did you feel the emptiness inside when you took out the deer...i have felt it and no longer take part...that includes paying others to do it for me...its wrong and we know it...peace
Come on guys a bad description of why you had to leave the site you were not kicked out of anywhere, just because someone else had booked a spot does not mean you would not have been welcomed normally,
Totally agree
☮️🏴🏴🏴🇬🇬☀️🐕
He did say that the site only had insurance for 5 campervan though ...
Where are you able to reserve spots?
Hi , stumbled on your video, I follow various camper/Camping channel’s just subscribed to yours… Ric doesn’t half remind me of “Kent Survival” Simon, is he an older brother or something…? Looking forward to following your adventures…😊
Yes there was even a Reserved notice on that pitch but you still parked on it, you weren't kicked off at all, you should have called ahead like most other people do, and And in France you can do this also at Camping Car Aires.
Kirkcudbright is a lovely place. My dad, as a very young man, was posted there and scratched his initials into one of the panes of glass in a local pub window. Many years later, as a young woman I visited Dumfries & Galloway - staying at The Murray Arms @ Gatehouse of Fleet, and visited the pub and found dad's initials on the glass. He died aged 86 five years ago. I bet his initials are still there to this day..
That's very cool, what pub was it?
@@Touringwiththekids I've been racking my brain trying to remember the name of it.. I've even Googled all the pubs in Kirkcudbright to see if I can recognise it's name and none of them spring to mind. It was an upstairs window, on a landing, on the way up to the Ladies loos at the time. If I come across it, I'll drop you a line.
You were not kicked off.yet another misleading thumbnail to make there videos look more interesting than they are.
Hey guys, gr8 video :) we were the van leaving when you guys arrived, that's a shame you had to leave but glad you got booked for the following night, we have stayed there many times and never booked online, we always just drop them a wee message to check availability but this time we were told if we didn't book online they cant guarantee the booking, we took the chance as we prefer cash payment, pretty disappointing they wont guarantee a cash booking (no cash = no business) anyway hope you guys have an awesome safe adventure .
Ahh you guys! Yeah a big shame, it seems the set up is a little bit silly, with no indication on any of the apps that its bookable, or even on the gate. Hence why we thought we were okay! But still such a unique site that we had to come back and enjoy it properly. Hope you guys enjoyed your stay. Take care!!
See it turned out fine 🤩 so don’t give the sight a bad name
Not giving it a bad name, we went to stay again, so a beautiful park up. However, the system is a bit silly. The sign on the gate says you are welcome to stay as long as there are no more than 5. There was only 4 so we obviously pitched up. I think most people would be a bit peeved at having to leave after pitching up. There was no indication on the gate that it was a bookable site either.
Good video, thank you. You weren't exactly kicked off the site though.... Someone else had booked it, simples
Glad you enjoyed the video 👍
Can’t believe I’ve watched you travel Europe and then you drive by my house! Thank you for selling D&G, particularly the machars
A beautiful area of D&G!!!
@@neildalrymple6292 I would like D and G to remain a secret for the discerning few.
Best Scotch Pie I ever had was at a bakers in Newton Stewart
Thanks so much for taking us along! I am a full-time traveller and been back in the UK for 6 weeks. Cant wait to get going again! x
Amazing! Where you heading to next?
@@Touringwiththekids Whereever I can afford! I always book last minute and go where ever. Have a great week x
I live in SW Scotland Right on the beach next to woodland We see deer almost every day Early morning and evenings you will see them wandering about the roads Sadly quite a few get hit by motorists
How lovely to get to see so many deer! 🦌
First time watching your channel, I have subscribed. I used to go on holiday every year to Garlieston I love the area. I look forward to seeing more. I now live in London but you cannot beat the beautiful Scottish countryside. All the very best to you and yours. Rab
Thanks for subbing! Scotland has a lot to offer! ❤️
Kirkcumbright was the home of many of my ancestors on my late dad's mother's side. Most were sea captains, Hannah's by name.
