Campaign for Real Aires UK - CAMpRA

I have written to Nathan at Argyll & Bute Council suggesting that the council allows overnight parking at the car park in Tobermoray. I have also suggested that waste disposal could be provided. There are already toilets, showers and washing machine there.

I have received a lovely email from Nathan Gallogley thanking me for suggestions for parking and an aire and also providing him with the link to the excellent map and leaflets that Western Isles Council produce. We found them a get help when visiting the Western Isles in June. He told me that he mee...

Today I visited Balaclava garage, Innellan, Dunoon, because the garage is next to a small campsite that is no longer in use. It has chemical disposal and EHU, which would obviously need attention. The gentleman at the garage was able to tell me that it is owned by the same family that own McGills Bu...

Thank you. Apparently Nathan works from home and home is Glasgow. I will email my suggestions to him. Obviously I am unable to pass on leaflets. I tried to print off the Argyll & Bute map for motorhomes but didn't succeed. I will try again later. I have had letters printed in the Ileach, the new...

I live in Hunters Quay, Dunoon, part of Argyll & Bure council. I read on Facebookt hat they have appointed a Staycation Project Officer. How can I contact this person please?

Thank you. That's good to know. Hopefully it will be ready for 2022.

Does anyone know who owns s the car park at the ferry terminal on Gigha? There appears to be no parking restrictions on it. There are public toilets there. It would be a good place for an Aire, especially as there are no campsites on Gigha.

When visiting Derry we parked at the carpark on the Foyle Road (A40) near the Craigavon Bridge. Whilst talking to a gentleman there he told us that they have applied for planning permission for an Aire at the carpark and hopefully will have it set up by 2022

I have left information about CAMpRA with the Firpark Hotel, Sandbank, near Dunoon. They already allow you to park overnight if you have a meal there. There is also already one hook up point. They had already had asked the Council about vans parking there and knew the rules. Hopefully they will be i...

I wrote a piece about Kintyre which was published in October 2020 issue of MMM under the heading 'My travels'. It's a lovely part of Scotland.
