Jacqui & Neil PM
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.
Left home 11am Thursday 15th, visited Tenbury Wells, parked in the public car park. Cycled to Orchard via cafe.

Arranged by Helen and Martin (MHF@puddleduck), arrived Friday evening after driving up from Delamere Forest stopping at Tebay on the way.
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.

Typical CC&C site, escorted to pitch, put on hardstanding by default, want payment whilst driving.
Facilities ok, showers look small.
Good location for dogwalks and forest access.
Near Railway line
