David said he was going along to his and Bev’s favourite camping spot and would anyone like to join. So we decided to travel up and test everything out prior to New Year.
David & Bev, Debs, Brendan, Andy63, RalpnBev, BigTree, fantastic spot right on the beach and solid ground.
Electrics went again after SMC replacing 60A fuse, luckily I had the inverter batteries on board and switched them over. The Gels appeared fine but when under the load TV turned on the voltage dropped right down to 9-10v and the tv turned off. Replaced Batteries on the site took a couple of hours but all working in the end.
We left on the Monday, would return.

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.

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.
