Yup, Perfect! I'll be there again in Sept! Sat and watched the deer down the bank whilst waiting for the sun to go down. Amazing place.

Sykesy, if you're still thinking of camping near Loch Lomand on Wednesday night I'm staying here, If you're passing and you fancy meeting up........

Cheers.

Hi Cocker,

I'm going to be camping on Skye Thursday night and will then ride over to Applecross, late morning. Maybe we could catch up somewhere before riding on to Ullapool?

Cheers
