Very sorry about the audio levels in this video. It was very difficult to edit the audio in this episode, and this is the best I could do in the time I had. I hope you enjoy anyway 🙌🏼🐶
OMG so glade we do not have midges here Lol
The video was A okay!
Was so happy to see that you'd posted. Sounds fine to me!😄
The audio is fine.
Great video sympathise with the midge thing used to drive me mad on scottish holidays😂😂
10:32 Winston with goggles on and ears flying in the wind. Priceless. Made me chuckle.
🤣 Winston has an attitude. ‘Get back in your trailer’ , ‘no, I’m not,’ 😆 He looks super cute in his goggles x
He does love to run!! 😅
Thanks for watching.
Winston "Riding in the trailer is one thing. The trailer AND the goggles. That's a step too far. Some young lady might see me. Think I'm old and past it!"
I love that tail wag, it’s like a windmill going round and round
Hehe, love Winston's tail that accelerates to full propeller mode as he starts galloping. And adorable with his goggles. He needs the full little automobile helmet / goggle combo like in the old days of motoring. ❤
That's me perusing Amazon now for a dog helmet 😅👍🏼
Thanks for watching.
Midgesomer Murders
After a rubbish day at work Winston in that trailer with them googles on omg laugh I Havant laughed in that way in a long time what a chap he his great video x
I think they suit him 😎🐶
Glad it cheered you up! Thanks so much for watching 👍🏼
The further west you go in Scotland the worse the midges are.
I live on the east coast and there's zero midges during summer 👍
I heard they can get really bad around Galloway forest area, which is where I was 😅🙈
Thanks for watching 👍🏼
@@Roz.S The Isle of Skye and the west coast in general can be particularly bad at this time of the year if the air is still and damp. We tend to go to the North Ledaig caravan site near Oban where the midges are less of a problem because it is on the coast and there is always a sea breaze
Very cool to train him to wear goggles :)
Good to have some ventillation So I have used some midge net material over the vents
Smidge repellant is the one that many folk in the Highlands use - it's a good one. Park in an open space away from trees and overhanging vegetation..... and yes rain doesn't stop the midge. Oh and don't wear perfume etc
I have smidge and the Avon stuff. I think my error was parking the pod in the corner next to the trees 🙈
Thanks for watching 👍🏼
I understand your frustration with the midges. It would do my head it too!! I’d be hoovering out the whole of the inside of that caravan! 😂 love watching Winston with his propeller tail. 😂😂😂
You should have more followers. Your days are so soothing. Winston’s tail alone makes me so happy!
Glad you enjoyed it! I only started vlogging in November, so my channel is growing quite quickly 🙌🏼 Quicker than I expected 🙈 Thansk for watching and supporting
Roz Ripley, last survivor of the Go-pod Nostromo, signing off. Together with Jonesy (played by Winston) 🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳. 🤣
I'm sure "run like the wind" is the rock message Winston took most inspiration from :)
*Safe midge bug protection: Most NATO militaries use a process of dipping uniforms, underwear, socks, etc., in a water/"permethrin" solution. If you are near any hiking or outdoor stores, you can ask about products they have. You dip all clean clothes in the solution and let drip dry. Good to go for 3-6 months. I even think the clothes can be washed and will keep the protection active. Obviously it won't work on exposed skin (that's where regular bug repellant comes in) but, it will work on clothing and any surface you spray on. GOOD LUCK with the bugs!
Thank you 👍🏼
Winston looks very cool with his glasses on. Love watching g your videos. Thanks for sharing 🐕🦺
How you felt walking down that trail is how we feel watching your vlogs 🙂 Thank you .... (We will turn a blind eye to the mozzie murders lol)
I love him having a shout about going back in the trailer, just like a Naughty Child, Bless Him. I am really enjoying this series Roz, Well Done.
Winston is such a good boy ❤
Scotland can be terrible midge season. Zapping them is one thing but as you’ve found, cleaning them up is grim. We always carry a Dyson hand held vac. Light, powerful. Great for keeping on top of the interior and for bug removal.
Congratulations on 12,000 subscriptions 😘😀
Thank you very much! I can't quite believe how fast my channel is growing.
Winston with Goggles on and ears flapping brilliant😂
I liked that part too!
