Campsite, NC500, UK

NC500 2020 Day 3

We left Loch Lochy heading too Loch Ness, we arrived at Fort Augustus and found a great car park with Motorhome bays that cost us £3.40 for 4 hours.

We had a lovely walk through the village and decided we would take a Loch Ness cruise with CruiseLochNess, it was absolutely brilliant at £15 per adult and dogs were welcome.

After a browse around the shops buying a few souvenirs we headed to Invermoriston Falls. Lovely free car park with a great walk through the woods to the falls themselfs.

We then headed to our overnight stop of Fortrose Bay Campsite, £22 without EHU, £25 with, All emptying facilities with amazing views on the beach over the water.

NC500 2020 Day 2

After a very long drive we finally arrived in Scotland YAY

WE ARE HERE

The Satnav decided to reroute us due to heavy traffic, although I feel it actually added a few hours to our journey we did see some very nice sights.

It was again getting late, we were originally going to stay in the Foristry Commission car park at Glengarry as they have opened a lot of them up for over night stays for 2020

But as we started our journey along the Lochs we spied a lay-by stopover on the very edge of Loch Lochy with some Motorhome’s already parked, we slipped in and had a great view overlooking the water.

Amazing view to wake up to.

NC500 2020 Day 1

We started from Bournemouth, very excited about our 2 weeks touring the NC500 in the Motorhome, It’s something my wife Karen has always wanted to do so we thought we would get on with it during the Covid Restrictions restricting our European travels.

Our first stop was a CAMC stop at The Lodge, Red Hill Lane, Halmer End, Newcastle-under-Lyme, ST7 8AX.

Just off J16 of the M6

A nice CL with grass and hard standing, lovely views, well laid out and pleasant owners, we were met on arrival and shown to our pitch, it was late and dark so we settled in for the night.

£12 a night without EHU or £15 with, toilets and showers (closed for Covid) all waste emptying and fresh water if required.
