We drove on and arranged to meet next day not far up the road to Oban the seafood capital of the West.
It poured down again, so the stunning view and look outs were very misty which was a shame but to get the green you need the rain.
At Oban we found d the car park with 4 dedicated motorhome parks where we were going to wait but it was £10 with no services and a very busy car park opposite Tesco, Pat told us that Tesco were now allowing motorhomes to park for free and overnight so drove around to their car park, very busy and nowhere really to park, back to ther car park and of course lost our spot, it was now full, so pulled into a coach bay just to pop into Tesco for milk and got some hot cod bites for lunch. A very friendly coach driver came wanting to park where we were and told us Tesco allow motorhomes over 2 bays for free, so again round the block, but not happy to leave it there, so sadly won't get to do much in this seaside seafood town.
Drove on along the coastal fishing port, very pretty town with lots of seafood cafes and restaurants but nowhere for us to park. Hopefully we will get some where further up the coast.
Good road surface but misty rain prevented good viewing the scenery. Very well kept gardens and immaculate lawns in the front of the house along the way by Loch Linnhe and Loch Creran photo from viewing spot.
Craggy rocks jutting out from hillsides and very rocky, stoney shores of the Loch with large homes made of grey stone.
Arrived at our very picturesque free stop for tonight right on edge of the Loch and at the foot of Glencoe.
Aged aberdeen angus steak from farm stay in Melton Mowbray onions, mushrooms kumera chips for dinner a la skipper.
