Campervan at Mull of Kintyre
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лип 2021
- We're on the Kintyre peninsula and there's a lot of history for us to tell you about. We also visit the Linda McCartney memorial garden and Keira gets in a right old mess and has a shower...she's not at all happy.
Closest point from the peninsula to irelands only 12 miles they oughta construct a bridge between them
We have many names like that on the eastern seaboard of the u.s, "something-of-something" theres even an island off the u.s east coast where they speak the old british dialect still
I enjoyed "driving" down the road (on google maps) through there to the a842 and beyond all these mountain goats, greenery, rock ledges, etc
Salmon with asparagus is a quite healthy combination esp in salad
Sometime id like to beer marinated salmon
Thank you for this video Muasdale is one of our favourite sites ever.
Aye, it's a we gem, thanks for watching 👍
My first post on your channel thanks to “Cruising the cut”. We are Motorhomers and when the pandemic is history would love to tour Scotland, home of my great grandparents. We’ll be following your exploits with interest and maybe one day bump into one another during our travels.
It will be worth the wait for your tour of Scotland and maybe visit where your great grandparents lived. Thanks for following us and yes, who knows.
Thanks for sharing your travels 👍I make an awesome broccoli and Stilton soup so if your ever down south near Portsmouth pop in for some home cooking. Take care 👍
Cheers Steve!
I was just thinking you two really love your soups; then you said Stilton and broccoli. 😋😋😋❤️
Hello to you both , lovely video reminded me of home on the North Antrim coast I could look across from Ballycastle and see the Mull of Kintyre . Have a great weekend travel safe take care .
Thanks, we hope to visit there one day, not this year but still to make plans for next year👍
Wow how lovely is that beach you wouldn't know you wasn't abroad. Stay safe guys great vlog 🏴👍🏻🏴
Thanks mate, it was pretty awesome, hope you guys are all keeping well.
@@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot all good thank you busy building new van 👍🏻🏴👍🏻
One of your old video's but it's been really useful planning our Kintyre trip.
Currently sitting in the sun on pitch 9 on Mausdale campsite 😁
Hope you had a great time there and that it wasn't too wet and windy.
Neat video, narrated with humour and an obvious passion for the area.
Thanks Andy, sorry must have missed your comment before now. We really enjoyed it there, it's a quiet peaceful spot and an ideal chill out zone.
@@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot In the vid' you came across as if you were enjoying your visit and having fun.
You two are darling together. There is so much love and teamwork in all that you do. Stay healthy and be safe. Hugs to the pup❤️
Aw thanks Jan, that's a lovely thing to say, love and hugs back from Keira 💕🐾
Thanks for the wonderful video. Soon all TV programmes will be made this way. Cheers 🍷🍺👍
You are way too kind Chris 👍
We have just found your channel as you were recommended by David of Cruising The Cut, and we are so glad to have found you. We are coming to Scotland for two months in the spring and it has been really helpful to see the places you have visited. Looking forward to watching all your videos.
Hi Jan, thanks for coming over from Cruising The Cut, we are also fans of Davids channels. We hope you enjoy watching our Vlogs. All the best for 2022.
Just came across your channel its one of the best i have watched
Thats great to hear Robert, thanks very much for the feedback.
That Giant Guh-nuh-ruh(?) is amazing! I've never seen anything like it! I love how you edited together your drone shots to go with the music. Beautiful places!
Thanks Ethan, its a giant Gunnera, often see them in sheltered gardens in places like Cornwall so amazing to find one there, but tucked into that little courtyard to protect it from the weather. The drone cuts took a bit of time, you are the only one who mentioned that, you have made my day 😀 👍
Loved the Kintyre peninsula. We actually wild camped half way up to the Mull of Kintyre lighthouse. No one for 7 miles. Saw deer, Eagle and believe it or not a submarine.. No it wasn't yellow!
On a different note. Thanks for the tip about the Bridestones in Dalby Forsest. Finally got to see them, even if we had to climb up twice cause my batteries died lol
It wasn't yellow 🤣. We loved the Bridestones. I have three batteries now as that's happened to me too!
@@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot currently still using my phone to make the videos, so must always remember to take my emergency charger with me. Still gave us a chance to cook up some sausage butties on the RidgeMonkey whilst it charged back up!
