Our gasket went as we headed off on holiday a couple of years ago :evil: We still carried on to John O Groats and around the north of Scotland a good few hundred miles with only the embarrassment of a loud screech echoing up the glens when going uphill to put a damper on our holiday. Still had great...

If I've got diesel in the tank and time off work,we'll be there!

is that the barra airport?? cause it is already on the map. Last time we were on Barra there was signs barring camping around the airport,something to do with ruining the machair. Apart from the ferry ports there was a great wee spot at Vatersay community hall. Just Beware the Vatersay Boys http://...

Need to give a thumbs up for the base seconds 2013 model. With a strategically placed coolbox and crate of beer ours didn't try to join Dorothy or Toto in the breeze we had at Gairloch. The older version we used to have did stand up to a reversing Bongo :shock: although it did fold in the wind somew...

We're up Moray coast just now.Blue skies,sandy beaches,grandkids are loving it.

Getting shot of them next week then heading over to skye or assynt whatever the weather.

recommend a walk up Tom na Gruagaich for a fantastic viewpoint

There's plenty of of other spots I'm sure

Some good photos indeed,our avatar picture was taken down Glen Etive,first day of ownership and first trip in our Freda :D Thought I'd add our trip report Thursday afternoon after a long shift at work and a ridiculously short sleep we headed off up north. Didn't think we'd make it as far as Gairloch...

Thinking of driving along the tops of the Cairngorm mountains No need to go that far,there's snow cover over Ben Lomond and there's a motorway up the side of that one :roll: They say it is bitterly cold, horizontal rain, with very strong winds, but they are loving every moment. Brilliant,don't let ...

Sorry to be an ignorant English person but what is an Aberdeen buttery? We'd never heard of them either :oops: Down in Glasgow we have our own type of Morning Roll http://www.mortonsrolls.com/traditional-crispy-rolls/ Best filled with a square slice sausage and some fried onions with a generous squ...

Aha - Just figured out why there were so many military vessels loitering and from various other navies... Did you hear about this Navy seal http://www.royalnavy.mod.uk/News-and-Events/Latest-News/2013/April/15/130415-Navy-Seal-Of-Approval-For-HMS-Bulwark http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu229/mul...

Roll on summer

Sunday would be good for us at Pitlochry,we'll be heading down Loch Rannoch Friday night for a couple of nights

Plenty camping spots down there if anybody fancies it

Just back from up Lochinver way,you should go to the pie shop there,a bit pricey but the venison and cranberry pies are to die for =P~ Not too far north or south of Inverness would be ideal. There is a few Forestry Commission car parks which should be okay for an overnight stop north of Inverness on...
