- Опубликовано: 21 авг 2024
- Get ready for a wild ride (literally)! Our motorhome adventure in Fort William took an unexpected turn when we faced a double whammy: a flat battery and a water leak! But don't worry, this isn't a disaster story. Instead, join us as we navigate these challenges with a dose of humor, resourcefulness, and maybe a sprinkle of Scottish charm.

Glenn coe is magical. The white cottage opposite used to be owned by Jimmy Saville.🏴
You are showing the beauty of Scotland and making me proud. Just letting u know if you ever Van around Australia. There is plenty of Chinese food 🤣🇦🇺
You know what guys, I’ve been in serious need of cheering up recently and this vlog has done just that. Thank you so much xx
awwww that’s ok that’s why we are here xxx

your very welsome xx
Vlogs just get better & better. The expressions you pull Lisa is priceless and amazing editing as always Mark.
awww thank you ❤️🐕
Thank you soooo much Guys for Fort William. It is very, very beautiful. Stunning. It's really good of you you to share all this with us. You 're also going to be taking a lovely memory with you in the Magnificent Hamish 😂😂😂
Sorry about the battery. A bugger that. At least clever you Mark can get a charge and get it going down to where you can get a replacement. Imagine if this had happened during all those horrendous storms where you were pretty isolated. Brrrrr'. So you're still ahead Folks💪👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Take Good Care on the road to Glasgow 🙏. We'll be looking out for you and catch you there. Until then....lots of love, hugs and kisses 🤗🤗🤗😘😘😘 and one for Hamish😘😂🐂❤
aww thank you sheila ❤❤
Hi guys🙋🏻♀️ always a joy watching you both, also so many giggles especially Marks antics and Your face Lisa…. 🤣 so pleased the weather is a bit kinder to you now, looking forward to more Wanders💐❤️
thank you lesley xxx
Wow, spectacular scenery❤❤❤
just amazing
I've always thought Scotland was beautiful, but now I've seen so much of it - via you guys! I do love Loch Ness....I wish I lived there with my 2 small dogs. As you would say Lisa - 'absolutely gorgeous!' 😍I'm so glad you got your super cute Highland cow!
hi susan it was so nice spending 4 days there could of easily done longer xx
Scotland has got to go on my bucket list. Thanks guys for sharing and showing us some beautiful scenery. Hello Chico looks like you have a new friend to keep you company while JP is on his travels lol 😂🥰
he is int doing to hamish what he did to JPs arm lol
I stumbled accross your vlogs last week and I'm working my way through them all. Your enthusiasm for the places comes across so well. The drone footage takes the vlogs to another level, topped off with perfect background music. Ive especially loved your tour of Scotland which made me so homesick. Keep doing what you do and a HUGE thank you for sharing your journeys at home and abroad ❤
hi karen welcome to the channel thank you for such a a lovely message and glad your enjoying xxx
So picturesque especially a selfie with an Highland Cow 😊...That cable car mark mentioned sounds like a plan...👍
🤣🤣🤣❤️🤦♀️🐕
Hi guys! Ive not long discovered your channel and its brillant! You are both making me laugh so much! Thanks. I'm living in Cambridgeshire at the moment but have lived in several places in the UK. The most friendliest people for me are always to be found towards the North upwards! Enjoy yersels! Aye! 🙏🙋🇮🇪🏴😁
hi cathrine welcome got the channel and so glad to hear you are enjoying our travels xx
Great video, guys, I love that part of Scotland. Another beautiful place is Loch Arkaig, with views to die for. Take care, (still waiting for Mark to buy a kilt! )Thankyou for the tour.
can you imagine ❤❤❤😮😮😮
Despite living in my car with the two dogs I have the highland cow my late hubby bought me at the Jacobite centre at Loch Ness the day before he died, when open they have lots of real highlands too, he goes everywhere with us, cable cars are great but choose a clear day or you won’t see the stunning views, and winter is best time for fort William and fort Augustus you can queue an hour to park come May
I was sitting all anxious waiting and hoping you would buy the cow......so happy you brought him home! 😊
Us too!❤️🐕
Thank you both. Brings back forgotten memories of holidays past. ❤️ Hope Hamish travels well and Chico enjoys his company 🤣
Our pleasure!
Loving your vlogs, always so interesting and fantastic scenery. I am chronically poorly have been for a long time so can no longer travel. Your videos keep me going. I feel like I visit these places with you. Thank you Lisa Mark & Chicco xxx
❤Stunning footage Mark and Lisa. Aw Cheeko loves Hamish❤ We love living in Scotland waking up to see the hills is amazing, I just couldn’t live anywhere else.❤After you fit the new battery. We wish everyone Safe travels ❤
Glad you enjoyed it 🐕❤️
lovely, so atmospheric,great video. Thanks.❤
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you for the upload guys, stay safe ❤
Our pleasure!🤣🐕
If the vehicle is manual, always dip the clutch when you start as you are not only turning the engine over, you are turning the gearbox, full of cold oil too, which takes more out of the battery. Dip the clutch, especially in wintertime, when the oil is thick.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Again absolutely loved this ,keep up the really interesting and fun videos.
thank you sharon ❤️❤️🐕
You two are so funny….thanks for taking me to places I have been to with my Stan, my late hubby….x
joan you are very welcome ❤️❤️🐕
Another GREAT BUY LISA.
This is definitely your day.
YUM, YUM, YUM 😋
❤️❤️❤️🐕
@@NorthernersonTour 😘😘😘
Wow brings back the memories, was there around 15 years ago, great thing was nothing was closed, shame wasn't same for you
That odd colour cow is called a blue roan !!
We had the same issue with the same window on our swift caravan. It was pouring in when it rained. My husband bought some clear strong sealant and put it around the window and it has worked a treat. A tube of sealant versus hundreds of pounds is worth a shot. Hope this helps.
yes that’s the root we will be going down xxx
Love watching you guys ❤️
thank you, Linda❤️❤️🐕
Great watch again guys Fort William looks lovely and as you said wetherspoons in Whitby alot more expensive than Bridlington 😮 take care. Paul &Elaine x

