    Six Days in Scotland.

    My wife and I have just returned from 6 days' camping in Ayrshire at the same site as we stayed at last time. My wife was so impressed with the site she wanted to return. Unfortunately we were not so lucky with the weather or the fact that my wife picked up something which kept her in bed the first day and limited our activities for the next 2. The first 2 days were not a great loss as the wind and cold were very noticeable. Our tent however was not going anywhere with 76 pegs in. Click image for larger version.
