Voyageur That is such a great thing to do! You do think of some crazy but brilliant things 😊

Fiona and David Mostly crazy to be fair. Crazy is a good escape from our normal (which is frankly bizarre for most people) 😜

Loch Tulla Viewpoint
8 novembre 2019, Écosse ⋅ ⛅ 1 °C
This is the most spectacular view south of Glencoe. Tourist buses stop here all day long with people from all over the world. We call it the No "eye" Deer viewpoint after a conversation with some American tourists. That's a good story for another time 🤭
More photos tomorrow morning of the deer and views! First night with the swivel seat in action. Threw my handmade crochet blanket on it.... is it quirky enough now? 😂😂En savoir plus

Good morning, Deer
9 novembre 2019, Écosse ⋅ ☁️ 1 °C
Abso-bloomin-lutely freezing! 0700hrs -5 out trying to photograph a herd of deer which had settled about 50m from the van. I had to wait till the sunrise to get enough light for the video 🤦🏻‍♀️
Its snowing up on the Ben but nothing forecast at ground level today. After breakfast, we'll head north east up past Fort Augustus, Caledonian Canal into Loch Ness and on to Inverness.En savoir plus

From Glencoe to Nybster

After a long but beautiful drive across some of the worlds finest scenery, we arrived in Nybster at the Broch at approx 1900hrs. We stopped off at several locations, had fish and chips in Golspie and even watched a full firework display in Wick, along the way.En savoir plus

My favourite place! I could live here! Up at 0700 first light ready for sunrise at 0750. The sun didnt disappoint but it was super windy and bitterly cold.

Voyageur Blimey, you’re a tad exposed there, hope you got plenty of lpg

Fiona and David The van holds the heat well and because it's so remote we can have the engine running a short time for extra heat, but we've got the diesel heater and it keeps us warm. We know what the problem is with the leisure batteries and theyll be getting replaced.

Jour 3
John O'Groats
10 novembre 2019, Écosse ⋅ ⛅ 6 °C
So we came to John O Groats to drop off the little stone at the signpost. We didnt take many photos as we've been here quite a few times now. Small as it is, it's worth a visit. Theres a fabulous Bistro called Stacks. Its named after the stacks at Duncansby Head. The lighthouse is the most northerly point. The views are of the Orkney. The camera doesnt do it justice though. You can stay overnight in the Village car park. Theres now a charge of £2 for the entire day/night. It's to help local heritage though.
Fingers crossed someone picks up the rock soon and takes it on a journey. Tourists from all over the world visit. Even in Winter!En savoir plus

Jour 4
High road home
11 novembre 2019, Écosse ⋅ ❄️ 0 °C
We left Nybster after a very stormy night around 0900hrs. Currently on the A9 driving through Cairngorms National Park. Its snowing lightly. We'd never come home this way before so it's all new. We're not sure where we'll stay tonight yet.
We climbed up to 1256ft just before Aviemore Ski Resort where they'll be getting excited about the first snow.
So sad to have to come home, especially when it's my birthday on Wednesday. 49? There must be some mistake!!En savoir plus

Going home
12 novembre 2019, Écosse ⋅ ☁️ 4 °C
Driving home on A86 to Spean Bridge then on to Fort William. All this beautiful scenery is just a couple of hours drive from Helensburgh. We feel really lucky every time we come out. I took a couple of photos of the nature trail before we left.
We couldnt drive past the Roy Bridge Dam without a few photos though.En savoir plus
