WHAT A GEM! Seal Shore Campsite SOLO FEMALE in a CAMPER VAN on Isle of ARRAN (Pt.5)

Following on from last week's video    • EPIC OVERNIGHT spot on ARRAN  Solo F...  

The morning after the lovely sunset and another peaceful night, I finally dragged myself away from Machrie Bay and headed South to explore Blackwaterfoot on my way to Seal Shore Campsite in Kildonan which was to be my next base for a night.

My drive takes me past the King's Cave which I hadn't wanted to visit myself but I stopped off to show the car park where people can overnight, and show the walk and a little legend re. the cave. After that, I head to Blackwaterfoot, buy lunch (a BLT), stock up on a couple of essentials, show the village's community maintained CDP for campervanners and motorhomers, and spend a few mindful moments with a couple of swans!

On driving further along the coast I pass a church for sale for redevelopment and wish I was skilled enough to take it on! The views were amazing. The sun came out as I drove and finally arrived at Seal Bay Campsite right on a stretch of beach at Kildonan. Pitch views were impressive out towards Aisla Craig and Pladda Lighthouse. I felt very contented .

I make toasties for tea in the ridge monkey and catch up with Getaway Geese YouTube Channel    / @getawaygeese  
before turning in for the night.

The wind got up overnight and I could sense a real change in the weather was on its way. I decided to book another night, this time without electric and pitched right at the shore front. Amazing location.

Next time, it'll be my second to last full day on the island a very blustery one, but sunny. I finished and uploaded my Pt1 vlog post on this day (always YouTubing!) and later enjoyed the delights of the beach at the site, beer by the van, and just a great chill out in the sun before the rains came the following day.

Hi, I’m Sue from Lancashire, UK.

This channel is just me getting out and about in a converted VW Campervan, occasionally with friends but mostly solo. Fun, laughs, moans, groans, mistakes, and successes. It’ll all be in here!

I’ll share new places, hints, tips, any info I discover and whatever else I think you might find useful.

I began vlogging my solo travels in ‘Vanya’, to help me reengage with life following the sudden, tragic loss of my husband nearly 3 years ago now. Working through a very complex grief has been the hardest & loneliest challenge imaginable. Some days it still knocks me completely sideways and probably always will. I really don't know. All I do know is that life can change forever and irreversibly in an instant.

By returning to the vanlife we had enjoyed so much together & embracing a new found love of video creation and vlogging, I’m continuing to build strength and balance to move forward through this completely unforeseen and unwanted next chapter of life.

Thanks for joining me. The company is nice.

Sue x