My dream is to visit here. Thank you! :)
Glad you enjoyed it👍
Hi, yet another great video. Hope the travelling is going well xx
Cheers, yes we've had a bit of a break recently to recharge our batteries 😀
I'm coming if only for the dinner, looks delicious. X
It was one of the best things about that wee break 🤣
So glad I was recommended your site from a good friend David, Cruising The Cut. I’ve been binge watching to catch up and thoroughly enjoying memories of visits to the same places I went with my late husband. Well done all 3 of you, looking forward to more travels. Thank you 🦆💕
Hi Paul, we are big fans of Cruising The Cut and ot was so good of David to feature us on his channel, especially since we have picked up so many lovely subscribers like you 💕🐾
Hope you two and Keira are well…great video thanks
Yes thanks we are all fine and hope you are too, and thanks for the feedback 👍
Kiera will soon get used to that and learn that sand and campervan never mix well 😁👍. Enjoyed the story so thanks for sharing. 😁👍
Thanks Ken & Carol, Keira and sand or mud are always a problem, I will send her down to you Carol if you can have that brush ready 😀
Our favourite part of Scotland, we've had so many holidays there over the years. Since we've not been able to go since 2018 this was a great reminder of what we've been missing.
You will know then it's a great place to just chill out, relax and unwind and enjoy the surroundings, we will definitely be back.
Just found your channel. Terrific. I always wanted to go to Mull with my nice. She’s a radio girl that used to work in Inverness and Glasgow. Perhaps you know her, Diane Knox. She now lives in America. I always teased her to end her show by playing Mull of Kintyre.
Hi Dan, it's a great place to visit, shame you didn't get there with Diane. We didn't know her but she was well known and respected in Inverness & Glasgow.
Jackie, Charlie (Cocker Spaniel) and I were in the van at Carradale for a few days last weekend. Our paths may have crossed. Beautiful part of Scotland 👍🏻really enjoyed the video of your trip.
Thanks, very possibly, but don't think we saw a cocker. Yes it sure is beautiful, very quiet and a great place to escape the rat race for a week.
Thanks for that, an area we've never explored. Poppy sympathises with Keira.
Thanks Poppy, Keira got over it quickly.
Hi , great video, I've never been to Mull of Kintye it is on my list. love from Guadeloupe.
Hi Elizabeth, thst list of yours is growing 🤣 and hopefully we can add a few more to it before you get back to Scotland.
Once again thank you for sharing so much beauty !!! Keira's shower was about as bad as when I try to shower my dog, a battle of wills..... Keep safe....
Thanks, yes some real beauty spots. Most dogs probably the same with a cold shower 🤣
Great video again and very engaging with lots of facts and fun to keep us entertained. PS. I'd have gone for the whiskey flavour too!
Thanks Simon, a man after my own heart 👍
Yet another fantastic video. Thanks both of you
Thanks Neil for the feedback 👍
Fab video & those castles must have took some building back in the day 👍🏻😀
Thanks, yes they must have, shame the locals nicked all the stone to make the local pier.
Greetings from Poland.
That was an incredible video. As far as photography and drone work is concerned, one of your very best in my humble opinion.
The Mull of Kintyre is very beautiful and the places you visited, magnificent. Your history lessons were extremely useful, giving loads of information about what I was looking at.
Poor Keira - still dirty dogs and the inside of Wee Broon Van do not go together!
Thanks again for a superb vlog with extra special thanks to Midge.
Stay safe and I'll see you again soon
Thanks Michael, that's very kind of you to say so, like a fine malt whisky, maybe we are getting better with age🤣.
Brilliant guys we were well into this video and realised we need to get back up to Scotland as just our type of location. You will prob see a repeat of your video lol . Loved the first location on that beach. Poor old Kiera and the shower I felt the pain ……
Thanks Stew, we have only been doing Scotland because of the restrictions but actually really glad to be going around these places. Our videos are bound to overlap some time, there are only so many places to go.
Poor wee drookit dug 😀 brilliant drone shots 👍 thanks great video
Aye she was drookit alright and takes a while to dry out. Thanks, I'm getting a bit braver with the drone.
Thanks for the great trip away with you.What a lovely area to visit.Cheers from NZ
Thanks, it sure was a real beauty spot, glad to have you watching from so far away 👍
Lovely video, thank you 🥃
Cheers for that 👍 🥃
Lovely to see these smaller, out of the way, spots. Thank you!
