We left Eyemouth and travelled up to Dunbar where we stayed on the Shore Road Car Park, hoping, without success, to get a tour of the Belhaven Brewery (Fully Booked) so no images!

Moved on one of the wettest days of the trip, round to Burntisland. The formerly informal overnighting here has been formalised with about 10 pitches marked for overnighting for MH's with a £5 donation requested. They aren't big pitches but about four are suitable for coachbuilts...

Moved on next to The Falkirk Wheel.
They have spent a bit of money on this facility since our last visit, with spaced pitch markings, new tap and refuse bays, about 4 EHU points (as yet inoperative)

Shame about the satellite dish!!
 
Someone in their Motorhome thoroughly enjoying a prime position in the centre of Porthleven this afternoon.
Talking to a couple of shop owners, he had stayed all night and all day and apparently planning to stay again overnight!
For anyone not knowing Porthleven, it is a narrow main road running alongside the harbour, with very few parking bays or restrictions. There is room for cars to park on an angle, so by this ‘selfish’ individual taking up approx 3 spaces, oh, and also his deckchair behind his van, has caused a l certain amount of disbelief from locals. Especially when there is a car park suitable for large M/h’s very close by at only £2 all day!
I hope this is not a funster.
It’s inconsiderate people like this, that we could all do without.
Unbelievable!

Tried the 'Stay the Night' site at Braeval but it was very wet underfoot so got a hard standing, non electric pitch at Cashel Campsite on Eastern side of Loch Lomond, just past the C&CC site at Millarochy. £18 per night.

They are a couple of Irish lads paddling a pair of kayaks from Dublin to Istanbul by sea, river and canal. 5000 miles in 5 months for a Childrens Cancer Charity

Good Craic and a nice donation!
