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
Sunshine start It’s time to leave the glorious sunshine start of Morecambe behind this morning. Today I’d be continuing north on my way up to the Outer Hebrides. I expect I won’t be wearing my shorts for too much longer the further north I get, we’ll see. Before I head off anywhere, it’s time to … 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
Harris up Travelling from Lewis from Harris gave me the perfect opportunity to explore some more of the island on my Western Isles road trip. One of the many things that I have fallen in love with in the Outer Hebrides, is that there always seems to be lots more to explore! Lewis might have … Read more
Natures tests Stopping by the sea at Staffin seemed like a good idea. It is a beautiful location plus it’s close to Uig ferry port for the short early morning drive (according to the map). Unfortunately, that night both the rain and wind set in. Unlike my split camper, the roof on the T4 was … 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
Getting Road trip ready This is very much going to be a no-frills, ‘back to basics’ road trip. The back of the T4 was empty when I bought it. The rear area was just carpeted out and the wheel arches boxed in. My minimalist camping interior space. So this is where my idea of interchangeable … 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
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
