Where Do You Stay In The NW

[Wildfisher]

When fishing up there where do you stay? 

By the way just to be clear that joking aside I have no issue with campervans, in fact with soaring costs and lack of opportunities I sympathise hugely with the campervanner. It's often a case of van-it  or don't go. Screw camping, that's for the penniless and the young and stupid. 

I have on many occasions rented cottages, last was Corriekinloch in 2016. Back then for my preferred 2nd week of July the cost was £430 ish for 7 nights. Not too bad at all.

The same week now costs £800.

So what do you do and have you found costs have exploded?

I'm still young and stupid Fred, so I still camp

Costs have exploded and hotel availability can be non-existent at times. In recent years it has been necessary to book cottages a long time in advance. Living not far away, it used to be possible to see a period of good weather coming and find somewhere to stay at short notice; not any more.

I've booked a static caravan for a week at Kinlochbervie in June. £350.

Unless you are prepared to risk booking 6 months in advance, then only real answer must surely be a campervan?

Anywhere i've stayed the costs have gone up year on year. Suppose it's only to be expected now with the way things like gas & electricity have gone up.

[Wildfisher]

A   few places I have stayed charged for gas, oil electric separately  Alan. Corriekinloch always did that.

George is nipping my head already about getting away, but we will be camping That's 'wild' camping

Go for it auld yin.
