The WC at fort Bill looked ace, it's been a while since I've been and made me think I need to go next year, so thanks yous two for that, and a valid point again at the end! Why is it so hard in England to off grid !?
Hi mavericks we are thinking of going to Scotland beginning of September, where would you suggest, we read that there not keen on motorhomes on the nc 500 will the midges still be about, how do you find the loo drops, is west better than east, 2 adults and a small motorhome, thanks for the vids I’ve only just subscribed. Cheers Sean.
Hi, Thanks for subscribing. Ignore the rumours about the locals - we were there for nearly 5 months and with the exception of two on Skye - we were treated with nothing but kindness. I think a few get the hump when it's the hieght of the season but September should be a lot quieter - and more enjoyable for yourselves. Also, the midges start to ease off in that month. They are only on the west coast With regards as to where to go? The NC500 is fantastic but then so are the islands such as Orkney and Shetland etc - they have more places of interest to visit too - great if you're into your history. We have several videos covering the NC500 plus Skye, Outer Hebrides, Orkney and Shetland. All have parks up and places to visit on Toilet drop offs nd water points are plenty in Scotland - use the Apps - Search for Sites or Park for night to find them (paying the small fee is really worth it) Hope this helps a bit, feel free to ask anything else and happy travels
@@motorhomemavericks1 thanks for the reply, we have both apps so will use, I'm going to watch the videos later. Thanks for the information on your trip
Hey you two...another great video. I absolutely agree with you about having a heavy heart when leaving Scotland. Eddie and I got back to West Yorkshire a week ago, and I felt so fed up with rubbish everywhere, the traffic and polluted air. In Scotland we could choose a destination, knowing we were welcome and there was a designated place to park. Even though the weather was a bit rubbish we have both decided we prefer those kind of temperatures, to the baking heat of Andalucia or the Algarve. We are definitely returning next year. I'm currently on a campsite near Shrewsbury and when I arrived after a tedious drive on several motorways, it felt like a little bit of heaven; clean, open vistas and a little bit like Scotland, and after a week of being back in the UK, I can unwind at last. Really looking forward to see where you are heading next. Safe travels ....Julie xx
@44buddhist Hi Julie, Thanks for your positive comments on our videos. I know what you mean about being on a downer leaving Scotland. Coincidentally, once we'd down the family bit down south - we headed up to Shropshire for a few weeks. Definitely, the most underrated county in England, which is cool as it's nice and quiet. Glad you're both well and relaxed
@@motorhomemavericks1You didn't happen to stay at Hawk Lake Caravan Park, dis you? Stuart, the owner, was telling me the exact same van as mine had been there recently, and I was surprised as I haven't seen another one on our travels.
Is there any other UK shipwrecks worth exploring?
Brilliant video...very well made and great area 😊
Thank you for your kind words.
Excellent vids guys keep it up.
Eilean Donan Castle looks amazing
@@lisanorth9036 A great place to visit
Great find with the farm. How did you find that? 😊
It was on search4sites. Great App!

@@44buddhist No, we didn't stay on any campsites whilst we were there. We've only ever seen one the same and that was Glencoe owned by a Dutch family.
