Aberfeldey

This morning, as expected the rain returned, but not too heavy. We'd enjoyed our evening at Red Squirrel camping and think it's probably our number one campsite. Not that we stay at many. We have decided today to head east in search of more settled weather, which meant we yet again got to drive through the Great Glen. Stopping at a viewpoint for Angela to relieve herself we found ourselves surrounded by a coachful of Japanese tourists. OMG. Hold it in Angela! Sat in Marge we watched as each and everyone one of them took many photographs of themselves and each other, photos that would no doubt be on Instagram by the end of the day.

Leaving behind the mad crazy hotspot in the Highlands we found a place to pull over. Angela more comfortable John pointed out the hikers walking along the path on the slopes behind her. Their story at tonight's accommodation, 'we saw a full moon whilst walking through the Loch Lomond National Park!'.

All morning the weather teased us, sunny, then windy, then wet. We stopped for lunch in the village of Killin, afterwards taking a walk along the river Tay. Last year we came on a pack rafting course here, and were told beavers had set up a lodge here, which was confirmed by the tell tale signs of felled trees, stripped branches and gnawed tree trunks.

Today there was no fresh evidence that they were still there, so we guessed they'd moved on.

Tonight we are staying outside the premises of Beyond Adventure in Aberfeldey. In front of us is a very well kept cemetery. Either side we have overland vehicles, one from Germany, the other from Italy. The Italian has had his diesel heater running since he arrived, and no doubt will have it running all night. Across the parking home is a motorhome from Sweden.

This evening we walked into town, stopping to take a look at the Dewars distillery. This was the first evening we'd been able to take a walk for a very long time. It wasn't warm, but it was sunny. Upon our return we spotted a dipper down in the river Tay that runs by near to us. Paella cooked and eaten, despite it feeling fresh we were able to sit in Marge with the back door open. Tomorrow we will check the weather forecast yet again before we decide on our next destination.
