A short note on wildcamping

Before we got here I spent an unhealthy amount of time on the Internet trying to figure out where we to wildcamp (that is, staying overnight outside a camping site).

The thing is, with a campervan you don't really need the  infra that caravan sites offer.
In our car we got a toilet, a kitchen, a bedroom and a living room. If we can find a nice loch (yes, we did) or a creek (yes, we did that, too), we also have a bathroom.

So, what does one do when the eve closes in and the time for creating culinary extravagances draws near?

1) Forget anything you read on the Internet (except, obviously, this).

2) Find a single lane road (the ones that are about as wide as a finnish bike lane and is equipped with passing places (the speed limit on these seems to be somewhere between 50 mph and whatever the car/bike is capable of. These roads can be found anywhere in Scotland.

3)Drive along this road until you find a passing place that, for one obscure reason of another, has been enlarged to the extent that you can fit your mancave-on-wheels into this space without obstructing the non-existent traffic.

4) Make sure your chosen site offers a fecking awesome view of the surrounding landscape. If not, keep going, you'll find a cooler spot within10 minutes.

5) Camp. Leave nuthin' behind that wasn't there in the first place. This includes cigarrette stumps. Especially cigarrette stumps. Don't shout, play loud music, set fire to the surroundings or bug(ger) the local flora or fauna.
If the last part gives you trouble, the Mallard (pub) in Dingwall (town) sells "Funny Inflatable Sheep" among other, even more intriguing products, through a vending machine in the mens' room. The pub grub isn't bad, either.

This should be the view from your car. Don't settle for anything less.
