Sorry but I think we was all thinking how funny it would be of them bridge collapsed 🤔
Nice one you two 👍😀🐾❤️🍟🍺
The thought did cross my mind 😂 Thanks for watching 👍🏻 Trev
How nice did those chocolate coffees look... Mmmmmm indeed! Thanks for another great Vlog both, amazing scenery and what fabulous bagpipe playing. Cheers both 🚐🤩⛰
There was no coffee in those mugs just pure hot chocoholic chocolate. 😂😂 We opted for large mugs, well we only visited once. It was as much as we could manage though and we were full full full. 😂😂 Thanks for watching 👍🏻 Trev
Beautiful locations again Trev & Sue, thanks for sharing & Happy Birthday Trev 🎉🍾🥂🎁🎂🎉 Keith & Michele.
Thanks Keith & Michelle we have lovely memories from this trip and it left us wanting more. Have a great weekend 😄👍🏻 Trev
Just love bagpipes 🎼shame about the midges 🦟🐜 we have mosquitoes 🦟 don’t like any of them or the bites . Nice scenery enjoy your weekend 👍🌺🙂
Midgies were only a problem for the one day so we were lucky. Thanks for watching 😁👍🏻 Trev
Very nice craft shop, so many pretty things. My favourite of course was the Gentleman playing the Bagpipes :o) thank you for this Sue and Trev xx
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching 😁👍🏻 Trev
Wow what a stunning little club site that Altnaharra is! Very unusual, although like you I don’t think I could hack them midges! The CL looked perfect, in a great village too, loved the piper, really set the scene!
We were so upset about Altnaharra as we were so looking forward to it. I was tired and the weather changed. At Blair Drummond I just had enough and needed a break from driving. The Kelpies was a great tonic. Thanks for following us along the way 👍🏻😊 Trev
Hi another great video, the glass gifts in the glass craft shop were beautiful, I really liked the different coloured hanging rectangles in the window, the light would really catch them. The stop at CoCo Mountain would have been a must for me I love chocolate, the drinks you both had looked scrumptious and Sue’s face says it all. Shame about the midges blooming things!! again you took film of lovely scenery. The piper on the bridge was very brave. Safe journey down to Stirling and have a lovely weekend x
Thanks for your lovely comments again as usual Julie. Have a lovely weekend 😁👍🏻 Trev
Loved the piper! coincidently we had a family member piper at the family wedding we attended this weekend 👍
John it’s a real skill to play the pipes well. Thanks for watching 😁👍🏻 Trev
Really glad to see you got to Cocoa Mountain and Balnakiel Glass, 😋it was a highlight of our trip a few years ago. Shame about the weather and midgies spoiling your plans, but at least with a moho you can (fairly) easily reschedule - that was something we learned about on our latest (Scotland) trip too. 🌧🌦🚐🚢🚐⛅🌤
The hot choc drink was amazing 😉 the reschedule was very straightforward and got us away from the midgies 😁 thanks for watching 👍🏻 Trev
Hi Trev - great video. We did this trip in 2018 - and really enjoyed the views and of course the stop off at Cocoa Mountain. Thank you for sharing your travels through this lovely part of the world. Look forward to more updates. Hope to catch up at the NEC!
It really is a lovely road. Thanks for watching 👍🏻😁 Trev
The last time I was up in Scotland those guys playing the pipes were everywhere. I suppose its a good way to make a living. But its still nice to see.
The piper was very brave on that bridge 😂 thanks for watching 👍🏻 Trev
Lovely views, make me feel like I wish I was still on holiday.. Arran was brilliant just unfortunate the weather was not kinder, we had chocolates from Arran Distillery with Arran cream in them.. Yum... sorry none left tee hee.. Yes Altnaharra is the main home for midges.. so sorry you had to leave early.. but hopefully you will make it back another time. Take care all xx
We were soon over it. Yes disappointing but it was just one of very many wonderful memories we have of our trip. Look forward to seeing Arrran. 😄 Trev
@@PoshcatsCamping Trev, we have taken so many photos and videos, it may take David a while.. Enjoy your trip to Edinburgh in December x
The bridge at the very beginning was absolutely amazing looking Trev. Hope you & Sue have a fantastic weekend my friend!
Thanks Jeff. We loved the piper on the bridge. It was so lucky to see him. Have a great weekend 😁👍🏻 Trev
@@PoshcatsCamping Trev I will have Jo watch this tonight the bagpipes are her absolute favourite she will love this. Guess what I get working & the schools are going on strike here next week. Hopefully they avert a strike by monday otherwise will be not driving till it is done. Have a great weekend my friend!
