burstneraddict Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I have not been to the site but have driven solo in the area a couple of times. The roads are single track as you say and relatively narrow. Unlike some single track roads, which are open and you can see ahead for a long distance, these ones are sometimes limited in vision due to woodlands and twists and some of the passing places are quite short in places and would not take a car and caravan. You say the roads look quiet and at this time of the year they probably are but you need to check if timber extraction is taking place anywhere along your route (phone the site) as the timber lorries take no prisoners when they meet you. You may need reversing skills on a narrow road with drop offs at both sides to ditches. Have you checked the distance (and time) that you will have to tow on single track. Unless you are willing to pay the high cost of 2 ferries to get you to Lochaline, you will probably be crossing on the Corran Ferry and it is a considerable distance from there. I am always amazed where caravans are sited in out of the way places on the West Coast but the majority of these are permanent. Good luck if you decide to go and it is a beautiful part of the world but it might be indicative that the reviews I saw for the site were either tent or motorhome with none from a caravan.

MalH Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 If it's the site I've spotted solo, I'd say it would be a better approach from the Fort William-Mallaig (road to the isles) road. Quote Nissan X-Trail Tekna + Coachman Festival 450 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Mal . .... I think you must be tinking of another site . ... This is approached via the Corran Ferry and Strontian . ... Cheers Pete Quote Mine : Land Rover Defender 90, big, black and shiney.

MalH Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Not the one I'm thinking of. I'd have my doubts taking my caravan over that side of Loch Linnhe. Quote Nissan X-Trail Tekna + Coachman Festival 450 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
