And the rather more basic washing facilities...

So much for my plan of using a camp site shower this evening. I arrived at Gretna camp site only to find it had closed and, late at night, i was facing a Night hidden behind trees in the grounds of a posh hotel. Luckily j came to the rescue by finding a site online, booking it and i navigated through miles of remote lanes to reach it. Now i'm here it's simply a paddock with a tap and nothing else yet is costing more than a top standard site, but i'm committed now. Poor j is home with a flu bug so the plan is for me to stay away for a few more days and visit my parents en route back instead but they're involved in hospital visits. They must know i've only had one proper wash in more than a week (remember it's been very warm for the last 4 days and i have a heat problem...) because they've warned me they'll probably be out. I'm at the stage of feeling sticky and itchy -there's only so much you can do with kitchen roll and Loch water. Ali - if you're still reading this, would you like to join me??!