Its worth exploring some of these tucked away spots sometimes 👍
@@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot Definitely, thanks again for featuring these two.
Poor Kiera, there are some lovely places you visit. Love watching
Thanks Scotland is full of them. Yep, poor Keira but 2 mins later and she is jumping about playing again.
Another great travel episode Mike. Well told, beautifully filmed and edited. Yes Scotland is quite lovely. I love places that are on the water.
Thanks Naz, we are spoiled for beaches here and there are plenty of beautiful ones down Mull of Kintyre.
One of your best videos! Never been there, would like to. Cant wait to get back to my Scottish vacations
Thanks for the feedback Marie, glad you really liked this one 👍
Kintyre is on my list for September, so thanks to your video, makes me really look forward to my trip. My two hates the shower too. thanks for sharing. ATB
Its very peaceful and quiet there, but sometimes that's just what we all need. The shower had ro be done, poor Keira, like yours she hates it.
Wonderful video, loved the drone shots.
Mmm that ice cream looked to have hit the spot. TFS.
Thanks Dawn, yes it sure did, we like our ice cream 🍦 🍨 😋
Great video pal 👍👍👍🐕
Cheers mate
Just love Kintyre. One of the last remote feeling areas in Scotland. I’ve stayed at Machrihanish a couple of times now. Great film once again guys and good to see Keira enjoying herself.
Thanks Alan, it sure is a very peaceful area, not a lot to do, but sometimes that's just the way we like it. Keira had fun with Archie but she gave him a good telling off with a snap a bit later on.
Great video again, love all your background information. Thanks. Btw one of our dogs also HATES water. 💕🐾
Thanks, Keira is generally ok with water but a cold shower? no, she hates that.
Absolutely beautiful, Kintyre is one of our future destinations, hoping to get to the Rhins of Galloway soon 🤞thanks both and Kira of course, our spaniel loves the shower fortunately 😁
Thanks for watching, you are lucky that your spaniel likes the shower, its strange she doesn't mind going in water but a shower....now thats a different matter
Really great and interesting, wee Keira 🥰🥰🥰⭐️
😊 thanks, Keira is our wee star 🌟
That's a really beautiful part of Scotland. I remember driving my parents around there on the way too and from Skye with my mum in the back singing Mull of Kintyre. Well I say singing but you couldn't really call it that and she seemed to be making the words up as she went along. I will always remember the rugged beauty of that little area though. So once again, thanks for stirring up my memories. If I haven't told you this before, my dad's people were originally Scots and my mum was Jewish. Two of the peoples you'll often hear described as right fisted. Having had considerable experience of both cultures all I can say is " that's a out as far wrong as anybody could be ". Anyway, I did feel sorry for poor little Kiera, she clearly was not keen on the chilly shampoo and set. 🙂
I have to agree with you on all fronts, the scenery and tranquility of the whole Kintyre area makes it a special place to relax and enjoy. Thanks for sharing your story and for watching and commenting.
Love the videos. Going that far you should have come over to Islay for a few days I’m sure you would have enjoyed, lots of history.
Its not that far for us, definitely want to do Islay but its Skye next.
Look's nice out there good video as well any way see you next time .
Thanks, it was a great spot👍
Looks like you had better weather than I had round Inverness and fort Augustus.I'm down in North Berwick now and it's been misty all day. Mull looks nice but I think I'll try Arran next or Skye, maybe next summer. Glad you enjoyed your trip :)
Thanks, yes we had a great time and it was before the recent down pours and mist that you are getting. Arran and Skye both good choices, I would pick Arran, having said that we are going to Skye in a few weeks.
I hope you are both okay, love your videos, i am connected to scotland so love the scenery, god bless
Thanks, yes we are fine thanks, had a wee break from filming during busy school holiday period, but in Skye now so thats next.
@@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot \am so glad you are fine, i was afraid you had taken the jab and was no longer with us , my imagination runs wild, but so many are dead from this these people will pay, tribunals are on now a big one in germany . God bless
@@hilarysheppard3834 thanks, God bless and stay safe.
Lovely video. Took me back to our Arran-Kintyre-Islay-Cowall-Bute tour a couple of years ago. That ice cream looked good (BTW Gigha is pronounced 'gee-a') and I hope is was flavoured with the real thing!!
