Yet more lovely photos. I keep thinking of that song now … on the bonnie bonnie banks of Loch Lomond. Used to sing it in primary school 😆I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0

It will be a low spends day today. Going to attempt to find fuel again but that will be the extent of the spending today.
Breakfast will be a bacon and egg sandwich and tonight we are having rib eye steak with jacket potato, onion rings and garlic mushrooms.
We are heading out into the back of beyond today into Glen Etive. Probably wont have any phone or Internet access our there. It is stunning though, its where they filmed Sky Fall.
Hoping this rain eases up soon!1 -

The van must know there is a shortage, it was unexpectedly economical yesterday and did 30mpg 🤣🤣🤣1 -
Glen Etive sounds wonderful. We may get up to Scotland one day but is just so far from Cornwall.

The weather has been awful today. Heavy rain pretty much all day. We got down to Glen Etive, the drive down was amazing. But with the weather so rubbish and no chance of walking we have come back out and got a few more miles done so we have a shorter drive to the ferry to Skye tomorrow.
We are now parked at Neptune's Staircase on the Caledonian Canal for the night. We have Internet reception here 🤣🤣🤣
We had breakfast at the Drovers Inn this morning and we found fuel as well. Not the cheapest but we got some. Can go a couple of days before we need to start looking again.
