Van Repairs and Fort George

Day 4 - May 28th

After being treated to a good 3-4 days of above average temperatures and sunshine, Scotland turned to its good old self and turned grey and slightly wet.

The reason for us being in Findhorn was for Mum to continue her ‘spiritual journey’ and visit the local Findhorn Community Centre.

While we left mum with her spiritual friends, Claire and I headed off to a local hardware store to get some materials to repair the leak in our water tank, which was leaving us with a couple of inches of water in the cabin after we used the sink. Luckily the repair was quite simple and just cost us a .69 pence roll of Teflon tape.

Our wild camping site in Fort George with seaside view.


We then headed towards Fort George, which turned out to be an actual working fort. Unfortunately, we missed the huge sign stating ‘No Civilian Vehicles’ and managed to scare a few security guards as we drove in at a million miles an hour with a rather large white van.

Nonetheless, the security guard proceeded to insult us about our stupidity (granted really) and my driving. We then headed back the way we came, to end up parking in Fort George Town on the side of the street with another sea view, albeit next to a petrol station with a number of old pieces of heavy machinery.

Ahh….the joys of Wild Camping.
