Before leaving a cycle into Perth again this morning. Then a good journey up to Blair Atholl campsite calling in at House of Bruer. (10 mins away) Very unusual toilets here only hand basins in the site down cubical and showers only one hook for the towel the rest of the clothes go on shelves. Lovely views from the site 290 pitches on site.

A bad thing about Seaview campsite Seahouses that I did notice a few years ago and had forgot until I was allocated pitch 15 was at 0300 and 0330 in the first morning of my stay there was 2 deliveries dropped of into outside containers across from my pitch(the green bins). The second day a delivery at 0330 and 0630 their was no attempt to do it softly ?

001

This would be the pitches to avoid.

noise

Slight rain so no cycle so went into a coffee shop in a bakery in Seahouses (been many times before) the problem is it sells 30 different types of Cake ! Walk round the town and harbor before leaving for Berwick.

Good drive up no problems some shopping arriving at 1300 walk up to M&S food hall. The image below is a picture of the view from the van window a good pitch this time.
