What do you do on a wet day when you live in a van?
1. First answer, look for a nearby museum or art gallery. We are
in Lochgilphead in Argyle, Scotland, so fortunately the Museum of Ancient
Monuments, just 8km up the road in Kilmartin is a good option. When the museum
is done, you head to their cafe for a coffee and charge up the camera and
computer.
2. Put your wet weather gear on and venture out. As we drove out of
Kilmartin there were a number of standing stones and other monuments to visit.
So we rain-coated up and ventured through sheep paddocks to look at the 6th
century standing stones.
3. Drive on to a scenic destination where you can kick back with a view
and read a book or do a crossword. Choose a destination that offers some
activity if there is a break in the weather. The village of Crinan, overlooking
the Isle of Jura, with not much more than a sea lock for the canal, a dock,
some fishing boats, a small hotel with an art exhibition and a few houses;
provided all that we were looking for.
4. If the weather breaks, even for just an hour, get amongst it!
