Arran here I come

[caledonia]

I had to laugh. Some little Spanish camper came in last night and ridiculously decided to squeeze in between us last night just as it got dark. He's gonna get a shock any moment now if Frilly Billy decides to climb out of his van.

Get some pics. It’s raining today so he may have his dirty stained overcoat on

Bridgend is our favoured camp site on Arran if not wilding, the owners are really pleasant and helpful

Yes it’s an excellent site, but sadly the lady who built it up passed away this year.

It should remain open though.

Bridgend campsite is situated on the west side of the island, and the two times we were there we really enjoyed our stays, and the welcome we received on arrival. Sad news about Christine, RIP.

Bridgend Campsite Arran

Located on the Isle of Arran, we offer a relaxing holiday destination and the opportunity to enjoy our stunningly beautiful island. Arran is known as Scotland in miniature, with its rolling green pastures in the south, dramatic mountains in the north and a stunning coast line of quiet beaches.

Oh yeah I wish I had thought about that. I wouldn't normally have taken the piss but he was clearly an exhibitionist. Both him and the little Spanish van cleared off this morning. I'll brush up on some Rocky Horror stuff just in case we meet again.

Bit of a count down now. Leaving a week on Saturday.

Lovely day now after a stormy night and grey and wet morning.

Heres a tricky one that only a true Arranite will get. Where?

 

[Robmac]

Looking over towards Goatfell?

Quite frankly Barry there are lots of places on Arran that look very similar to your photo. It could be the hills and forrest above Kildonnan were loch Garbad sits. It could also be the Clauchland hills between Brodick and marganaheglish.

Nope but I included the bike as it's clearly on or at the edge of a road.

You should get it now with these next two.

Is it Kilpatrick south of blackwaterfoot, last guess.

No. It's Glen Rosa not far from Brodick. The second picture is the pretty little campsite by the stream. Well pretty until it floods and they have to evacuate everyone.

I dropped Michelle off there earlier today as she loves the walk up to the blue pools.

 

[barryd]

An easy one? Just an hour ago.

I have walked from Sannox through Glen Sannox over the Saddle into Glen Rosa 3 times Barry.
And yet I did not recognise it.

 

[Carrerasax]

Coming the other way maybe Bill. Michelle has often wondered about that walk but as yet has not attempted it. Couldn't find much online about it.

Eh? Probably better than the other stuff they sell in there.

 

[Fisherman]

Ok Barry where on Arran where these taken from.

taken from.

 

[barryd]

Well my hill walking days are long behind me since my knees Packed up but purely by deduction of it being the only one we never did im going to say it's loch tanna from Beinn Bharain (probably spelt wrong).

Forgot to say the last one of mine was the Ross road this evening. Always been dreadful but they have been resurfacing it for some time. It was supposed to open tomorrow afternoon at 4pm but they took the signs down tonight while we were there so we may have well been the first up it. Only went as far as that pic but if they have done the entire 9 miles it will be a fabulous ride now.
