York (5th August 2016)

It was difficult to get started this morning, however when you’re staying in a pub car park, with three other motorhomes there as well, it’s difficult not to get woken up. Last night was quite an eye opener into life on ‘t moors. Sunny one second, heaving with rain the next. We left the pub …

Long Drive ‘cross Moors (4th August 2016)

Up slowly this morning, couldn’t leave early as we had a key to drop off after the Falkirk Wheel opened again. We watched it turn a couple more times had a quick game of tennis in the car park and we headed off.. A long drive ahead of us, which involved some M’s quite a …

Falkirk (3rd August 2016)

Last night it was difficult to sleep. The A9 was noisy, then the rain came and without earplugs was impossible for me. Both April and Toby were already asleep but I lay awake for a good while. The morning was slow and we took a while to get going, we visited a shop where we …

Perth (2nd August 2016)

After a lazy morning we had a last wander down to the Loch which was lovely in the sunshine. We then went on to Aviemore for a full Scottish breakfast with both Links and Lorne sausages which fuelled us for our long drive to Perth. We stopped at BritStop 817 where we met Mandy (my …

Landmark (1st August 2016)

Today was mostly about giving Toby a break from walking and general boredom so we found that there was a theme park nearby and headed for it. A short trip and we were experiencing high rope walks, very fast waterslides, rollercoasters, adventure play areas and massive taps amongst a host of other things. It certainly …

Cairngorm (31st July 2016)

A late start this morning. We decided that with both Rob and I snoring as badly as we do no-one got any sleep, so the morning was lazy and irritable. We decided to head up the road to the mountain train which was a perilous drive with large falls off to the side, but we …

A82 part two (30th July 2016)

We left Luss behind at about 10 and headed for our most northerly point, the Cairngorms. This wasn’t going to be a northerly drive at all more of an eastern one, but with Loch Ness and Inverness within range, we decided that as we were here, we’d go for it. So we carried on along …

Forests, Huh! 

Ok, we’re in a forest in the Cairngorns for the next three days and it is the kind of place where signal is non existent. So normal service will be resumed when I get some signal and time.  Apologies for the interruption. Normal programming will resume as soon as possible.  The Management

Let’s just go to the next corner. (29th July 2016)

So, up reasonably early this morning although it was a struggle. A quick breakfast and we packed a picnic because there was a walk we’d been meaning to do and a Nevis called Ben to conquer. Setting out from the campsite we headed for one of those shortcuts that we can’t decide if we should …

Our New Favourite Road (28th July 2016)

We left behind Loch Lomond Camping and Caravanning  club site just before 10 as we were heading north to a campsite that releases pitches for the day at noon. We decided that the easiest way through to our destination was up the A82 and oh my, what a road!! The photos don’t do it justice, …
