After returning home today, Saturday 6th April 2019, I'm now looking back to the last 3 days I had staying in my caravan at Oban C&CC Site near Benderloch. I think there are two stand out realisations I made during this trip. Firstly, I have never really appreciated the beauty and appeal of Argyll before. I think my previous visits with my camper van curtailed my ability to explore and enjoy the area. On this trip I visited many nearby places and done a huge amount of walking. I literally 'walked the legs off' the dogs! The woods, forest, and hill routes I walked were superb. Secondly, and connected to my first realisation is that I should have bought a good quality caravan years ago. The camper vans I have owned were great fun and probably ideal for Munro Bagging, but the pure comfort and utility value of a caravan is unparalleled. The ability to disconnect the van and go wander in the car is a huge advantage. The highlights? Probably the walks I took up Glen
