Off for the start of the walk

Tuesday 26 May.

 

We got up at the usual time and I made the breakfast then Moira finished packing the 'van. I had a shower then we were ready to go. I drove and we cut off the M8 at Ibrox to pick up the M77 all the way down to Prestwick and Ayr. It was then on to the single carriageway coast road to Stranraer. We had a stop at a lay-by for a cup of coffee about 11am before continuing.

 

TomTom directed us around Stranraer and then along a very narrow country lane before picking up the main A716 down to the Mull of Galloway. At Sandhead we went into the Sands of Luce caravan site by mistake. They directed to the farm site that we were booked into, it was on the other side of the road, Sandmill Farm. It was only £10 per night compared with the Sands of Luce at £20.

 

The owners weren't in but a woman told us where we could park. I filled up with fresh water first then we got on the hard stand site and hooked to the electrics. We had lunch then I got the TV tuned in, it was working all right and I got the radio going.

 

We relaxed for the afternoon and I managed to finish today's 'Telegraph' crossword. In the evening after dinner we listened to the radio then watched 'Springwatch' after I had made up the bed. Later we tried to watch a programme about Joan of Arc but we both started to fall asleep so I turned it off and got settled down. Moira had forgotten to bring the pillows so she filled up the pillow cases with some of our clothes. It wasn't very comfortable. There were about another half a dozen caravans and motorhomes on the site but it was all very quiet and peaceful.