Apparently it was favoured with whisky, it tasted good, but not enough whisky 🥃😄
I didnt know the pronunciation so thanks for that, I'll remember that now. We have never done island hopping, one for the future.
No wonder poor Keira wasn’t happy poor pup, being doused in cold water 😤 you could have brushed the sand out 🙄 wicked parents, hope you felt guilty.
We’ve been up to the Castle at Tarbet, cracking views across the water from there.
That looked a neat little campsite, we will remember to make a note of it.
Meal looked good Trish, we’re partial to Fresh Salmon, a delicious and quick meal.
Thanks Gillian, we have since been reported for cruelty to puppies for cold showering and made to take cold showers ourselves to see how we like it....brrrrr. Thanjs as always for the comments and for watching 👍
Thanks guys 👍😊
Thanks Peter, love your films by the way 😉🤣 bet you have never had that one before 🥱
Love all your videos very professional and very informative. Thank you.
David Bowie
Thanks, really glad that you are watching and enjoying our vids. Love Bowie btw
Hi...Hope all is well with you both...missing your clips..x
Hi Helen, we are all fine, thanks for asking. New video coming out this week. 👍
Creag Meagaidh, I’d have to guess is pronounced Craig Meggie. Born in Kintyre so I can have more confidence in the local pronunciations there. 😉
Correct, we figured you were from Kintyre area to know these, they are easy once you know.
good vid
Cheers mate
🎊🎊🎊🎊👌🏽
😃👍👍👍
Hi. Not seen you put anything on for awhile, hope you are all well.
We are all good thanks, just catching up with some things at home and other responsibilities but will be back on the road soon and off to Skye so look out for that one 👍
Cracking video. All previous have been good, but this is very clear, have you had some new gear or is it just that the suns out?
Thanks Mark, just the sun out i think, still using Osmo Action which is better in bright light.
Lovely vlog! An area we’ve not been to! I hope you don’t mind me asking, how do you manage in the camper with Keira in bad weather (rain) is it difficult to dry her off, store wet towels, coats, boots etc? Would love to hear you’re experiences, as looking at whether we could manage with our cocker spaniel 🥴 thank you xx
We always seem to get by, we have a cut off at about 6pm or so, and no getting mucky after that so she gets a good towel down and we can hang the towel outside to dry under the wind out canopy. We have waterproofs, but get very light weight ones that can shake semi dry and again hung outside or inside for a short period. We cover it a bit in this one....
Will send link separately

@@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot thank you, I’ll take a look 😎
Do you think taking a touring caravan to the region is a feasible option. It looked like a couple of caravans were on the same site as you, but I was wondering about towing generally in that region
Yes definitely, you shouldn't have a problem and once pitched up you can unhitch and explore.
Brilliant vlogs, can I ask what size is the Ridgemonkey you use please
Hi, thanks, we have 2 sizes, large and small. The large is small and the small is tiny. So we always use the large 🤣.
@@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot 😂😂😂thanks, I think we've got caught now up with your vlogs which we have thoroughly enjoyed, we're looking forward to going away next month in the one we have rented to find out if a campervan is for us 😁
@@helenbaxter3016 we hope that the good weather is still here for your trip. Renting is a good way to figure out if it's for you so fingers crossed 🤞
Where is WBV - much missed.
Thanks, just taken a break from the van for a few weeks but now editing our Skye trip.
We’re you on Skye recently - sure you were on the same site as us - if not there is a twin
Hi Jon, you should have came over to say hi, yes that was us, first video goes up today at 5pm.
@@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot aye I know it was only after driving away I was like “was that…” great video and it’s always jam before cream 😌
Drunken Sailor ? It should have been Andy Stewart singing Cambletown Loch, I wish you were whisky.
Ha ha, yes it definitely should have been but would have got a copyright claim.
Does your wife have an only fans I could subscribe to?
Good video but -
Muasdale pronounced Moo-az-dale
Gigha pronounced Gee-a.
Stopped watching.
We are just back from Creag Meagaidh, how would you pronounce that?
Pronoucned Geeaa.
Thanks, we know now 👍
was in campletown last week campin and fishing
It's a great place for a relaxing break 👍
Thanks lovely video. We were on Arran recently and the view over to the other side of the Kintyre Peninsula was stunning, Now on my top visit list.
We couldn't see Arran it was on the other side but we love it there, not been in the van yet but its on our list 🤣
