I hope you enjoyed your tour.
How did you find campsite facilities at the sites you stayed on - washrooms, camp kitchens etc. Were they strictly controlled for time slots etc for each family group - or is that not happening? Was there a lot of extra cleaning going on?

Re: Elgin to Fife to Elgin with cycletravel link and campsites used with links
just the two of us
Scottish schools not on holiday until tomorrow, so as ex-teachers we had timed the tour so that we had little chance of meeting children
campsites all good, the one and Kintore felt a bit run down, but fine for an overnight
Turrif was great, great warden also Blair Atholl have a cycle tourist/backpacker rate and very well organised and Pillars of Hercules have a rate of £5 per night per person and a wee area set aside for just cycle tourist/backpackers, wish more would do that!!
Facilities fine were all quiet and clean
apparently sites are mobbed at weekends and I suspect will be busy from Friday though to the end of August
we'll stick to day touring and our other love hillwalking until the rush reduces
