Northern Scotland: Services open in winter

Nesting Zombie said:
Hey Guys,
Yep, Have to say come the Frosts Some Fresh water tap outlets tend to be turned off as a preventative measure against them freezing.
So taking the opportunity to fill up with ‘SMALL’ amounts via a Bottle at Cafes, Marinas, Selected Toilets & alike can be beneficial to make your tanked water supply last longer.
On bigger fill ups Phone Campsites & Marinas & ask if they do a Service Visit (Black, Grey, Recyclable & General Waste disposal & Water Top up for a fee of between £5-£8 is often available).
I’ve not had any problems to date.

I’ve used this site many times during winter over the last 10 years. Shop on site, pub across the road from the campsite which serves excellent food, same owners as campsite.

Yeabut this is a "Wildcamping" forum innit wot's all this stuff about campsites, what are they?
 
If anyone is around the East ‘IV’ or North ‘AB’ post codes for the next week or 10 Days while I’m Shuffling about here. I’ve often got a surplus of water so could give 10-15lt away if you’re stuck.
I LOVE this time of year in Scotland. This was what I settled down to last night early evening.

Hi ya,
Yes, But only around Twice a week on board, OR if I wanted occasional Luxuries £5 at Sports Centres or Gyms & a Night on a Campsite every 14-18 Days works for me.
I tend to Wash in the Morning & Nights. I only use my Washing Machine in the Late Spring, Summer & Early Autumn Months, Rest of the time Using Revalution Machines to do Washing ESPECIALLY Bedding Changes & throughout winter months.

I agree, Scotland is a must in Winter and this January was the first time I really had problems. If I had anticipated it a bit better I could have managed anyway but kept going from one frozen spot to another because I wanted the isolation lol.

Should be heading back up between Christmas and New Year all being well :)
