Please note: it''s easier for me to answer questions on RUclips, either as a comment on a video or as a comment in community. As the channel grows I'm going to struggle to answer everyone's questions on messenger, or Facebook.
Thanks!
We didn't go all the way down Glen Etive, we were getting worried about the thunder and lightening.
at the end of the road is the most beautiful place you've may seen
Stunning scenery
I love the way Poppy is so eager to explore her new surroundings on her walks.
Glen Etive wonderful glen. At the end of the road at the Loch side it's lovely.
Thanks for taking us on another brilliant tour. I've so enjoyed it. -Lin xx
Thanks Lin. Starting another one tomorrow. Hardly had chance to get my slippers on!
Enjoyed our trip ... it’s always good to get together
Today we had to cancel our long awaited trip to the Highlands. My husband is a cyclist . 10 days ago he hit a pothole lurking in the dappled shade and ended up in hospital with multiple injuries including a broken shoulder blade and punctured lung. He will mend, but it will take time and, realistically, we’re now looking at going next year. You would think watching your trip would be like rubbing salt into the wound - it isn’t. Sharing your enjoyment of this beautiful location eases the disappointment. Thank you both for taking the time and trouble to do your excellent vlogs.
That's awful, hope he gets better soon. Some of the roads are really badly potholed especially at the side.
Thank you for another nice trip out with you in the highlands :D We used to visit this Glen often when we first started to go to Scotland for our holidays ( over 20yrs ago) it used to be so so peaceful. However since the James Bond movie and the people doing RUclips vlogs about wildcamping down the Glen it has altered the feel of the place too much for us. The road now has far more traffic than it used to do and due to it being narrow this can make it awkward in parts.I think you were wise to turn around where you did due to the weather. The last time we drove to the end the area was full of leftover wildfires empty beer bottles and larger cans!!! so we have not returned since ! We hope you have a safe journey home and thank you for sharing your holiday with us all atb :D Teddy
It didn't seem too bad traffic wise, just as well.
That was good then :D
Another very enjoyable video Bob and Jenny ,thanks .Look forward to the next one
Unbelievable! Two weeks gone just like that. We really enjoyed that, thank you both and Bob and Eileen. She made us laugh while taking the photos of the piper. Safe journey home and look forward to your southern tour.
Glen Etive and Glencoe are awesome in all weathers. Great video as always. Each time I watch your videos, it like I am there with you both and Poppy.
Glad you like them!
I some how managed to delete all the footage...you make us laugh ..Again thanks both.
Came across your channel while looking at motorhomes, as me and my wife are hoping to get one sometime, (not sure when though) and i have to say we love your videos ! The places you visit are amazing and makes me wonder why on earth anyone would go abroad, well apart from the weather !!!! Love Poppy, what a lovely little dog, our female Shihpoo Tyler likes watcjing her run around enjoying herself:-) Love the motorhome show walkaround videos aswell! Keep up the fantastic work Bob, and Jenny and Poppy :-)
Thank you very much, glad you enjoy the channel.
Another great video keep them coming
Brilliant 👍
The best one I've seen to date
Hi Bob. Enjoying your tour, yes there is a car park at the end, have a look on google earth to see what you missed and for future trips where you are not sure of the roads, l find it very useful.
Just watch Andrew Ditton live stream, very entertaining he mentioned midges, we have never had much trouble with them, I can only remember two places the fairy pools on Skye and Glen Etive carpark.
Thanks, we had no mobile signal when we heading down there, perhaps I should get more paper maps, like we used to!
Can't wait to do a Scottish tour after seeing your vlogs its just stunning thankyou so much. Xx
Thoroughly enjoyed your "Mini" tour of the highlands and islands. You always look to be sooo relaxed when filming. Do you ever have "blooper" moments? Obviously something like that video with the drone. If so could you do something like "It'll be alright on the night"
Thanks, that's a thought...
Enjoyable watch again, thankyou.
We drove up a track road like that in wales today in a transit camper van, bikes and even a sheep dog laying down in the road so he must have been trained to do so, my Mums village in Bempton Yorkshire still do the honesty boxes love your scenery , forcast was the same for us but I got sunburned today crazy weather, I still use my camera that Dan gave me, love your videos only subbed to a few , my Dads best friend had a westy , my dog passed away so heart breaking too hard to get another but I would love another only get one from a dogs home :)
Thanks, it's hard to lose your dog I know.
I also drove down this road was lovely, I will always remember this road as a deer runner out infront of my car haha
Did the same as you some years ago, seemed never ending. We never got to end as had same fear as you about turning.
Someone commented, there's a car park at the end. Ah well, next time.
You have just raised the bar with this one.
Thanks Bob great scenery looks like some roads and scenery in NZ.
Fantastic tour Bob and Jenny, really enjoyed all of your videos of this tour. Great job!
Brilliant thanks for sharing your video 🥂
Have really enjoyed the tour, being new to motor homing have given us some great places to head for. Scotland really is a must.
Loved the whole tour. Thank you so much. Xx
Who is it we should be following please to see you meet up. Strangely Marie and Fan mentioned you today!
