As it was the 4th anniversary of Vic and I starting to go out together, we booked a table for lunch at Wildings in the nearby coastal town of Maidens. The food was very good (though a little light on the vegetables, something which is common in Scotland). After lunch we walked down along the harbour wall before heading back to the site.

That evening, the skies started to look darkly threatening again, and just as I set off to the toilets, the heavens opened with the most torrential downpour that we’d seen during the trip (and we’d seen a few!). I was trapped in the toilet block while the road outside turned into a stream. After about 15 minutes, it lightened enough for me to be able to sprint back to the van. Vic said it had been just like sitting in a carwash!
