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
It’s been a while… My task list of things to do on the bus was big. In reality, a bit too big to get everything done before setting off. Some bits will need to wait to get finished off. At least I managed to get a fair chunk of it done. There’s always more to … Read more
Change is constant Having left Luskentyre and Seilebost beach in ‘variable’ weather conditions, once I was on the road again, it wasn’t long before the weather changed again to become a beautiful sunny afternoon. You never can tell. Oh well, it made for a beautiful drive around the southern coast of Harris as I looked … 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
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
Let’s go road trip! Even if it’s just for a few days, a mini road trip seemed like a great idea. Weather was ideal. I’d already been to our local beach a few times for a dip. Water was a great temp for cooling off in the heat. However, no point having a camper if … Read more
Air-cooled hangout At the end of a long, hot day, I remembered a few local air-cooled drivers were having another catch-up at Galley Hill in Bexhill. Always good to have something to look forward to. Any excuse to have a drive out in the summer sun, windows down, music on. Happy times! Galley Hill gathering … Read more
Impromptu gathering by the sea It’s been a while since I caught up with a few bus buddies. So it was nice to have a small socially distanced informal local gathering now the pandemic rules have been relaxed a little. Not quite a VW show as such. Still, it will be nice to see people … Read more
Lochs and mountains Sadly our road trip was now drawing to a close. Fewer lochs and mountains, time to head back south to Hastings again. We woke to bright blue skies. A classic crisp, chilly morning, with even a sprinkling of snow on the roof! Welcome to the highlands! So glad we insulated the camper … Read more
Fabulous Fairy pools The landscape and scenery of Skye are iconic and world-famous. None more so than the beautiful Fairy pools in Glen Brittle, nestled in the epic Cuillin Mountain range. We had heard from locals, that this is one of the most popular places to visit. Unfortunately, because of its popularity, it can get … 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
Making the most of Mull Having visited the beautiful Eas Falls waterfalls and enjoyed the fantastic scenery of Calgary Bay, we now had a brief stopover in Tobermory, the capital of Mull. Nice not to have to rush around on our last day on Mull. It was a chance to have a leisurely walk around … Read more