Thanks for watching
Aw Roz sorry about the midges, I have lived in Scotland all my life and have never seen that amount of midges in my life and we have camped all over the country before switching to a caravan…. However we did also love Winston’s goggles, he looked like Biggles… We really hope you don’t run in to anymore we insects and hope that Glasgow City Council haven’t caught up with you regarding ULEZ….. Ps so jealous that you are caravanning 60+ days…. Take care for now both of you
Need to learn - midges are attracted to white and light. And breath. Best weather is full sun or a breeze.
You're so brave to come up here to Scotland in midge season. We have no choice -- but you could have picked a pest-free place! Welcome to Scotland in any case. Hope you two have an enjoyable time despite the midge-numbers being at their height in June. Travel safe!
This was recorded in early May and I didn’t think they would be that bad then 😅 I’m still in Scotland now and, thankfully, not been bothered by them again.
Thanks for watching. 👍🏼
@@Roz.S They're worse than usual this year but the rain does keep them at bay some of the time. Love your channel, whatever's going on. I'm also sharing life with my dog and really appreciate how you roll.
FLIPPING HECK ROS, I know you enjoyed your bike ride with Winston and it did look beautiful, but it also seemed like a really hard few days to,,,midges,,broken lens,,and more midges,,but at least it was raining for you,,Ps keep a check on those murderous tendencies ,,enjoy.
A lot of stuff didn’t go to plan 🙈 my cupboard door also fell off the day before (previous vlog) but we survived and made it through 🙌🏼 Thanks for watching! 😃
Another great video. Sorry about the midges though I know they are annoying, we had one in our bathroom last night and a spider and moth in the hallway, I hate creepy Crawleys. X x
I’m okay with bugs as long as they don’t try and eat me 😅
Thanks for watching 👍🏼
You pop the best quotes up on the screen! Loving your videos and your perspective on life.
Glad you like them! The quotes are a new thing that I’m doing for this adventure series 🙌🏼
Watching and enjoying from Brisbane,Australia.
Thanks so much!
If he could, Winston would tell you the best defence from midges is a fur coat and ears! Great vid, albeit I keep itching.
I think Winston hit the jackpot with you he`s spoilt to death.♥♥♥♥
He is the bestest dog ever though! 🐶 (although I might be slightly bias 😅)
@@Roz.S No i don't think so he`s great. Your ok to. LOL
Hello and good day to you both,
Unfortunately I only got around to watching your video now.
Yes, the mosquitoes or whatever they are can be annoying. When we were still camping, we also had an exterminator that killed the cattle, but you just can't catch them all, so we also have a small cordless vacuum cleaner and whenever we go Whatever we saw, we soaked it up.
Great video, very nice with the painted stones.
If the brakes on your bike are squeaking, it's usually the brake pads (pads) that have become hard and maybe even a bit dirty. Clean them with a little detergent and water with a brush, sponge or cloth. You can also try cleaning the surface of the blocks a little Let's rough it up with some sandpaper or install new ones. Just never put oil on it then you will no longer have any braking effect. Greetings Oldie
👍
Thanks so much! The bike is relatively new, so I think the brakes just need adjusting and roughing up a bit. 👍🏼
Thanks so much for watching and following the adventure 😀
@@Roz.S Yes, yes, almost new, the wheel is ok, but rubber parts age even if you don't use them. See car tires that age yourself at the tire dealer. I once had a bike like that and didn't have any other advice, so I installed leather blocks and from then on it was quiet. Have a good time and don't let the mosquitoes or bugs eat you up. Greetings Oldie👍
Sound was fine 👍. A couple who live in Glentrool called Jayne & Nick created the trail. We were struck with how peaceful it was. We will let Jayne know that you showed the walk. She may well create stones for you. Luckily for us we were there pre-midges 😁 ❤️👍. Enjoyed the video. 👍
It was such a lovely walk!! I’m sure a lot of effort went into it. Tell them thanks from me.
Thanks for watching 👍🏼
Hi Rox, I’ve never experienced midges. I’ve heard citronella and Midge-repelling plants: certain plants repel midges: basil, lavender, elderflower and mint. You should get some for your caravan and van. 🤪horrible things, like mosquitoes.
