Arrived at Misterton after Hoddom Castle, if was a nice weekend, late on the Friday but early on the Saturday. Did a walk to a micro brewery come pub and spent most of the day with Cliffandger. Met up with David and Bev, Debs, and @Scout (Phil and Angela) who were also at Kelso. Most are heading up to Falkirk maybe next year we shall see.
Not a campsite I would ever choose to stay at, in fact might try and avoid it, just abit odd. No toilet etc.. and has tents???

Got ferry from Largs to Millport very quick easy and efficient.
Set up in the field behind the Garrison House Cafe, ground a bit soft and also a public footpath running across the top with a fenced off football pitch 5 aside. Ground was very soft.
Very nice place plenty of pubs and some shops, small Spar type shop and a bank which only open 2 days a week though.
Great bay for launching kayaks and with a flat round round the island Cumbrae 10 miles long great for cycling.
After much debate we all moved Tuesday AM to firmer ground round by the car park, joining AllanAndLoren.
Cycled round the island very easy and pleasant, girls went for a swim in the bay whilst we went to the pub across the road.
Weds Kayaking which although a bit chaotic was good fun.
Thursday left to head down to Misterton.

Met @Scout, @Normaandsue, @IRNbru, @Simson, @Wizzer, @PeterC10, @pigginchilli, @Clive, @AllanLoren
Lovely warm weather
Walked into Kelso on the Saturday, had a communal bbq in the evening cooked by @Clive and @peterC10, tried dancing but chaotic, also offered a shower at Helen and Martin house, as they have Solar water heating and need to use it up, myself Tim (@Wizzer) and Helen.
Sunday walked and cycled to the Thomson monument took pics and then came back, great Indian meal prepared by @pigginchilli (Steve and Nadine) quite hot! Then dismantled the Event shelter.
Monday breakfast cooked by Martin, and left for Millport.

Village vets
Moved to Lyndon Top after vet visit:
Hab check SMC Newark
Planned to leave thursday morning to spend the weekend with Motorhomefun at the Chester food and lifestyle festival, camping on Chester racecourse.
First job check tyre pressures after finding the drivers rear tyre a bit low last week. They had dropped over the week to about 68, probably due to me checking the pressure everyday. Decided to top the pressure up to 75, what I believe it should be. Got the Fix & Go compressor out, made sure switched to compressor not the Fix, pumped up the 4 tyres no problems but on the last tyre noticed some white spots on the ground. When I picked up the compressor discovered that the fluid was coming from the other tube it appears that the fix and go fluid has decided to open up. It is very fluid and sticky and tricky to stop, if you unwind the fluid pipe then there is a button which releases the fluid canister, after doing this I was able to stop the leak and start the cleanup of the compressor wire case and tubes.
TIP: if you use the Fix&Go compressor remove the cannister first.
