A smirry night in the Trossachs

Spot the campervan!

We camped this weekend in the 'Three Lochs Forest Drive' - an area of the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park where wild-ish camping is permitted. The forecast sun failed to materialise, and, although it was mild in temperature, we spent two days peering through this mixture of smirry mist and very low cloud. There was an almost total lack of wind (hence the low cloud....), which meant that the lochs were like flat grey mirrors. Despite the lack of sun, it's a lovely part of the world for camping.


('Smirr' - a Scots word for a very fine mist-like dampness which isn't exactly rain, and can be almost imperceptible up to the point at which you realise you're soaked through....)

Same in Cornwall but it's called fret there (although others tell me fret is used all over the British Isles)