Thanks for the tips! I’ll give it a go 👍🏼
Thanks for watching
Get Avon skin so soft for youself and a lemon candle and lemon avon for yourself. They hate lemon. Im watching and scratching myself
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
Really enjoyed the video, thanks for posting
Winston's a good boy in as much as he doesn't go for your tyres 😂 My River, a border collie had an obsession with tyres!! Even on wheelie bins!! 🐺 xxx
I think thats quite common in herding dogs. 🤔 I’m sure I’ve heard of another collie that does that. Could be wrong though 🙈
Winston just wants to go faster 😅
Thanks for watching
Get a flextail insect repeller, should work a treat in that space.
Didn’t know what one of those were, so just Googled it 👍🏼
I go up the west coast every May and never had much trouble with midges. Once I went right to the top but usually cut across from Ullapool to Inverness then make my way back down through the Cairngorms. This year I left later and for the first time had a similar experience as you with them on my last day at Oban and that was enough for me. I only book my sites as I go so I cut the trip short and headed over to Rosemarkie which was midge free. I'd take mosquitoes over them any day.
This video was recorded in the middle of May. Apparently, the midges tend to bad around the Galloway forest area. I haven't been bothered by them anywhere else (thankfully).
Thanks so much for watching and all the best for your travels.
Those midgies look a nightmare. Winston seems to be in his element though. Good luck with the bug zapper.
See if you can get some mozzies spirals to set off , if you use a ceramic base it should be safe we are enjoying the trip
Delightful !
First comment ❤ we don't have biting midges in Oregon were I live
Skin so soft is a good repellent the army use it
Just sent to Rox same info re midges 😮
Not sure if this helps but it’s the breeze that gets rid of midges…..anything over 7 mph and you should be fine 👍
Wonderful yet again and feel bad for laughing with midge episodes. However We've been there with bites so bad. Found trying to camp in a breeze helps and avoid trees. Also Avon's Skin so soft lotion and citronella helps. But oh dear dear, smiling so much throughout video. . Thanks, made our evening again. Have so much fun you and Winston making beautiful memories ❤️
Glad you enjoyed the video. Don't feel bad for laughing, I look back on it now and smile. These events are what make an adventure memorable.
Thanks for watching. 😀🐶
I've just found your channel and I love it, being from Scotland I can tell you the only way to fight midges is with colourful stern language, they're indestructible, you'll have to start swearing again🤣.
Oh, this could become very expensive for me 🙊😅
Yeah, we went to Scotland a couple of years ago. Weather, just like yours, midges, just like yours, we even watched them come in through the fly screen - nothing gets through that, and to top it all, I couldn't find a scenic walk or trail without people and cars queuing up to use it.
We're giving it another go next year, better prepared, hopefully.
Decent vlog, cheers, Winston's a little trooper!
I always find the trails in Scotland to be much quieter to that of the the Lake District, Peak District, Wales etc. Or maybe I've just been lucky on my last trips 😅 Hope you have a better stay next time.
Thanks for watching.
Midges will get through the material… you should get some Avon So Soft (oil based version) that should reduce the biting… honestly though, worst time of year to go to Scotland.. it’s last week of April or forget it (although I am planning on going in October!
Hope you have a great trip! I went last year in September and wasn't bothered by them.
Thanks so much for watching.
Morning ,its 2.19 am here in perth west australia,ive just been midging with you and winston.little buggers those midges,i wonder if your vents are screened with a fine enough mesh? I enjoyed the walk with you two, thoughtful stones to accompany souls along the way.!lovely vibes,lovely experience.i,m far away but could sense the feeling of calm and beauty in the in the experience of being there away from all the pressures of people and problems.natures womb,enjoy roz and winston.respect.
The fly screens on the caravan are not done enough for midges, but after that night I did close them all up and shut the windows properly 👍🏼
Thanks so much for watching (at 2am! 😅) Glad you enjoy our videos.
There’s a bit of sledge dog in Winston me thinks. 😂 🐕
I think he would actually like that. And back in his younger days, I think he would have been awesome at it 👍🏼🐶
find a shop and get net curtain material scissors and a roll of nano tape. make custom window and door flyscreens. super cheap and no more midges .
