That'll be due to the 'improvements' to the site, Brian.

Thanks Brian - not sure how that happened as it was working OK when I first posted it.

Cheers

Hi Wevvy, Kingsdale is one of three CL's on Orkney and is close to Finstown in the centre of Mainland Orkney, so handy for Kirkwall. The Evie CL is on the north shore of Mainland with fantastic views over Rousay and Islands to the North. Pool is the CL on one of the conected South Isles close to the ferry port of St Margarets Hope. I have visited the Finstown and Evie sites and must declare an interest as I live at the Pool site which is run by my wife, but thought that you should have some response to your original post by now. In Orkney your choice of site can depend on which way the wind is blowing! In general the Orkney sites are not busy at the height of the season because Orkney is not considered a Family Destination during the school holidays.Rgds.

Nice to have your input  al595017, we keep promising to go to Orkney, didn't realise there was 3 Cl's there. Good to know that even in high season its not too busy (not for you maybe)

Orkney is well worth a good long visit Tammygirl - on my list to return to and extend to surrounding islands - the main Island is a mass of historic sites and lovely scenery! 

I'm hooked on Orkney! It was good to get a reply from a CL owner up there. The two main sites do get busy so a CL is a welcome alternative. You can always try a day visit from Caithness if up in the far north. Next time we hope to get to Westray. 

Brue I did a day visit many many years ago and it really didn't tickle the surface!  Best thing was we made friends on the boat who let us set up camp at their place seriously in the middle of Nowhere - in the middle of dinner they said did we realise we were the only human beings within a 15 mile radius - it was magical

Orkney is definitely on our agenda so it's been useful to read the post from al59 and the tips and info from everyone else. I'm including previous threads and stories in my acknowledgement as they're all stored in the memory bank. Thanks, all.
