On Friday 20th June we went to Cobleland just outside Aberfoyle. A tranquil and gorgeous campsite with loads to do. There are many activities that the forestry commision run including a dusk walk. The dusk walk was very informative and seeing bats close up was very thrilling. The forest surrounding Cobleland are full of wildlife including roe deer and red squirrels.
On the Sunday we took a drive along Duke's Pass which was very nice and went to Doune Castle, this was not as much fun as hoped due to a lack of coconuts. The castle and scenery was lovely.

For the first weekend in May, we decided to travel to Cashel Campsite. This would allow us to test Daisy out.
Cashel is a campsite on the Bonnie banks of Loch Lomond. It is run by the forestry comission. It had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend. All toilets and shower blocks were very clean and the staff were very friendly.
This weekend allowed Barry and I to plan out the small things in Daisy like, where to store the table, bin and sleeping bag when we were not using them. We were able to test out the 240 volt power, it worked like a dream. It also allowed us to gauge how much water we would use and how many times we would need to empty the cassette toilet. This would allow us to see how long we could wildcamp for.
Bruno had a great time paddling in the Loch and streams. He loved sitting in the van staring out at people. Boxers are really nosy animals!.

Below are a couple of photographs of the weekend trip to Cashel.
