The old bridge at matlock was damaged by the weight of the padlocks so people were asked to stop doing it. It started over 100 years ago and they are known as love locks ..together forever or everlasting love.
Likely excuse lol.
Maybe it was caused by overweight motorhomes or some were attaching millstones?
I always wondered why people did that.
You should be fine in the park n ride
Park and ride is great, usually a few vans there, cheap as chips and 10 minute train ride in to city centre. Can pay at the machine or use the ringo app. If you are arriving late you would be able to grab a spot at Musselburghs Fisherrow harbour which is a lot more scenic than the P&R. No trains but plenty buses will take you in to town.
We got home yesterday after a fantastic 3 weeks touring Scotland including the NC500.
so I didn't bother. Skye also had way more cars than motorhomes on it, most of whom are unable to thank for being allowed to pass. (W*nkers or thankers we referred to them as).
Actually, I think the bridge in question is at Bakewell in Derbyshire.
You post has prompted me to respond as I said I would to this thread after our trip last month.We got home yesterday after a fantastic 3 weeks touring Scotland including the NC500.
We didn't encounter any animosity towards us at all, everyone was happy to chat or just say hello. We didn't witness any poor practice from fellow motorhomers.
Everywhere we went was spotlessly clean with one exception, the Isle of Skye. The verges were littered with rubbish. I toyed with the idea of picking some up, but where the heck was I going to store a 10L ad-blue container
and their roads are a disgrace. Poteous Holeous!
On one section of the NC500 where there are passing places, some of the 'passing place' signs were missing off the poles. I counted 8 vehicles parked by a pole... all cars not a single MH or PVC. It was clearly still a passing place.
I've seen a photo and story posted on here previously about cheeky motorhomers hanging their washing on a line. I'd put money on this being a photo from Loch Carron, where the locals opposite the Loch, have no back garden and there were loads of lines full of their washing hanging up on the beach of the Loch. (Forgot to take a photo).
So, in a nutshell, we'd go back again in a heartbeat, we had a great time, with fabulous weather. If you're thinking of going, just go, and make your own mind up.
The number 30 bus through Niddrie AKA the Beruit bus. We lived in Musselburgh and hated when my daughters used it after a night out.Right next door to niddrie
A very affluent area of Edinburgh
Yes they had a few problems with buses windows getting bricked a while back .
Yes your correct it's the bridge leading from the car park.into Town
Apart from on Bonfire night! On that night.... stay away!
Greetin (no g) = crying. You can also use soor (sour) or torn (faced).
I'd put a bucket of water over his fire just now.
Toasting marshmallows?! How quaint. Obviously seen too many fu&&££g influencers posing by fire pits. Hope they burned his mouth.
Yea they've banned fireworks this year . Not sure how that will work .
You are absolutely correct . Mind you , having lived in Hawick, there will be worse things going on .
Until November 5th. I do travel through quite often. My father a long time ago new the owner of the old cinema there might have been called the County, one matinee I was in the balcony with 2 others, the owner at interval went on stage and asked the kids below to wave to us, lots of jeering and 2 fingers.
Yes…….having lived in Edinburgh for a number of years we decided to go back for a few days. Didn’t even think about Bonfire night.
That's not just Scotland that's universal in UK
Same in Spain.
We went up to the festival last year and stayed at Roslin which is on the site of Rosslyn Chapel (Dan Brown The Da Vinci Code).
