been a while, but having fallen out of love with the caravan (well towing it), were back with a campervan, and amazingly, were coping just fine.
Joined as we love using CL Sites, and been on a couple already.
The new adventures, start here.....

Posted on 16/10/2021 19:54 by nelliethehookerWhatever, I’ve always maintained that a hire car is best for most folk when MH-ing in Cornwall.
Would you please include Devon in that comment, TW, as we've been down some "rather" narrow roads in that country today.
Welcome back Pitch, hope you continue to enjoy lots more CLs.
Posted on 16/10/2021 19:59 by TinwheelerAh, yes. The South Hams specialises in them😀
Posted on 17/10/2021 19:01 by nelliethehookerThey're not much better in East Devon either, perhaps not with unforgiving rock wall but very high hedges obstructing ones view, and overgrown with branches and brambles.
Posted on 17/10/2021 19:06 by TinwheelerMmm, single track roads in Scotland are much easier as you can see ahead. 🙂

On Lewis with Harris, apart from the spine road, most of the other roads are single track, but there are so many passing places. You can usually see the next passing place from the previous one, and folk seem really understanding on the road. However, the sites are not generally up to the same standard as CAMC sites. We've never taken the van across - it seems more economical to hire a cottage for the week....
Welcome back, Piltch... Look forward to hear how you are getting on with it all.

Some of the sites are very good, David, even if they're not CAMC clones😄.
In my opinion, like the islands themselves, the sites get better the further south you travel. I was blown away by the standards of some of the facility blocks.
Let me know if you ever want info on the sites we used.

Thanks TW. If we were going across for a couple of weeks or more then it may be worthwhile taking the 'van, but we've tended to just do 6-7 day stints. Against you've paid the extra ferry costs and the fuel to tug the caravan, it's probably more economical to hire a cottage. I'll certainly be asking for advice, should we go across for a longer period. We've also tended to go Spring or Autumn to avoid midge season.
I do love the Hebrides, though. As you may remember, our eldest daughter and son-in-law moved to Lewis/Harris a couple of years ago.... they love it there....