I think some of them would still get through a net curtain 😅 I think I could put up a pair of tights and they’d still get through 🙈
Thanks for watching
Oban to Fort William there is an awesome cycle path away from the road
Gotta love Winston's goggles. 👍👍👍
You have no idea how soothing it is to watch these videos. Life is extremely stressful at the moment so your trip has come at a good time for me! can't wait for the next installment xx
So glad my videos are helping! I never thought of them as being relaxing and soothing, but whatever works for you 🙌🏼
Thanks for watching 👍🏼
Midges and wet pants.. an awesome combination 😂 lovely video 👍🏻 enjoying your journey so far ❤
You don’t get that every day! 😅
Thanks for watching 👍🏼
the midges suck, i went for the plug's to repel them. I guess you could also light coils outside and hope that wards them off from the pod also. Be interested to see how the zapper goes. I keep thinking about buying a small dehumidifier for the van, think you just made a good case for it.
Haven't seen that Oscar Wilde quote till now - so thanks. Happy Adventures in Bonnie!
I just hang up a dehumidifier bag. Works a treat 👍🏼
Thanks for watching 🙌🏼
So funny listening to him bark. Xx
The excitement gets a bit much for him sometimes 😅
You can buy midge / insect mesh that attaches to windows or vents using magnets or velcro so you can let some air in.
Thank you. I’ll see if I can find something 👍🏼
It was so lovely to see you walking down Glentrool kindness path. Thank you for featuring it and for all the lovely comments. 🥰
My pleasure! It is a beautiful and unique trail ❤️ Thanks for watching
Total Midgemare!!! You poor girl. No wonder my ol' man was so much of a git!!! He was a Scot. Musta been effected by them!!
Seriously though, Such a nice video. Again, plenty of awesome scenery (Feel like "Awesome" is overused!). Another relaxed day to look forward to after watching this.
BTW; Wins looks wicked in his new visor. 😁 Thanks Roz.
Glad you enjoyed it. I think Winston suited his new goggles 😎😎
Thanks for watching 👍🏼
I have lots of mossies in my woods and use thermocell power bank bug repellant products works for me Scottish bugs are well hard tho 👌
They’re a different breed 😅
Really enjoyed this episode, never experienced a midge invasion,but can imagine how bad it must have been. Hunters Chicken tastes great when cooked in an airfrier, worth trying, needs little prep. and a few components ( bacon, cheddar cheese and some bbq sauce along with a boneless chicken thigh) but you probably know that 😊.
Oooo I do like hunters chicken 😋 I’ll will have to put that on my list of things to make.
Thanks so much 🙌🏼
Try Smidge to keep the midges away from you and citronella candles or air fresheners for the caravan. Maybe even citronella incense or the bigger candles outside the caravan to keep them away a bit. We used citronella air fresheners in a bell tent last year and it helped a lot. Loving the videos 🙂
I have Smidge 👍🏼 but I’ll try the citronella.
Thanks so much! Glad you’re enjoying the videos.
Been so looking forward to this. Thankyou ! ❤
Hope you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for watching.
Very Lovely video again . Loved the trial views speeding down the runs. My wife is driven nuts by midges and really reacts and i seem a popular target too, so our solution is we go April and no later than 2nd week of May and after 2nd week of September onwards. Bit extreme by we hate the little sods
This was filmed in mid May 😅 I thought I wouldn’t have any, but I was wrong 🙈 Apparently, they get really bad around Galloway forest area, which is where we were.
Thanks for watching 🙌🏼
Try fly paper ribbons to catch flying insects.
Thanks for another wonderful video, I know what it's like having so many midges around I used to do a lot of fishing, and they would drive me nuts, looking forward to the next video and Winston he's adorable give him an extra treat.
Loving this Roz and Winston, cannot wait for part 4. You should have a lot more subs, It's the best channel on yt.
Wow, thank you! I only started vlogging in November, so still lots to learn, but the channel is definitly growing 🙌🏼😃
Thanks for watching
Midges always live in the nicest places .Really enjoying your videos 😊
Hi Roz, I'm no green warrior, but at the same time I don't like using chemicals in enclosed spaces where I stand a good chance of breathing them in. In midge season I would leave a couple of small mesh bags full of Lavender in my tent, both when up and packed away, may be my imagination, but I'm sure it at least reduced their inclination to share my space. Don't know if a small amount of essential oil smeared near vents and your doorway would help too, but cheap enough to try.
* You have my complete sympathy having to endure being hunted by midges. I hate bugs and, for me personally, visiting Scotland, beautiful as it is, isn’t worth having to deal with them.
* I love Winston’s “No” bark when you ask him to get in the trailer😂
* Weighing your muesli? Does it have to be that accurate?😂
Keep up the great vlogs, Roz.
