Please can anybody advise where I could take a rest break on my journey up to Dallahulish Farm CL just north of Oban. I’m towing solo from North Lancs with an overnight stop at Strathclyde Country Park. The route I’m taking is A82 along Loch Lomond then A85. Are there lay byes along the road where I could stop for a rest break and quick dog walk?Ive had a look on Google Earth but it’s not really obvious.

Any suggestions welcome.

Thanks.

Gill

Far,far too many motorcaravans these days.

Correction, there are far too many selfish motorhomers who think it is their given right to park up for the night anywhere they feel like it irrespective of the wishes of local people, or the law, or of the damage done to the environment, or of ruining the very thing they have travelled to enjoy. 

To the poster above you, why on earth would you expect this club to be in favour of promoting one night stops or wildcamping when it is in their interests to encourage us all to use club sites and pay our site fees?

There is nothing special about motorhomers. We do not deserve special treatment and spending mega bucks on a MH does not bestow the right  to do what we please. We who are responsible take what is on offer in an area or go elsewhere. Those who are irresponsible cause problems.

Just for once we both agreecool.As mentioned elsewhere I have cut short a few days away (sister in law and wife conspiracy!) due to the numbers of hired motorcaravans being used by people who are unable to read,unable to consider others and the sudden increase in traffic the only upside was no coaches!
