I'm setting off now from what was once called London, I'll be stopping off at Burscough (Lancs) for a MOT then after a few hours kip I'll drive overnight to Glencoe. I'll be in my 51 plate silver Hilux and will possibly park at the far end of the site in the trees next to the river. If it's quiet I may park closer to the toilet block. Looking forward to meeting a few other foul-weather campers/crafters.

Just off the phone to a couple of friends that live in Glencoe and the weather is looking good for the weekend, skiing is excellent at the moment!!!!!!
All being well, I should be there before 5pm.
Do you want me to bring a chute? does the Red Squirrel mind?
