Correct me if I'm wrong but is that North Scotland on the tourist trail, if so I was parked up not to far from there several years ago..We wanted to stop for a few days it looked so lovely but time was against us, we may get back there this year and i will make time this time around..

Is it just along from Durness?

I would love to say yes but to be honest i don't know..There are so many lovely places up there this just could be one of them.....I recall a 'Hear you are' board in the car park, the picture isn't showing one but the bay looks very simular with the golden sands..

Give that man a Blue Peter Badge........................LOL

The day that picture was took was as Hot As Hell......30C...... and not a breath of wind.

Just afterwards another van came in, got chatting to them and they asked if there was anywhere they could buy some
more " SD Cards " for their camera because they`d filled the 2 cards they already had......................LOL

It was their first time in Scotland and was absolutely " Gobsmacked " at the scenery and had no idea the North Coast
was anything like this.

Hiya Rob,

you are very close, it`s just a little further east near to Sangobeg just around the corner from Loch Eribol.

I`ll see if i can dig out some more to " Test You ".............................LOL

Gulp! We only went to Durness and Balnakiel although we did drive a few miles East and West before heading down to Applecross. All of it was stunning!

 

[Wooie1958]

Here we go again, struggling to find a spot, these were the day before,spent the night and the only one there......Brilliant !

A beautiful spot. I won't spoil things for Robmac by naming the location, but I spent a night about 3/4 mile to the west of there, in early October. Can't wait to get back up there again!

selfish longways bad name for gb owners

The same thing was happening at Grand Fort Phillippe near to Gravelines in France. People parked longways along the car park sea front.
So the council marked out proper M/H parking bays and a good size they are!
I have been told that if you are not in a proper bay, they sometimes move you on.

:camper :
GUESS which nations were the worst offenders /was? GB ...
I have camped there for decades and wondered how long before someone would take action. Problem is that is also a marina where boat owners pay for parking no wonder they complained.....bitterly. :boat:

That's not a place called Sand is it? (couple of miles north of Applecross).

Nope, it's on the very north coast of Scotland. If it helps, the place that I slept nearby was outside a big old graveyard!

Surely not Balnakiel. if so the tide is a long way further out than when we were there. (mind you that was a small graveyard).

Getting warmer! A few miles east of there as the eagles fly!

PS The photo's are looking inland, in a southerly (ish) direction

hey rob thought they where on aBout my parking lol

 

[Robmac]

Go on put me out of my misery!

Meanwhile here's an easy one for you!

 

[ivecotrucker]

Hi Rob, now that's what I call scenery ..... pity I don't recognise it.

 

[scampa]

It's on the causeway across the estuary, just east of Tongue.

Google Maps

OOPS, Sorry, I mean just WEST of tongue!!

 

[Robmac]

Lovely, I'm heading up there again in about 3 weeks, so I will try it out before heading back to Applecross. We were last up there in November when we stayed at Sango Sands, (on Wooie's recommendation). Funny how when you're up there you forget about the rest of the world. I love it!
