Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Enjoy guys!

We're off after tea to park near the Ben Lawers Car park (we don't think we're allowed an overnight stay there) but it looks like there is somewhere further up the road. Then planning to run the Tarmachan Ridge tomorrow. Long may the good weather continue!

Ms - I think you're right re. Ben Lawers, we wondered the same thing.

NE we are parked in the Ben Lawers car park. As we were driving up we saw several other vans and we checked and there are no notices saying you can't stay overnight. We've paid £3 and hopefully all will be well.

Too Much Water
I drove from Bristol to Exeter on the M5 around 11-12 midnight on Friday night.

I was surprised to see so many camper vans and caravans on the road at that time. I assume they can’t have been staying at a site as they’d arrive incredibly late. I guess a camper van could aim to arrive at a beach in time for a morning surf, but where would a caravan park itself for the night at that time?

Any ideas?

TMW - they used to park in lay-bys along the A30.

That's good to know MrsS I may well take advantage of that in the future. I think we were there a couple of years back and didn't know.

... TMW - we used to make the occasional early start for a day trip to Polzeath and they’d be bumper to bumper in every space between Exeter and Okehampton.

It was fine NE. The car park started filling up at 7am. We are still waiting on our friends to arrive from Stonehaven, they are aiming to get here for 9:15 so a very leisurely morning for us.