That's really cool! It's a lovely town
We went to the Galloway Forest Park and stayed at Black Loch! The drive is very bumpy. We love feeding the deer and there were goats along the road too - did you see them? We think you are going to Ireland and we are so excited if you are because we did 2 weeks in our van round Ireland at Easter and the park ups are immense!! From Beth aged 8
Ah no way, I'm sure Black Loch would have been nice! But we were worried we were going to get stuck! We did see the goats as we drove past x
Lots of Aires in France are now bookable in advance as well, but they have barriers that you have to put a code into. It’s becoming more common to prebook, lots of folks would have stayed anyway given all the space but so good that you didn’t as places will be closed if not staying with in their licence to operate.
Yes, we've seen a few of those aires with the barriers!
I love watching you guys. I really wanted this for my children. Freedom. Enjoy every moment as they grow up so fast
Thankyou so much xx
Always wanted to go to Scotland looks so beautiful! Love the boats the kids made, mine would enjoy doing that too
This little corner is so gorgeous! 🏴The boat idea came out of one of Jacks new books, called something like ‘the never be bored book’, it’s really good!!!
Thank you I will have a look!@@Touringwiththekids
This area i visited 30 years ago. So im now going back car camping. Looks awesome thanx
You can tell he's sound running like that. Brilliant place to park and how helpful when no signal. How brilliant. All these people who want to wild camp in Scotland and take the milk and there are such lovely places they can legally park.
You can camp virtually anywhere in Scotland.
Thanks!!! We like to go to the official stops most the time 👍
@paulgray2387 Yes but Paul some people take the mick and park on people's land illegally, get water from churchyard and leave rubbish. Would you want that on your land?
@paulgray2387 No you can't ! Someone owns the land, you need permission, and the definition of wild camping is that you carry your small bivvy tent on foot. Wild camping is never with motorhome, campervan or car !
Hi Guys I am Scottish and have not lived in Scotland for very many years. However we thought that we might retire to Kirkcudbright, very often mis pronounced but sadly it was not logistically possible but we had happy times and holidays exploring if this was going to be possible. Palnackie and Croketford were two of the places that I caravanned with when my parents were alive. But I have to say that Kirkcudbright will always be my favorite it has everything going. Kind Regards Crawford
Great video again. Have you ever been at the grey mares tail on the A708 between Moffat and Selkirk it's a lovely big waterfall with a viewing platform and a walk up the side of it to the top with plenty of parking for your truck I used to park there with the coach when doing tours you will love it
We haven't, but it is on our list! Looks mega 🤩
Yes, it is awesome. I used to take coach loads of folk there, and just a bit further up the road there's a small cafe
Come to Ireland! We are in Ballycastle on the North Coast!
enjoyed the video, hats off to you guys living in the truck with 3 kids and a dog but everyone appears cool with it and more importantly happy. checked the aire and on search 4 sites it states its operated on a first come first served basis. Think the other motor home was being a bit dishonest . Anyways safe travels
Just seen the last bit of the video, how do you book?
Have you tried Tairlaw picnic spot, It has free overnight camping. Its a good one to camp at overnight with your van if you are every back in the Galloway Forest Park.
Hey guys, just been watching your video again to get some tips, after watching it the first time we thought it was about time we payed the Galloway forest a visit so heading there on Monday 😊 just hope the midges don't find us 🤣🤣did you ever manage to get your scotch pie? you would of got one from the farm shop in wigtown, its a great wee shop (also sells arran ice cream😋) and room for parking your van opposite the shop👍
The Isle of Whithorn!!! been there many a time as i lived and grew up around the area, the Steam Packet Inn is a cracking spot for some grub after being out on the motorbike for a ride!
It's a great pub isn't it! and family friendly too which makes all the difference for us.
One of the best villages in Scotland.
