Hi. It's a Mavic Air 2. Wales is beautiful and Elan Valley is well worth the visit. It is stunning.

We've just done a month in Scotland together, but I'm way behind on editing at the minute. I had a death in the family, then we left for Scotland and now with Christmas, it's all been a bit hectic! Have a good Christmas😊🎄

@blakes4ontour all good fun eh.

It's been awful, and a tree came down by the kids, where I normally park the car. Luckily, cos Raymond isn't on the drive, the car was put on the drive, otherwise it would have been squashed by the falling tree!

@ omg so happy Raymond is ok 👍 wow

Karls there on his own, I'm at the kids. I think he needs a new bike cover lol.

@ yep! 👍🏼

Karl is down there on his own and I'm at the kids. He said it was really bad between 3am and 4.30am. It's eased a bit but it's still windy. It's windy in Kiddy too and there's been trees blown down and the lights have been flickering.

Yes the coasts and down around your area are getting the worse of it. Fallen trees seem to be the most lethal hazard at present and doesn't bode well for safe travelling. At least you and the kids are staying put safely but I hope Karl parks up and doesn't drive until the wind dies down and is more reasonable🙏. Who knows what trees have been weakened and may still pose a risk?

@patriciayassin2983 no, he's definitely been staying put. He said a few vans moved in the night, but he said it was more dangerous to move in those winds. He's staying put til Monday.

Very wise 👌

Hello! There are still a fair few around in the UK, but best to see with your own eyes, especially underneath. Mine had been undersealed by the original owner from new, so it's done really well. It's recently had welding done around the window, which is common, but a part from that, it's a good van.

Thanks Eric. Dumfries and Galloway does get overlooked, but it is a beautiful part of Scotland. Wolfie is a lovely boy. 💜🐾🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The grass one is on the road to Port William and the services are at Stairhaven and they are free. Also free services at New England Bay too.

He was. He kept coming over then swimming away. It was amazing.😊

Thanks both. Sorry for the late reply. UA-cam held the comment for review for some strange reason. Hope you're both well. 😊

Hello Martin. Well thank you for watching twice 😁 Only two Scotland ones left and then I'm on to different adventures. The sun does always make a difference but the snow has been great. All gone now though.

@roaminginraymond Can't see when my next adventure might be, poor Benson 😕

@BentleyOnTour I can imagine. I've sorned my van and may do for December too.

@@roaminginraymond Do you have a cover for it or just leave to the elements?

@BentleyOnTour I leave it to the elements. I've never actually sorned it before but as I was with Karl for a month it seemed a waste of 30 quid. I'll be putting the diesel heater on in there when we get back and check all is well.🤞

Oh right lol. We have been visiting friends who live there and there isn't room to park outside theirs. Never explored Stranraer before, but it's a lovely and friendly town.

Thanks Ste. Wolfie does love his sticks lol. You'll find out on the next one, when I've edited it 😆

@ I have so much editing to do it will take me a month or two lol, at least we have power now, are you guys still in Scotland? Or back at the kids, either way take care and stay warm and have a good week guys 🙏👍👊🥰🚌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🥶🌨️🐕

@wanderingbychoice yeah, it's always good to be on hook up and get everything charged up. I get my power banks and vacuum charged and then cook everything on the airfryer lol. Gotta make the most of it when you have it. We are in Stranraer seeing friends, the ones you met at New England Bay and then should be back at the kids the weekend. We both have health appointments to get to. Real life always gets in the way, but I'll be glad to see my kids and family again. Safe travels you three. xx

@ say hi from us, so nice to be able to have lights on and things whenever you want, it was nice to see our granddaughter as we miss her when we go off, have a safe trip and enjoy your time in Stranraer, all the best and safe travels you three..👍👊🥰🚌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@wanderingbychoice thanks Ste. It is hard when you have family. Enjoy the rest of your travels.

Ha ha, I can't believe it was so empty cos it was June and pretty sunny. Mad eh. Well Monkey had to have his selfie lol.

Aw, thank Mrs C for her very kind words. I do get nervous on my own but sometimes you have to be brave lol. Although I am a wuss!😆 It is a cracking spot though.

Hello Kenny and thank you. It's not easy. I'm not a fan of loads of vans, but then being completely alone is daunting too, especially being a lone female and having to get the dog out last thing at night. That's when I'm most nervous. Hope you're well Kenny.😊

Thanks very much Rob. 🐾🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💜

Yes, Dumfries and Galloway gets overlooked, but it's beautiful. Thanks for the comment Sam.

The otter was great. Yes, Wolfie is a very lovely boy. You'll be able to see him soon Mand. 💜🐾

Thanks Stephen. It can be daunting, especially being a woman, but I'll get used to it. Yes, D&G is a very beautiful place.

The stuff made from the barrels was really good. The otter place was really nice and no-one else there.