Lived in fort william for 7 years. very nice in the summer. Thanks for taking me back down memory lane. Beautiful scenery in the lochaber area & glen coe.
Glad you enjoyed it ❤️🐕
Mark's comments are priceless, he has me howling on every adventure. 08:22 Wow I was almost astonished 12:02 I thought he had missed it but his nose never lets him down. Another fabulous adventure can't wait for the next one.
😂😂😂😂thank you so so so so so much ❤❤
I've always thought that lochness was smaller well you live and learn , thanks Lisa and mark
I love your new toy Lisa, Hamish he's cute. About 10 years ago one of my sons bought me a tiger it's about 3 feet long and a foot and half wide, I never forget he stuffed part of it down his jacket, it's head was stuck out and my son bought it for me on his motorbike. I still have the tiger but I can't have it on my bed as I used to as my 2 dogs sleep on my bed and they attack it. So for now it's in my wardrobe. Xx
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you guys for sharing, so beautiful in Scotland 💛💛
your welcome
Love you guys. You always make us laugh out loud.
When you’re next up in Scotland go and take a look at Loch Morar. There’s a real monster there!
Safe travels guys.

@@NorthernersonTour there really is 😳
😉
Absolutely love those cows from the penny toffees when I was a kid - we have a few near us in Cumbria. Thanks for the video guys - stay safe.
yes i remember those toffees
We absolutely LOVED this video! We were in Ft. William in Oct. 2022. We even bought soup and rolls from the ladies at the Nevis bakery where you peered in the window. 🥰
We didn't know there is a Highland museum near the model t statue. We were sad to miss it and can't wait to go back. Thank you for such wonderful content. Amy & Graham
Glad you enjoyed it!🐕❤️🐕
Your face was a picture with Hamish.. love him ❤️❤️❤️
❤️❤️❤️🐕
Another excellent 🏴video 🙌🏼👏🏼😎 So glad you finally saw some Highland Coos….I just loved Chico’s reaction to Hamish too 💖
Glad you enjoyed it he is a little tinker 🐕🐕
Aww Lisa! So glad you went back to get the cow! It’s absolutely gorgeous ❤ I’m envious !! Thanks for another great vlog xx
You are so welcome!❤️🐕
Love Fort William. I had my photo taken next to that statue. Bought a little highland cow toy last year and also called him Hamish!
how funny 🤣🤣❤️❤️
Did not know you were both up my neck of the woods could came.said hello. I'm in Kinlochleven been up here over five years. Kinlochleven is 7 miles from Glencoe. Enjoying your videos. I need to get started with videos. Great stuff guys.
❤❤❤❤❤Chico is well pleased😂😂😂😂😂😂
A lovely new friend to keep him company during the bad weather. Great Buy Lisa❤❤❤🎉
🤗🤣🤣🤣🤣❤️🐕❤️🐕❤️
Stopped in Fort William for food supplies for our week on the isle of Carna last November. Stunning place, we stopped at the Glenfinnan viaduct on our way through which was also a nice sight. Glencoe though has got to be the most spectacular place I have ever seen.
yes glen cow is another level
Most people who walk the west highland way
Get there picture taken
With the man with sore feet
Brilliant love fort William