13:19 This is surreal I used to stop and sit at this exact spot for lunch in my old courier job running from Ayr down to Dumfries via stranraer nice one
We saw you in Portrush airs at the beginning of July. Just found you on RUclips. Wishing you a every blessing on your adventures. 👏👏
Ah no way! Thanks for watching us, hope you enjoy the videos ☺️
@@Touringwiththekids loving watching your videos. Fantastic way to educate your children. Enjoy the freedom. OX👍
Hi , stumbled on your video, I follow various camper/Camping channel’s just subscribed to yours… Ric doesn’t half remind me of “Kent Survival” Simon, is he an older brother or something…? Looking forward to following your adventures…😊
Oh no, he’s had a few dopplegangers now, thanks for subscribing!
Great vlog guys as always, don't understand if you have to book for that air, you would have thought you would have got a code for the padlock on the gate! Instead of being able to drive on, park up then only to be told the pitch has been booked!! Don't make sense! All the best with your scotland adventures all our love Dave and Bonita
I think that’s it. The sign on the gate didn’t indicate that it was a bookable site at all, simply stating that if there are less than 5 motorhomes parked up, then you are free to stay. It’s unusual to pitch up and then have to move on. Glad you enjoyed the vlog xx
Fantastic to see you all again
Looking forward to your next adventure ☘️
Welcome to South Africa. The next adventure should be a 4 by 4 trip through parts of Africa
Tip for film choice. Put your choice of film on a piece of paper fold it and watch the film that's pulled out of a tin,hat etc.then there'll be no arguments for a few more choices either as you pull another piece of paper out of tin.
Good idea, next family film night, that is what we are doing!!
The park ups look fab!.
The biscuit factory are seriously missing a trick not letting kids in 🤷♀️.
Another great vlog guys🫶🏻
Thanks guys!!! Xxx
Only started watching your channel and really liking it (started with your N.Ireland vids as we live there). Just want to say though that we think its fantastic that your little girl is vegetarian/vegan and making a stand against animal cruelty at such a young age. Well done her 🌱
Ah amazing, thanks for joining us on here ☺️ I will read Piper your comment, she will be chuffed! She's been a vegetarian for almost 2 years now and is very good at checking everything. Proud of her commitment ❤️
Lovely to see you as a family as well as mohomers. We have a van on the drive itching to tour. SW 300 could be the one!
SW300 is a good idea! We haven't followed the exact route, but it is such a lovely area, I'm sure you'll love it!
That road you ran down like all the other forest roads were made for 44ton timber lorries when harvesting
Yeah of course. However we don’t want to be risking damaging our home, so we’re probably a bit more cautious than a timber lorry might be 👍
Those steel wheels need looking after, best to get them sand blasted and coated soon or replacing the steel hubs., I can see the heat building up the scars on the wheels.
Great video guys as always. Lovely to see you on the road again. Definitely given us some ideas for a Scottish road trip
Thanks Tim, Glad you enjoyed it! It's amazing to be back on the road
I don't know the reason for just 5 places at that RAF site but looking at the aerial shots there is place for at least 6 if not even 7
The restriction for 5 motorhomes is a planning issue.
@@Touringwiththekids Ah okay and thanks for the explanation
Woww my nan lives there and I was there 3 weeks ago lovely place . Thankyou another great video especially that stunning water fall
Awww that's cool! We used to live in Kirkcudbright so it was really nice being back in the area!
Such a beautiful family looks like you all had such an amazing time family holidays are the best in the uk 👍
Another great video 😊so much to see around this area
Glad you enjoyed it
Did I see you in coleraine today near mc Donald's are you doing the North Coast of Ireland 😊
You should have looked in the Co-op in Wigtown for pies- right on the Main Street
Ah man, missed a trick there didn’t we!
New country next week eh. Gotta be Ireland and specifically Northern Ireland if you're in Stranraer? Hope it is coz that's where I live. Some great sights to see and places to visit. Can't wait! 😎👍
Could they provide confirmation? Bet not, you ended up in a great spot 👍🏼 great vlog guys 🌹🥂❣️
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it ❤️ it was such a fun week ⭐️
Kirkudbright has an awesome pie shop. Lovely area. My friends moved there last year from Manchester and we're due back this summer
Hope you have a good time!
