I'm looking for wild camping sites where I can keep the motorcycle very close by my tent pitch (for ease of unloading\loading and security).
I know of and can find many places for car camping, rough tracks and security not being much of a problem.
With the motorbike, rough and gravel tracks are a no-no as the bike is very much road biased, and I get fed up falling over .
I checked out a little of Galloway Forest Park Glentrool area a few days back, but some of the access tracks were just too rough, I spoke with a park warden and he very helpfully guided me to a few spots where it would be OK to take the bike to (but not a car), he was very understanding of bike users, the Galloway Forest is great for wild camping but so far I have not found any idyllic areas for motorbike camping, I would need more time to explore the park further, for anyone who does not know it, it is huge.
If any of you care to share any suitable sites, preferably West of Scotland and near river, loch or sea then that would be great, a wee bit of fishing would not go amiss either.
Quiet and peaceful spots under the clouds and away from the crowds is bliss.
Please PM me if you prefer.
Thanks,
