an eye out for off site parking to stay overnight.

We did find a ruined castle, well worth a stop and cup of tea.

Ardvreck Castle

We picked a spot using SearchforSites (app) and started off on a winding road with good passing places.

We ended up at Loch Lurgainn, a very popular car park for walking up a stunning outcropping.

We had to wait for a space to get the Motorhome in but once settled it was very quiet and a lovely spot to spend the night.