@@margaretlewis7125 Do you mean Dan and Mazzy, yes we watched that earlier. We'll be filming the meet ups, more details in the video next week.
No I watch Dan and Mazzie. Strange to hear them mention you today and your window problem. I thought you mentioned someone called Dickinson but I could have been mistaken xx
@@margaretlewis7125 we mentioned Andrew Ditton, who we met up with on North Uist.
Great video as ever. This just reminds us what a beautiful country we live in. Well done 👍
Great tour Bob and Jenny look forward to your next trip which is almost straight away !! Keep the videos coming 👍🏻😄 Trev n Sue
I took my ducato all the way to the end ( there is a car park there) and stayed the night loch side. it was amazing and the best place ive stayed in Scotland. The deer are everywhere in that area too.
Thanks for a great series. I always get the bug to travel back to the highlands when I see it on camera. So beautiful! I would say on your next trip to the Outer Hebrides please do go down to Barra and Vatersay. The beach at Barra has the worlds only scheduled commercial beach landings and is a sight to behold and the island is stunning. Vatersay has some other amazing beaches and historic sites such as the WW2 Catalina remains. Thanks again for sharing your trip 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hi Bob and Jenny great video love Scotland always great views . Just a thought maybe should should try some walkie talkies for when your apart, that’s what we use .
yes, our friend Glyn has walkie talkies, which we might need to use on the next trip.
All them views who added to the count ...so deserved 👌
Really loved this trip 👍💟
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
It’s a pity you never went to the end of Glen etive there’s a car park up there were you could have got turned around you would have got amazing views across the loch and the surrounding area 👍🏻
Another reason for going back. We were getting worried with the thunder and lightening!
I'm still waiting on a good opportunity to recreate the "Bond " scene in Glen Etive.....as its always jam packed with cars or raining every time we've been bar once when it was snowy
We've been following along. Thank you for sharing.. Love the videos. All the best. Watch out for weed eaters!
Hi
Really enjoyed watching your tour.
When you get the 59 2 please demonstrate how to make the bed and let us know how comfortable it is.
Feel free to have a practice off camera first!!!!!!!
Yes, will we have that Bailey for over 2 weeks, so I'm sure we'll cover that bed in great detail.😁
I've really enjoyed this tour, the scenery has been absolutely stunning, so thank you both for sharing it.
The bites you get on your ankles, are probably from fleas, rather than midges, as they hop up from the grass.
I'm curious why, baring in mind it's summer, you have the windscreen cover on, especially when you have that view of the loch, with no-one else in front.
Smidge obviously works on the fleas too then. The front cover keeps itcool in summer plus it gives us a bit of privacy, people walking past, while we we filming inside. Didn't have it on all the time.
Thanks for the reply. I did wonder if privacy was a reason, but it didn't look like there would be people walking in front, where you were parked.
Hi both. Enjoying your videos. Would be interested to know if you book your pitches in advance, given that in recent months we’ve had problems finding pitches in several areas. Last time we were in Scotland we were forced to wild camp.
Yes we always book in advance. Wouldn't want the worry of not knowing where we are staying.
That was just AMAZING - TOTALLY AWESOME !!!!! : O ........ No No - THE GODS are not angry because you all are there - they are telling you all - " WELCOME TO WHERE WE HANG - OUT " : o ...... It is just beautiful rain or shine : ) ....... Thank you sooooo much for taking us all along - an adventure to remember : o ........ Till the next one : ) Peace on Earth : ) ......
Hey Bob Could you do some Screen grabs of maps or google earth to id the location in say a 20 mile radius
If you go into google maps and look up Glen Etive, it's literally the middle of nowhere!
@@BobEarnshawMoHo yep but would be good in the video as a 2-3sec still just to give context.....go on give it a try :)
11:56 me-thinks you should be prospecting for gold here Bob! Get you some petrol £money!
There wouldn't be enough gold in there to pay for a fill up these days. 😁
Really enjoyed following you on this trip, can I ask, did you pre book all the sites you stayed on before you set off and if so how far ahead do you book generally ?
Yes we pre booked the sites. This trip we booked back in October I think. For the really busy sites we sometimes have to book a year in advance. We like to plan ahead, for us that's part of the enjoyment, planning a trip.
I dont think you realized the laybe you was stopped in was where James bond stopped with his DB9.in Skyfall...I stopped and joked with you, saying your motorhome was not a DB9, but you looked at me and didn't have a clue what I was talking about.
Sorry, I probably didn't hear you then, as I was aware of the Skyfall connection, but didn't know that was the layby. Where was that in the video?
@@BobEarnshawMoHo It is the bit where he was on the run back to his old family home....in the video you can see the house but it does not exist in real life !
@@TeddyWandererCamera-Bear sorry I meant in my video. Did I film the lay by? We stopped in 3 places.
@@BobEarnshawMoHo The one where there was a car already parked and someone asked if it was a passing place ? and you said yes but there is enough space :D I think it was that one ?? at 1.58
@@TeddyWandererCamera-Bear thanks, I did wonder where it was.
