3 May–part 3

After Portpatrick I drove to Monteith which is on the west coast of the peninsula which has the Isle of Whithorn at its southern tip. This is where Gavin Maxwell spent his childhood. Again I found a nice campsite in the garden of what was once a school –I’m finding that the privately owned campsites are the nicest but they don’t have all the facilities which I need every so often…

Good but not quite as good as Puerto Natales
