They have there own tent and I thought maybe the pool would be good for the 2 year old. To be honest I don't think they'll be up for camping in August but as I say, she's scary so I'm not saying that to her. Potted heid, best memory of Blair Atholl is watching the salmon swimming upriver to spawn. That in itself was amazing but as a few spectators were walking away from the river 2 guys were walking down to it carrying fishing rods, the muttered abuse they received amused me no end. Mindi, I've spoken to a few people recently who've admitted to eating spat out chewing gum. Nice to know there's more than one manky bam around. So between Phart's poo, my tick, your slater and the gum picker uppers I think we could start a club and we could be on board of directors. HQ in Panama.

Wouldn't be me anyway. my wee fella spend 6 weeks with us in a campervan (the very one in my avatar) when he was 6 weeks old.. we also had his big sister who was 18 mnths. The wee one was easy peasy as he was just papped on the pap and fell asleep. Camping with bairns is the easiest holiday in the world... we have 3 now and spend at least 8-10 weeks a year in a campervan...

Anyway, I like campsites and holiday parks, but it would always be in a caravan whilst the wee one is really young. And I was specifically talking about tents, I could just about handle a campervan I think, although defenitely wouldn't be my first choice.

Stocky I think a camper van is a bit better, cooking or even just boiling kettle indoors, proper roof over your head and suchlike. Everyone to their own though and the families I met weren't only having great holidays but were lovely company too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people are enjoying themselves then who am I to say anything. Just wouldn't do it myself is all. Edited April 6, 2016 by Angus_Young .

G-Man Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Again, I agree with you and for that reason, even though you've not admitted to eating used chewing gum or biting into excrement or creepie crawlies, you can join the board of our Minging Club, HQ in Panama.

Tents would be different I think, Wife was on Maternity I had 8 weeks off , so we drove to La Manga for 6 weeks Holiday . Although there was 2 ft of snow the night we camped in Madrid on the way back. We bought a campervan when we realised Bairns were on the way, never regreted it, if its raining where we are, we just move to where its not We thought it would be a lot easier than coping with airports and planes etc Plus we can go 20 miles up the road to a campsite at Loch Lomoind and they think they are away on a big holiday the freedom you get is wonderful . Each to there own tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each to there own tho Ha fair enough bud, I only asked as it was an unusual amount of time away. I had about 6 weeks off myself, when my wee one was born, but I think the grannies would have killed us if we had buggered off. That's got to be a huge plus point with the campervan I suppose and I must admit I do like the idea of driving anywhere you fancy and to different places. I think possibly the cramped space puts me off, although granted I have little experience of actually doing it. We will be negotiating a flight to Portugal in September (wee girl will be 20 months) so see how that goes. So far it's been caravans in the UK, And my partner is a bit apprehensive about the airport. After it taking us 15 hours to get home from Cornwall last year I managed to sway her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking for somewhere around Stirling, most central place to stay, or maybe near Loch Lomond. The tent is pretty big so wanting somewhere where we can pitch and stay for 5-7 days. Ideally have electric hook up and good toilet/shower facilities. Its not camping if yoh have an electrical hook up, may aswell just get a caravan. Go wild canping, far more enjoyable.
