  • Was my 50th so we got away for four days, one night in the lakes and up to Glen Coe. Weather was absolutely incredible! Jesse is our new family member, she's a little gem. Awesome walk up the mighty Buachaille Etive Mor. Thanks to Julie for making me a wonderful birthday cake, she's been watching our vids lol

    Your ropes need to be in line with your awning poles and add a second set of ropes out the side ....I add the two ropes with springs which allows some movement but keeps it secure and it doesnt lift up plus use long pegs 20 or 30cm....nice video great scenery thanks for sharing

    • @savedpurplecat

    @danielhanney3326 6 років тому

    Happy belated 50th, Tim.. and thanks for another fantastic piece of drone footage, amazing video skills, I always enjoy watching your videos, As a Caravan owner the videos help me choose the area to visit when on tour, and being from the outskirts of Glasgow means the Hills and Glens are not too far away..the West Coast of Scotland is my favourite.

    • @savedpurplecat
      @savedpurplecat  6 років тому

      Thanks for watching Daniel appreciate it very much mate, yeh thats what we do, look on youtube to see where some of the best camping spots are, we are thinking of doing the wild Atlantic way in Ireland, do you know anything about this? trying to get some info on it :) Tim and Mandy

    Great stuff Tim happy birthday by the way. You’ll be as old as me one day. 😆. I recognised the buchaille instantly. We’re in a club. Enter the glen point and say “I’ve been up there” awesome. The van looks very cosy. Dog is very cute. We were at red squirrel June 10th. One night. Our trip was ok till storm hector came along. Grrrr. Anyway. Good to see you road tripping again. Love a purplecat road trip me. Atb to the 3 of you 🐶

Thanks for watching buddy :) Tim and Mandy

    Enjoyed your vid and what a lovely dog you've got! Is she a pure Collie or a Sprollie ( Springer/Collie Cross)? BTW, the 'bunk house' you walked passed is Lagangarbh owned by the Scottish MC. I stayed there years ago in winter and found myself locked out so I had to climb onto the roof and break in using my ice axe to prise open the skylight window. Don't tell anyone...Oh...I have!

    • @savedpurplecat
      @savedpurplecat  6 років тому +1

      Thanks for watching, Jesse is a Collie she came off a farm near to where we live, medium coat we think. I thought it might have been a bunk house, looks a cracking place to for a winter stop, lol theres no end to the uses of a trusty ice axe and don't worry your secrets safe with us haha :) Tim and Mandy

    • @savedpurplecat
      @savedpurplecat  5 років тому

      Hi Mick the toilet is covered in these T25s if you look at most vids they look like stools and are used often as extra seating, the shower clips up on the back hatch and you shower outside, you can get an internal version for winter but they are a bit of a faff to put up :) Tim
