After a week family camping at Loch Ken then 3 nights at Banff Links campsite my daughter and I finished with a wildcamp.
We went to Sunnyside beach between Cullen and Findlater Castle. Having camped there before I knew that I would need to carry firewood, so it was a heavy load to get to the beach. IMG_20190803_142937.jpg IMG_20190803_141740.jpg IMG_20190803_141637.jpg IMG_20190803_140918.jpg IMG_20190803_140208.jpg
I was hoping we would be the only ones camping and as we walked down, 2 groups passed us going to the car park and we had it to ourselves.

Pitched my vango on the bit of sand with the most grass well up from high tide line.
Watched the sunset then got the TV on. IMG_20190802_205246.jpg IMG_20190802_213638.jpg IMG_20190802_213618.jpg
The beach was alive with small sand fleas that were like mini shrimps. IMG_20190802_204531.jpg
After my daughter went to bed I stayed up and had a few beers and a dram getting a nice clear sky for night viewing.
In the morning I made croissants with cheese, coffee and hot chocolate. IMG_20190803_100158.jpg IMG_20190803_113703.jpg
I noticed my daughter had written in the sand

"I love wild camping and my Granny"

Went for a quick swim and a wee explore of the rocks before packing up and leaving no trace.

Great photos peat
 
Cracking pictures and trip PB :thumbsup:

Like the "I love camping with Granny" scratched into the sand :)

I have a passion for old buildings and Architecture.......and found the description and history of "Findlater Castle" very interesting.
When you think back to what was at hand in those days the building of these castles was nothing short of amazing......perched and built into the cliffs.....brilliant.
Such a shame to see it in its present state :( but still hanging in there.

We had a trip up to Edinburgh a few months back for a week and visited the castle there.....awesome trip.

Thanks for sharing :thumbsup:
