    We've been to Dunnet Bay before but never explored the forest. Thanks to you, we did this time and it was lovely. Thanks again..

    I think Keira had the stick so she could play the xylophone.
    John o Groats is so much nicer than Lands End......and free.
    Another nice coffee shop there too.
    The sea stacks are great to see aren't they?
    A great video as always.

    Greetings from Poland.
    There's so much to comment about. This video was supeb. Wonderful shots, great commentary and so many historical facts. I think the three of you had a great time.
    Dunnet Head - the most northest point of Britain. What views across to Orkney. Sorry about the windscreen not being fitted. I just hope it doesn;t crack further. The forestry trail was very interesting. I loved the animal and bird scultures, formed from tree trunks. A wooden xylaphone - what fun. I think Keira prefered her stick rather than having to listen to your playing.
    John O Groats - great photo of the three of you. You put a sticker on the board. Are they available for us?
    The lighthouse and sea stacks were facinating. Thanks for all the info about them.
    Next stop is Inver Caravan Park? See you again soon

      @MikeandTriciaOotnAboot  2 роки тому +1

      Thanks Michael, we enjoyed visiting all these stops along the top of Scotland, the lighthouses were great to see and the different designs in the construction. Keira definitely used the stick as a distraction to out playing. Happy to send you a few stickers if we can find them, if you send us your address by email to weebroonvan@gmail.com

    Do you use the toilet in your van?
    I would love a van similar to yours but just wanted to ask you a question.
    Ps: last question I think!
    Do you have any stickers available?

    • @MikeandTriciaOotnAboot

      On trips like this at campsites we use the loos on site, but if wild camping then we have a porta loo that fits in a cupboard.
      Sure, if you send us your address to weebroonvan@gmail.com 👍

    Tip for Pizza that i saw on Vancity vanlife which should work on you ridge monkey is to heat the top pan really hot and then place the pizza on the bottom plate so gets heat from both side at same time without the mess from flipping :)
