So obviously non motorhomers won't be as keen.

The legal definition is very ropey and debatable.

No offence to Scotland but I dont have much desire to get cold or eaten by the midges!!

What I mean by debatable is I don't see a motorhome as 'camping' per say.
However for example if you go to shell island in Wales which is Europe's largest 'campground'
No caravans are allowed because it is a camping site only.
However motorhomes or 'camper' vans are welcomed as it is classed as camping according to the local council.

So staying in the motorhome is camping according to them!

I have had 4 different so called legal definitions of 'wild camping' which are nothing a like.

But as I say, all I'm on about it stopping to sleep where sensible and welcome/allowed to.

How long do you think it might take to get to Lundy?

How many motorhomes proportionally are there compared to cars ? 1 - 5, 1 - 10, 1 - 20. usually a very low percentage of motorhomes to cars, probability is that the car drivers are leaving the rubbish.

Have you got the coordinates, as I have just looked on my GPS and I don't appear to have that one.
