Fifth or Sixth visit and will return again

Our yearly and sometimes more often visit to Brora. As reported earlier the signage is not great, the Dalcharm road avoids the tight bridge but does take you over the railway with a risk of bottoming and via a twisty single track road with no passing places - fine if nothing coming in opposite way. Site itself - Fantastic warm welcome from the wardens that were stellar in their duties - plus friendly and ready for a chat - great attention to detail - watched them weeding as they went about other duties. Toilet block - immaculate but is starting to show its age. Wifi - useless unless you are next to the hotspot - why (like a number of Scottish sites) are there no signal repeaters, especially on sites that are so busy such as this one. This brings us to the NC500 - oversold and now becoming a motorway on a single track road - downside for the sites around it are that many are now becoming one night stopovers - great if that suits you, but does mean the ambiance of the site is changing with less members staying for 5 days or more and therefore less social interaction. It also means if you want a longer booking get in early as some sites are showing as full for one or two nights in a week limiting availability to book for a longer stretch. From the site easy access to likes of Dornoch, Wick, Tain, Lairg(awesome tweed shop), plenty walks in the area Brora has an increasing number of local shops/cafes and a well stocked Coop. Clynleish Distillery always worth a visit, though the Old Pultney tour in Wick is highly recommended Brora beach is just miles of sand with binoculars needed to see anyone - fantastic
