The folks at Edinburgh Hill Autos were working on our van more or less all day today Wednesday 8th July. They replaced the EGR valve which was seized up causing the van to lose power and the oil and fuel filters which were dirty. They charged us very little considering the amount of time they spent.

The van seems to be running really well now. After stocking up on provisions at Morrisons in Stranraer we moved  on to the west shore of Loch Ryan almost opposite the point on the east shore where we had broken down yesterday. Here's the view out of our sliding door at our parking place on waste ground.

Here's a telephoto across the Loch to the P&O Ferry Terminal where we were stuck yesterday.

Here's a ferry coming in from Larne in Ireland.

We went for a walk along the Loch shore.

It was a beautiful evening.

There was a shingle spit running out to sea with many sea birds settled on it.

Here's a closer view of the birds.

The light was really nice as the sun got low.

Here's looking north out to the open sea. If you look carefully you can just make out the great rock of Ailsa Craig in the centre of the picture.

There were a lot of rabbits about - here are just 2 of many.

We returned to our van.
