mrs shanksi May 2021 3:22pm, 29 May 2021 12,355 posts	0 mrs shanksi 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!

mrs shanksi May 2021 10:27pm, 29 May 2021 12,357 posts	0 mrs shanksi 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 May 2021 3:22am, 30 May 2021 8,652 posts	0 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?

Northern Exile May 2021 7:59am, 30 May 2021 7,693 posts	0 Northern Exile 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.