New sub here. You are an absolutely delightful channel. Thank you.
Thanks for the sub ☺️ and your kind words xx
My favourite place, the isle of Whithorn to overnight in my camping van, when i need to escape Carlisle. Stay there often and everyone is always so friendly. Also visited the Greymares tail on my last visit.
It's beautiful isn't it! Gorgeous views and just a lovely quiet atmosphere x
Just found your channel, some nice and interesting places , always more than happy to pay and use local amenities, need to keep the local economy going , off to explore the rest of your vlogs , at least I know if you can get to the place we can lol, only 8.4m long and not as high and wide , thanks for the info
Hope you enjoy the rest of the videos ☺️ always good to know you’ll fit in somewhere!
You were not kicked off. Stop saying that.
Poor headlining of your otherwise good video.
Ah another great video guys, thank you for sharing the Gallway Forest Park ups, hoping to go there later in the year . Looking forward to seeing where you're off to next ! ( Ireland I'm guessing 🤔☺️ ) Safe travels !
Oh enjoy 😊 it's a stunning forest park. Take a look at the stay the night scheme, there's another park up on the other side of raiders road, we've previously stayed in that one.
Good evening every one I love watching your videos of you and your adventures in your motor your motor home I hope you are all well and enjoying your adventures in your motor home please keep your videos going on your you tube channel please keep safe and warm ❤every you tube videos
Thanks 👍
Stunning guys, love the spots you are on.
Thanks!
Great video. I stayed at the Isle of Whithorn aire last year. It’s a great stopover 👍💙❤️
It’s cool isn’t it 😊
How did the area get the name 'Raider's Road? Is,it leading to a vulnerable hamlet or somewhere?
For a cheap park up try Durham park and ride, £5 toilet but no services or Canterbury park and ride which has full services
We’ve stayed at Canterbury park and ride before, a good stop if you are heading over to France!
Looking forward to being in Germany next week
Great video guys waterfall looked amazing through the drone what drone was that as I'm currently looking to buy a new one
It’s a DJI Mini 4 Pro 👍 fairly new but it’s impressing us so far!
@Touringwiththekids the picture quality looks great thanks for getting back to me safe travels
So good to see you again!
Thankyou 😊 enjoy the video x
If you are in that area for a while or return again you will find plenty of places to stay either side of Luce Bay.
Thanks for the tip 👌
I'm new to this pursuit and really enjoyed your video. Keep up the good work x
Welcome aboard! Glad you enjoyed the video xx
I couldn’t wait to watch u guys see what yas been up too. And 35 mins long too yaaaay loved it guys xxx
How are you funded living in the truck
You didn’t have to pay for your park up in Wigton, then had a wee moan about the price of a beer. You can’t have it always.
Lovely vid guys 😊
Thank you 😁
Why would you make out oh how unwelcoming the Scot’s are we got kicked out no you didn’t don’t make it up to get views
We are not generalising about the Scot’s 🙈 but to read a sign saying pitch up if there are less than 5 vans, to then be told we have to leave… well it is a bit silly.
Thanks!
Thankyou Barbara!!! X
Rosie not a nervous traveller obviously. Shes made herself right at home in the centre console there.
Oh, and only 178 days till your sign is true again 😂
Nope she isn’t nervous at all 😂
I stayed at that lay-by near Stranraer in April back and forth from Belfast and a month in Ireland. I’m guessing that’s your destination. Looking forward to your next vlog.
Did you enjoy Ireland? 🇮🇪
@@Touringwiththekids it was great. Lovely people who never stop talking. Get yourselves a waterways card for park ups. Good park ups and dirt cheap for showers elsan etc. you’ll love it. Pm me if you want more info.
@@Touringwiththekidsbrilliant. Get yourselves a waterways card for parking and Elsa etc you’ll save a fortune. The Irish never stop talking. God knows how they get anything done. Have fun.
