Embrace experiences This journey wasn’t about rushing to different places. I wanted to make some small, but hopefully interesting detours on my way back. There were two places in particular I had been wanting to see and experience for a little while now. Following on from my previous trip to Jupiter Artland, I had heard … Read more
Heading south There’s plenty to explore in the Outer Hebrides, but sometimes you might need to head off to the mainland. Good job, there’s plenty to see on the mainland too. These road trip adventures normally begin with a ferry journey just to get you in the mood. All part of the experience if you’re … Read more
Happy 60th… or is it? No, I’m not quite there yet, but my classic VW camper might have reached the grand old age of sixty. Might have? Technically it’s one year older than that… so is it lying about its age or what? When I first got the classic VW bus, I unlocked its m-code … Read more
Heading south The weather coming back from Skye through Glencoe and the Highlands of Scotland was non-stop rain. At least it was happening when I was heading back. Weather wise, for the most part, I’d had pretty decent weather whilst exploring the Western Isles, so I cant really complain. It just compounded a slightly flat … Read more
Island hopping Kind of odd that within the first few days of being on the Isle of Lewis, I’m already hopping onto another Island! The Western Isles are made up of literally hundreds of different sized islands that go to make up the island collective that is the Outer Hebrides. Of these, there are six … Read more
Mile munching The earlier you start, the more you can get done in the day. Having set off at crazy o’clock in the morning, it gave me plenty of time to break the journey up to Scotland into smaller more manageable chunks. Food stops for breakfast and the obligatory tea breaks along the way made … Read more
Time for new adventures… It’s been way too long since I’ve been on a road trip. Lockdowns, Covid-19 and all that’s been going on in the world, travel hasn’t really been high up on the agenda. Fortunately, with successful vaccination rollouts in the UK, things are slowly beginning to open up once again. So if … Read more
Headliner back on track No chance of going too stir crazy in lockdown. A VW camper often presents lots of potential work projects to keep you busy. Fortunately for me, I have the headliner to finish off. Living in the ‘new normal’ of a Covid-19 pandemic, where social distancing is the norm, it’s good to … Read more
Heading to the back With the front two flexible ply pieces for the cab headliner all cut to size and fitting nicely, time to make a start on the rear sections of the bus. In theory, some of these should be a bit easier. Let’s see how that theory works out! When making headliner pieces … Read more
It’s almost that time of the year again! The time when gifts are given. Socks, jumpers, perfume and of course calendars! Well, no cheesy corporate gifts here. As a way of saying a big personal ‘Thank You’ to everyone that reads, follows or likes my website adventures, facebook, Instagram or YouTube posts, then I’ve designed an … Read more
Back to the Highlands… It was time to start our journey to Glencoe on the mainland of Scotland. We’d travelled down from Staffin, staying for our last night on Skye by the Skye Bridge at Kyleakin. This would be our route over back to the mainland of Scotland for the next stage of our road … Read more
Steam power With our time on Mull over, it was time to relax and enjoy the scenic ferry trip back over to Oban on the mainland of Scotland. Sad to be leaving Mull in many ways, but exciting times ahead, more to explore and do on the next phase of our road trip adventure. First … Read more
