Holiday 2007

Following a traumatic journey to Scotland, we had a fantastic holiday on Arran. We broke down an hour from home on the M25, spent 1 1/2 hours trying to contact the rescue service, then having been rescued went to the home of the recovery vehicle driver as his son had collapsed at home. We administered first-aid while waiting for the ambulance to arrive. Once they had taken him to hospital, we had to wait for a second recovery vehicle to take us home. We broke down at 9.30pm and eventually got home at 3am!

After spending the night in our own bed, instead of in the car on our way to Scotland, we spent the morning looking for a hire vehicle and ended up with a Ford Transit for a fortnight. We successfully changed our ferry booking and campsite booking and even managed to find an overnight stop at the Travelodge at Glasgow airport.

Once we finally arrived we had a relaxing holiday on Arran. (more details and photos in my next post)