How do you know they had booked, did they have proof?
Thanks!
Thankyou Barbara!!!
Scotch Pie: Should've gone to the butchers. I think I bumped into you lot in Tesco Castle Douglas. Scotch Pies there but not great examples of the craft! It's a lovely area isn't it?
Oh no, wasn't us in that Tesco! Absolutely beautiful area, was good to be back
Great video, anyone got any good website they would recommend for purchasing a campervan. Thanks
Shame ye had to leave the other parkup, but the last one was lovely
It was quite nice wasn’t it!
Hi new to all this but what website was it to prebook your spot at the aire, and i know you said it had service's did that mean just water or electricity as well?
You have to call or text if you want to reserve. They have a Facebook page I think. Scar park aire, they might have the number listed on there.
No electricity, just water and black waste disposal.
Sometimes these things ate meant to be guys 😊 you had a lovely stay by the beach too 😊
Oh definitely, that lay-by turned out to be a very lovely lay-by!
Hi guys,, amazing family,love all your videos and adventures with the kiddies ,, enjoy Scotland,, guys would you's not cut a windows both sides in the cab for the kids let them see out a bit more ,, anyways guys keep doing what your doing superb ❤
We plan to, but unfortunately we can't get the windows shipped to the UK.
Carrots beat grass any day of the week.😅
Would love for you to come and visit wales
I feel for your need to have a scotch pie. I mean, how can you have a trip to Scotland and not have one??
Exactly! It’s just not right
I agree the anti camper attitude in the majority of the uk is disgusting other country's make tourists feel welcome we should be ashamed of the not welcome attitude we miserably roll out in this country and before any one says but people leave a mess yes this is true they leave a mess but they come in cars and trains and bikes all I ever leave behind is money stop van life discrimination it's shameful
Well said, not a truer word spoken
When camper vans start respecting Scotland then they will get it back . I’m not ashamed to say it either you don’t have to live here they park in peoples gardens ffs up all night drinking & starting wildfires they have no respect for the people or the land .
Not to mention to tight to pay a small fee to empty their chemical waste but would rather dump it in local streams contaminating the water supply especially in our island communities the locals are sick of it
Great video again ❤x
Thank you 🤗
Omg but there looks like so much other space there🤷♀️
I know, seems mad doesn’t it. But unfortunately it’s a planning issue
Hi how are you doing
Enjoy it while you feel young because when you become old and your limbs don't work as well as they used to you won't be able to enjoy things like that😂
Can I ask what job you were doing in Dumfries???
Life vests near water
Goes with out say your man should not be driving that vehicle its a 7. 5 tonner its not much bigger than a half decent sized caravan, and smaller than a big twin axle van,
Taste delicious! 😂 are they expensive?
The sausage rolls? I can't remember how much they cost 🙈
have yous ever been to the isle of man me and my partner go all the time we love it there yous would all love it try it its so beautifull love watching your videos wish there was more lol 😀
Not yet! Maybe one day x
Is this filmed during summer? Looks so cold, sending some sun from Australia
Haha yes this is the summer we’re having over here 😂
Hi guys can I get the supplier of your door for the lorry please I you don't mind kindest regards Dan
Can I ask what job you were doing in Dumfries???
Ric was a forest manager 🌳
@@Touringwiththekids sounds like a fantastic job
Not the branch manager?👀
Some jobsworth making rules up to suit his lust for power in my opinion
Have fun , caint wait to see were you are. Have a nice week
Thank you! You too!
Thanks for the vid we headig up to ullopool in augusr and the park ups you showed look ideal
Ah amazing, that will be good! Definitely worth a bit of time in this area 😊
@Touringwiththekids it good as we live in big rv so we panic with narrow roads like youse x
I’ve watched a few of your videos regarding Scottish trips but you both don’t have anything nice to say about Scotland
I’m not sure you’ve watched this video properly, it literally starts with us talking about a wee Scottish town called Kirkcudbright where we used to live. Plus lots of other beautiful parks up.
