Monty got up early for this trip, 3am to be precise for the long 8hour drive to Poolewe via Inverness. Driving was relaxed and less stressful than when we used to have the caravan. Monty drove well, and fuel economy was around 24mpg, with 4 on board and plenty of clothes for the changeable weather!
We stopped at Tesco's Inverness for fuel and provisions. We found that the fridge is a bit on the small side compared to the caravans, so stocking needs to be well planned. We even had a cool bag and kept swapping freezer blocks.
Poolewe site, known as inverewe gardens, is lovely.
With views of the loch in front and the hills behind, and Inverewe gardens off to the right.
The gardens are amazing, we went expecting to be an hour and spent 4 hours.
We didnt see the local otter or much wildlife other than herons, gulls and lots of sparrows.
We are staying for a couple of days then thinking of driving the long scenic route round to Thurso via Ullapool and Durness.
Weather - wet on the way up but not as torrential as forecast. Saturday overcast, sunday very sunny and warm. Monday forecast strong winds and heavy rain, may not do the scenic route and go via Inverness to Thurso.
