Return

This year's destination was Scotland. We came there by crossing the Northsea by DFDS ferry, from IJmuiden to Newcastle-Upon-Tyne - most travel done overnight - and driving straight to Milngavie the next morning. Milngavie is a Glasgos suburb, where the West Highland Way Long Distance Footpath starts. We intended to walk that, up to Fort William and then climb Ben Nevis, and after that, visit the Isle of Skye, the Cairngorms of another part of Scotland.
Reality however, forced us another schedule, so we adjusted our plans on-the-fly. We had to abandon the West Highland Way after two days, due to lack of accomodation, so we had to skip about 30 kilometres but finis hed just the same - but only after we climbed Ben Nevis.
When done, Skye was said to be overcrowded so we went to Mull instead. The Cairngorms were a bit too far to get back to Newcastle in time so we skipped that too, for another visit, and headed to the Borders - between Edinburgh and Newcastle, the land of the four abbeys of King David I, and of sir Walter Scott. We stayed just south of Jedburgh - on an nearly empty campingsite.
