The NC 500, Toilets and 💩…

I’ve been enjoying a little break from Instagram, as well as our first trip away since before the pandemic 💙.

The dream of a summer solstice dip - gold rays lapping a sunrise-drenched ocean. In reality, you have kids to look after, you need your sleep, and the only time you can go is half past nine. You’re running late, attempting to jog down the road in flip flops, and you arrive to a grey and windy shore covered in rocks and slippy seaweed. On the way home you get soaked through by a surprisingly vicious shower, and end up in your wooly hat till lunch.

*Sharing locations of wild camping/overnight park up spots - is it necessary?* 🤷‍♀️

*Not A Pretty Post Alert*

For many people living in the far north (and in other rural areas of the Highlands/Scotland/anywhere) home isn’t a just place, it’s a part of our identity. Living in places others might see as ‘peripheral’ or ‘remote’ (views not always shared by the people living in such places) tends to have an influence on our psychology, culture and sense of self.