I worked up at The Highland Hotel behind the 'church'. Great views

Awww thank you so much ❤️🐕
So glad you got that Highland Cow, it's gorgeous. Xx
I love him ❤️❤️🐕
Nessie was first "spotted" in 1933, if we guessed it was 10yr old then, she would be at least 101yr old today.
Most of the city bikes are now Peddle assist so you have to peddle and the electric motor helps you. The other type are twist and go, and your scooters are twist and go.
❤️👍🏻❤️👍🏻🐕
Stunning scenery, loving Scotland. Chicco looked so cute with Hamish! Your tea was a fantastic bargain 😊
thank you susan 🐕🐕❤️

Hi guys, I found this info on the statue in Fort William
This statue, simply called “Man with Sore Feet” was made by David Annand and has marked the end of West Highland Way at Fort William since 2010. The West Highland Way is a long distance footpath in Scotland. It stretches for 96 miles, from Milngavie in Glasgow's northern outskirts to Fort William.1 July 2017
Thanks for a great vlog. We visited Scotland many yrs ago, and your episodes have reminded us of how beautiful Scotland is.❤

Really enjoyed this vlog the banter between you both makes me laugh, could have eaten the breakfast looked so good, The loch didn't realize it was so vast. You have a leak in the widow bot , I have a leak in my leg I have edema, the cat fell asleep nr me and slid off using my leg as her breaks. That was over a wk and still going. You bring so much happiness showing us that cant go out how beautiful these places are. Your eye brows looking fab. And Mark has such a dry wit.

thank you and welcome to the channel xxx
Hampshire is gorgeous xx
😮Its behind you😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was in Fort William last Friday and Saturday . Parked on long stay . High winds all night . Couldn’t believe how deserted the town was on Saturday . I travelled up through Glencoe . Nightmare on the A82 with Lorrie’s on bends by Loch Lomond squeezing around bends. Take care driving down to Glasgow . Great vlog .
yes the wind has been horrendous
the Amazon stuff in the charity shop is a thing ,customer order random stuff on amazon ,something they think the charity shop could sell ,then they get it delivered to the charity shop for them to sell , i worked for Amazon delivery for 7 years and this is quite a normal thing
2014 Bolero cab window was rattled loose by potholes believe it or not.Had to cut the window out of its moorings and reset. What a pain. Did the same trip as you’re doing in October enjoyed every rain soaked minute.
OH MY GOD LISA!!!!😅
WHAT IS CHICO GOING TO SAY ABOUT HAMISH?????😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
PLEASE KEEP FILMING TILL YOU GET BACK TO THE VAN AND LET US SEE CHICOS' REACTION ♥️ 🙏
He's lovely by the way. Great buy 🎉❤
Aaawww I love Fort William
And I really love your wee coo Hamish. I'm glad you bought it, I would have too ❤😂 xx
he has settled in very well xx
Hope you guys get the van sorted and Diane love's the cow.
Beautiful scenery and great music .
thank you ❤️🐕
My husband always tells me when our furbaby does a wee or poo, must be a man thin. I absolutely love your moo cow Lisa, soo cute but not half a cute as Chico, his little tail wagging like mad when you open you door. Love you video this week, the Loch looks amazing. Happy travels x
i sometimes think his tail will fall off lol x
Fabulous vlog, love the drone footage and the music. The statue of the man with his shoe off is, I think, at the end of the West Highland way so will have something to do with that. Aww Lisa, I really love Hamish your heilan coo and am so glad you managed to actually see some. I absolutely adore them xx
they are the best judy such a magnificent animal
The statue is called The man with sore feet. It marks the end of West Highland Way.
yes a sinus fibre has sent us info on this stair thank you
I’d suggest getting your panoramic window inspected by a Swift dealer there may be a hairline crack letting in water. If you do spot a crack you can use clear Gorilla tape as a temporary repair.
we will be getting it sorted ❤️🐕
Hi there, we went up Ben Nevis in the cable car last year…The restaurant / cafe was a bit dear and very busy…The sights were stunning, and the ski resort was up there too.
I also love The Highland Cows…They are soooo cute…xxx Colleen
i would be so nervous going up there but yes we love the cows
Thanks for sharing your travels Scotland looks really beautiful
it truly is
Keep your fingers crossed for us guys that we might be in the market for a van within the next couple of months and I am dying to get up to Highlands!! You’ve got me sold on Loch Ness. I’ve been to Fort William and Glen Coe years ago but never been up as far as Loch Ness.
My highland coo was bought at culloden battlefield
You must visit it some day called him Toffee 😅
awww i like that ❤️🐕
