  • OBAN to the ISLE of MULL on a CALMAC FERRY in a MOTORHOME
    Hello everyone.
    We travelled up to Oban after leaving the Caravan and Motorhome Club site at Barcaldine.
    And then we took the Calmac Ferry across the Sound of Mull to the beautiful island of Mull.
    It was a perfect morning for the 45 minute trip with views back to the mainland and Ben Nevis and across to Mull and Ben More.
    So this video shows how easy it is to taje a motorhome on to a ferry in Scotalnd.
    The start of an epic adventure for us.
    Please join us to see how we get on.
    Dave and Sue.
    MUSIC. Is as always by our friend Serge Pavkin 💙💛. Thank you Serge.

      Hiya Alessa. Hope you and Brett are doing well
      Yep, we fell in love with Mull last week. Never been so blown away by a place ever. We love Skye, the North Coast and the West Coast but Mull has been amazing. Can’t really put it into words - it’s just stunning. We’re currently in Ardnamurchan which is equally beautiful.
      We’re having an incredible trip.
      Thanks so much for watching and glad you enjoyed the ferry. We were both a bit nervous for our first Motorhome trip on a ferry. But we’ve done three now! 😃
      Safe travels you two.

    Aho my friend Dave! Marvelous adventure, and I thank you & Susan for taking us along with you. I am excitingly looking forward to the follow up video once you’re at the campsite. Isn’t it just brilliant to experience new places and new things? To travel around in a motorhome or with a caravan, is such an amazing treat, as well as such a sensation of freedom. Be sure to enjoy every bit of it, and please continue to share your adventures.
    All my best wishes and blessings to you both.

      Oh George. This has just been the best trip ever. I’ve not only seen species for the first time but been able to film them.
      We’ve absolutely fallen for the Isle of Mull. I can’t explain it. Skye is stunning but Mull seems to be less”austere” in its beauty. Eagles, Otters, Red Deer. They’re all here. And showing well.
      I was going to include the wildlife we have seen and filmed in each vid but I’m going to have to compile a whole film on it.
      I’m like a child at Christmas
      Hope you guys are doing well and thanks for your lovely comment as always.

Nice to see you getting drier weather, stunning views (that sunset) and what a place indeed - we need to go back! Cheers Alan

      Fell in love with Mull mate. And Ardnamurchan. Head over heels.
      It’s stunning. - seven days of full Sun helped of course but the people and wildlife were incredible. Had a flyover from a Sea Eagle on our last day. Right over our heads. Plus a fewOtters too. We’re now across in Onich which is beautiful but it’s not a patch on the wildness of Mull and Ardnamurchan.
      You would just love it!

What stunning views already! We couldn't wait to see more of your time on the stunning island of mull ❤.

      You will love the ferry trip to Mull. Hope the weather is good for you.
      You don’t have to go into the Ferry terminal at all. Just arrive at the entrance where a staff member directs you to a numbered lane. From there, you are directed past a booth where they will scan your e-ticket. And then it’s on to a boarding lane to wait before boarding.