Thank you so much Mary. I do get very nervous sometimes, but the daylight hours in Scotland at that time of year make it so much easier. I'm not very brave really.

@@roaminginraymond Bless you Helen xxx

😊❤️

Thanks Kimberley.😊

Believe it or not, it's in England, not Scotland. It's in the Lake District which is a stunning area. You should go if you get chance. xx

I'm not a fan of the dark, but luckily it never got that dark lol. I feel more vulnerable being female and alone, and I'm a natural born worrier too! But, you have to get used to it for certain.

You'll find out on the next one lol.

Thanks Charlie. Dumfries and Galloway is great as you know.😊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

😆 bet it's even better now after all the snow and rain.

Buster was the sheep in the field with Murdo, but he didn't come over when we were there, he just chilled in the sunshine as it was quite a warm day in the sun.

Ohh I did see him. I'm over in Carnoosie and drove up there I had seen him, although Murdo was a wee bit more memorable.

Lol, you're welcome.

I did think they could build them a proper barn type shelter myself maybe, or even take them to a rescue who would accommodate them and look after them, like Hillside in Norfolk. But I don't know if it would have been possible. It is really sad. We were only there a couple of weeks ago and I think Murdo was the main reason people visited there.

Yes, very sad. Made me cry, but I'm a big softie.😢💜

Yeah, definitely a pain. It's the second time it's happened. Glen Trool is beautiful a part from the midges. Winter is definitely the best time to go lol.

It is Kimberley. I was only feeding him an apple when we were there a week ago. Think he was the main attraction there for people visiting.

Yes. Such a very sad thing. We were only there about 10 days ago. They said he would never make it to double figures and he was 10 in June, so he did well. Made me cry, but I'm a big softie when it comes to animals.

@@roaminginraymond I am a big softie too Helen, I hate it when animals die, its horrible xxx

@maryfennell9672 🥰💜

Aw, Kimberley, you really are so very, very kind.❤️ We will definitely get Wolfie some treats and maybe a piece of cake for my birthday on Friday lol. It's too cold for ice cream, unfortunately.😆 Keep in touch. xx

@ happy birthday 🎈🎂🎉🎁🎊 all the best, yes a cake will taste better too cold for ice cream. 🍨

@Kimberley-Z definitely lol. We have lots of snow at the minute so Karls happy cos he loves it.😊

Hello Stephen. Finally found your comment lol. It was held for review but has only just shown. Stay safe in these predicted winds. Hugs both.

Yeah, very kind of her. Glen Trool is beautiful.

Yes, the stones were very thoughtful. Glentrool is very beautiful. Thanks for the watch and comment Webby.🙂

Ha ha, very good Stew 🤣🤣 It is a good layby and definitely good for getting the ferry.

Thanks Ste. We went up to Duncansby yesterday, but the wind was so bad we had to move on. We walked to the stacks, the wind blew the fluffy bit off my mic, it blew off my woolly hat, but Karl managed to get it back. It was rough up there. Currently still have 50mph, rain and sleet. Are you in the snow zone or are you more south? Least we have had two weeks of dry weather and even sunshine, so we can't really complain lol.

@ sorry for late response Helen, we are in Perthshire till tomorrow, some snow on the peak, heading south towards Kirkcaldy for a few days, good on yer Karl for rescuing the hat, been nice here but very cold, we had ice inside last night when the condensation froze lol, I have a recommendation for you guys, loch garten osprey centre, you might have been but it’s a great park up, stunning walks and scenery and fantastic at night really quiet and not busy at all, enjoy your week guys and stay safe please 👊👍🥰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🚌

@wanderingbychoice hope we don't get ice on the inside lol. We did Loch Garten before Castle Roy and have been twice before. It really is a beautiful place. That's where I had coal tits eating out of my hand a few years back. We forgot the bird food this year though! Never saw any red squirrels there this year either. Glad you got to go there though. We did Nooks ashes in the bay there as we sat there on the rocks with him in warmer weather.

@ That’s great what a lovely place to put nooks ashes, we loved it there as did chancer, we visited the motorhome mums not far from there for a night, then needed a good drive for the batteries, and now we need another one, think our batteries might be dying or they need to go on hook up for a week lol, back to Abington base camp next Monday so should be ok, my brain needs a rest from search for sites…👊👍🥰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🚌

It is hard with the batteries. We've got a B2B charger, but it's still not great at this time of year with no hook up. It's a struggle off grid in the winter, especially in Scotland cos the days are just that little bit shorter.

That's brilliant news Kimberley. I might be in Scotland March time so keep me updated.😊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🐾

@ I’ll keep you both posted via email our itinerary 🐕‍🦺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@Kimberley-Z OK Kimberley.😊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Thanks Mary. Yes a lovely spot and Wolfie is a wonderful boy.🐾

Thanks so much Rob. Yes. A very beautiful place.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💜🐾
