Probably the best pitch in the network

We recently spent a few days at Bunree. As the handbook says ( p268) “This… must be one of the Club’s loveliest in scenic terms”  

 

We were located on pitch 22 which must be the best on the site. This pitch is at the south western end of the pictches by the loch side. To the left there are no caravans.  Because of the angle of the pitches it would appear that there are no vans to the right so you are parked up in what appears to be splendid isolation. The only man made items between the van me and the Loch shore 10 meters away is a bench kindly provide by the Caravan Club. Ideally my only concern should be is there a bottle of rosé cooling in the fridge. Exercise would consist of walking from the bench to the caravan to top up my wine glass. 

 

A map show we are not sitting by, as I first though when I arrive, the ocean but a lough and the other side of the loch is about half a mile away. Not only does  the hand book have  a photograph which shows in all its splendour the lough but the “wallpaper” on the web site is of Bunree.

 

In the persistent rain of summer 2012 all I can see is the grey water of the lough merging into the grey of the mist. Even Ben Nevis, which is not far from the site seems to have disappeared.

 

Can someone who has stayed on pitch 22 on warm sunny evening tell me what I have missed?

 

Still at lease there is one consolation from all this rain. The Scottish midges seem to have disappeared.

    I am glad you enjoyed your short stay at Bunree, it is certainly a beautiful spot by the shore of a Scottish LOCH