Oh no that’s not good news. Let’s hope the disputes get resolved 👍🏻
@@PoshcatsCamping I'm sure it will because in next couple weeks we are having a federal election for the prime minister of canada. So the party (the conservatives) if they don't resolve this quickly pretty much its them stamping out any chance of getting elected. Anyways have a great weekend my friend!
13.07 was my favorite part in this episode, nice place.
The river at Carrbridge was very special. Thanks for watching 🙂 Trev
@@PoshcatsCamping my pleasure...
Hi Trev and Sue just catching up after being away. Shame you got chased off by the nasty besties. Juliet would of loved the Craft place. Thanks for sharing P&J
Wish we had filmed more of the arts and crafts. There was so much at Cocoa Mountain and Carrbridge I could have made another video 😁 thanks for watching 👍🏻 Trev
Was that Bagpiper playing that song just for me?? Oh Susannah?? lol! I'm with Sue!! Chocolate!!!!!!!!! Looks quite lovely everywhere there! Did you ever come across The Lochness Monster?? lol! See Trev you need an outfit like that Bagpiper! You'd look very smart! Thanks for sharing!
Susan wasn’t he great and very smart👍🏻Oscar didn’t like him though. We saw Loch Ness briefly at Inverness but sadly no monster. The chocolate was ummmm very rich and filling 🤢 Trev
All caught up now on vlogs lovely Scottish tour your had there must go back there again soon, not sure about the nc 500 route don't fancy those single track roads.
Some of the roads are a bit challenging but take time and they can be very enjoyable. We let lots of cars pass us and took our time. It’s the best way to see more scenery too. Thanks for watching 👍🏻😁 Trev
LOL Had many a lunch in that spot.
That pitch is where the fire was at Grummore.
That is Crisp Mountain behind the site, we got Craig to the top calling it that when he was 6 LOL
This is my last video to watch before thinking about picking Lindsay up from work and heading for Arran.
Catch up when we get back :-)
Thanks David I think we got the wrong day, the wrong weather and the wrong pitch at Altnaharra but it was a beautiful place. We couldn’t walk the mountain due to the weather and midgies but would love to return again in future. Have a great donder 👍🏻😊 Trev
First 😀, great video guys 👍
Hetty’s Motorhome Adventures thanks for watching and being first 😁👍🏻 Trev
Enjoyed watching this, looking forward to the rest of you travels 👍
Thanks for watching 😁👍🏻 Trev
HI TRev , loving your channel, much better than some vloggers who seem to need to talk constantly, one request though , can we see more of Sue please ?, no offence intended much she is much easier on the eye than your good self
Jim thanks for your comments and I totally agree Sue is the pretty one. I will try to get her to do a Vlog without me. That could be fun. 😁👍🏻 Trev
😳that’s the biggest bull I’ve ever seen!
Haha 😂 he gave me an evil glance 😂 Trev
North coast of Scotland... so windy but beautiful! Did you see any Pictish stones?
That’s a great question. We didn’t see any this time but will certainly look out for them next time we visit 👍🏻😁 Trev
Oh that bridge looks precarious. Still catching up on videos. Winging it. No set route. That's unlike you Trev 🤣
Oscar didn’t like the piper. He went bonkers when he came off the bridge 😂😂 Trev
If you are back there’s a camper van meet up at the weekend see link ua-cam.com/video/xYbzwbrOLy0/v-deo.html 👍😀🐾
Trying to come to a meet up this year :) Trev
Face to face with a lorry on a country lane. Eeek that happened to me in Spog 2 weeks ago 🤦♀️
Had to escape the midgies 😂😂 Trev
@@PoshcatsCamping eeew bugs
Travel Trolls UA-camrs are just starting the NC500.
Yes, I think they are taking more time and will cover much more of it. We will be watching to see how they get on. They are going to drive Applecross Pass which we avoided purely due to the length and low chassis on our van. Should be interesting. Thanks for watching 😄👍🏻 Trev
Haste ye back
Indeed 👍🏻😁 Trev
Absolutely beautiful. Nice sharing. I enjoyed watching your video my friend and done my part 👆🏻 & hope you do the same. 😁 Let's stay connected 😁. See you! 😁
Welcome and thanks for watching 😄👍🏻 Trev
Shame about Altnaharra, the logging and the weather.
It was a beautiful place but you saw my disappointment. The wardens were lovely and we felt mean leaving but we just had to move on. Thanks for watching 😁👍🏻 Trev
