HI SOOB

Looks like the weather is going to be good next week so were going to get the tent out and spend a few nights down south.

Im looking for advice on where to go. Been to the lake district and the dales and fancy someting along the same lines but perhaps a tad further south??

Anyone been somewhere good or do you live in such an area??

Any tips on areas and campsites would be great

Thanks

J

P.s were coming from central scotland

Jesus man, is Scotland that bad??? your coming from a place where they possibly have the best scenery in the whole of the u.k. and you want to go dawn sarf!!!! with all the shandy drinking poofs! you could try Dorset or Devon. If you wanted to stick to Wales then Abersoch is very nice!

If you really want to head south then St Ives in Cornwall is fantastic!

New Forest in Hampshire is pretty nice, but I agree with The Chief - get yourself up to the North West Highlands, miles nicer than anywhere south of the border although the midgies could be an issue at this time of year!

Cornwall is nice, the Bude area is a good base.

By the time they've got from Scotland to Devon or Cornwall, it'll be time to turn round and head home

Somewhat shorter to get to:

Yorkshire Dales
North Yorkshire Moors (although still soggy and some places cut off after the rain last week)
Peak District

Downside is that if it's nice, everywhere will be busy. Less popular places to try might be the Howgills or Forest of Bowland.

West Wales is lovely as is anywhere in Snowdonia and the north western coast of North Wales. How about heading further north in Scotland? We've just come back from a weeks camping at Lossiemouth on the Moray Coast and it was awesome, I absolutely loved it, the beaches are beautiful and so unspoilt. On our last day there we took a boat trip on Loch Ness in the morning, spent the afternoon 4000+ feet up at the top of Cairn Gorm then relaxed on the beautiful beach in the evening - it was quite a day

HI SOOB

Cheers for the fee back folks.
I just thought we could try somewhere south as we have been round Scotland so many times.

Like I said, the weather is set to be alot nicer down the country than Scotland is, so I thought we could make the best of it.

Cheers

I live in North Wales and we have some stunning campsites up in Snowdonia.
Many to choose from.All watersports.rockclimbing absailing etc available.If you havent been this side,try it.I know its a bit of a distance from Scotland but its well worth it if you make it for a week or so.

know what you mean about the weather - my cousin from dumfries commented a couple of times that they'd see the temperatures in essex and think lucky buggers! walked up ben nevis earlier this month and the scenery was great. weather was pretty miserable though!
would agree with chrisb re how long it's going to take you - take a look here though http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/ (and don't be put off by the name, it does appear to be listing sites for tent camping...)
