  • We are on a 7 week trip exploring Scotland in our 11 year old Motorhome, with our two dogs. We live 9 months of the year in our van, and unfortunately we are starting to discover it is absolutely NOT meant for this.
    Catch up in this viodeo as we explore the Aviemore area, feed Reindeer and discover a big leak that threatens to ruin our trip and our motorhome.
    We are Corrin and Paul and with our two dogs (Pippa and Dolly) we have travelled to 23 countries in Europe

      @@redsgotravels we stayed on the beach until approx 11pm but it was too cloudy. My daughter dropped us off back at High Range campsite and went to her lodge on the campsite in the other side of the roundabout. Around midnight got a call from her all excited saying she could see them. We went outside the campsite near the Italian and could see the massive white beams swirling. Our phones did not pick up the links and greens as ours are old phones. My daughter took some fantastic ones with her iPhone on the settings she was told to use.

    Skiing Cairngorm Mountain in the 1990's stayed at the Youth Hostel opposite Campsite for a beer at night walked to bar at Glenmore Lodge you pass it on the way to Green Loch. Also used the Climbing Wall at the Lodge. Frost valve's are pain in the neck. A temporary fix I used a clothes peg to lift the valve shut.

    Wow young Redders's , it never rains but it pours . Bit of a downer after such a great vlog but not an insurmountable problem as me and old Mrs Redders recall being stuck with a faulty ecg valve up the pyrenees without a paddle . Never mind , your a sensible lad , you'll sought it . Good to know reindeer dont like being touched , a bit like old Mrs Redders . We have to hold hands of course because that stops us from falling over . Look forward to the continuation . Take care both and love from the old Redders's .
