My friend and I are hoping to do WHW next year and my thought is take Vinnie it would mean some logistics as finishing the days adventure and bus/taxi back to van and drive it to the stop (or at end of day drive to the finish for the next day and taxi/bus back to precious day finish point) Question is how easy is it to find places to camp if not at a campsite?

Try park4night app and also check forestryandland.gov.scot to see if any permitted places fit the bill. Naturescot reserves often allow over night stops.

Rosehip Oct 2024 6:03pm, 19 Oct 2024 33,450 posts	Quote Pin Rosehip omg I am completely exhausted ! walked miles and miles round and around the show, Luckily for the bank balance, there wasn't a single van there I would trade in ours for. Lots that looked gorgeous, lots with new tech or off-road capabilities - but not the layout we like or quite a lot bigger, which doesn't help with daytime parking etc. The upgraded version of ours, despite looking brighter and fresher has a lot less storage and smaller 'kitchen'. Phew