I have to weight my Museli because otherwise, each morning, I put in more and more, until I have a full bowl and I’m eating close to 1000calories for breakfast 😂😂 I always have a good appetite and can EAT so I have to be strict on portion control 🙈🙈
Not sure if you wanted to know that, but there you go 😂😂
@@Roz.S yes, I do want to know because I'm nosey😂. I imagined it was because you are very organised; 100 grams muesli, check. 100ml milk, check. One medium apple diced, check😂
What an amazing vlog! Hate midges with a passion and it's my one thing about vanlife in Scotland. To see Winston enjoying himself was an absolute pleasure and the Peace Trail was beautiful! The painted stones were incredible and you showed stones from Ken and Carol, "Life is too Short " who we also follow. Hope the camera was not badly damaged. Stay safe Sid and Nicola, Rugby UK
Oh I didn’t know that “life is too short” was a RUclips channel. I thought it was just another positive message on a stone 😅 (I don’t tend to watch many videos on RUclips)
Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks so much for watching.
Midges, you are welcome Roz! But suggest go to Alice Springs for flys!😂😂😂 I spent a year there!!!
Again such an interesting video. I actually taught my late dog, Ritter, the commands left and right for bicycle trips just like this. We also used a dog trailer (but I did not think about the goggles). Happy memories
I have never taught Winston the verbal commands for left and right. He knows which was to go if I point left or right, but he can’t see my hand signals when running in front of the bike 😅
I got the goggles because Winston likes to stick his head out of the top - and because he looks cool 😎😅🐶
Thanks so much for watching 👍🏼
I was watching Gimme Shelter before this.... my last trip to Scotland was on a motorbike, that keeps the midges at bay
Hope you get the midgies under control. Liked Winstons googles.
Look forward to watching it tonight. Drew 🏴
Hope you enjoy! Thanks so much
Midges try Skin so Soft by cosmetic company Axxn ,( think gorge ) in spray bottle for exposed skin . Could be used lightly on Winston ? 😊
Thank you! 🙌🏼
We bought a Flextail bug zapper for our trip to Scotland but we didn't get any so haven't got a review yet.
Loved your Dales trip as that is my local!
Just love that boy 🤎 and you of course 😊
He is the star of the show 🐶🌟 You live in a beautiful part of the country! Thanks so much for watching
Your a braver woman than me to do Scotland in midge season.
There a nightmare.
Hope your new bug zapper helps a bit.
Love the goggles on Winston 😊
Wat a great video really enjoyed that, Winston is such a lovely dog 🐶 but my goodness they’ve got some energy, I had a springer once and she just went on forever 🙈 midges were a nightmare though 🥹 some of my nans old perfume sprayed round would sort them out the old Lilly of the valley 😆 anyways safe travels both 🙌
Glad you enjoyed it! Yes, spaniels do not have an off switch 😅 Winston is 12 and is still full of beans 🐶
Thanks for watching 👍🏼
Great video Roz, we also get these small biting flies here in Canada, we call them see me nots and they get through bug screens. We have a bug zapper in our camper and it works. My wife is a total darkness sleeper but better than being bitten.
Fingers crossed mine works too!
Thanks so much for watching 🙌🏼
Fingers crossed mine works too!
Thanks so much for watching 🙌🏼
Excellent thank you...really good watch 🤔
Glad you enjoyed it
Wonder if the campground would accept Amazon deliveries.Loved it when Winston said "no". hoping the best for the camera and the midge murdering machine.
They might, but it creates a faff is no one is in reception to take the delivery, or if it doesn’t show up before I check out, or if it goes missing etc. Best just sorting it out myself 👍🏼😅
Thanks for watching 👍🏼
Loving your new adventure, except the midges 😮
Thanks so much! 🙌🏼
Loved it thankk you
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching 🙌🏼
You really spoil that dog, he is a lucky fella. Steve
Good video,looking forward to the next...Rich was here also @winston ;)
omg alfred hitchcock the midges
Missed your adventures Rozzmeister. Looking forward to more capers. 😊😊
More to come! (As soon as I edit them all 😅🙈)
I really love you and Winston’s little adventures! Aldo love Winston’s new goggles he looks like snoopy! Keep up your adventures I really look forward to them!
Lots more to come! Thanks for watching
We did the nc500 in May this year visiting many of the places you recommended. We returned on May 19th from Kinlochewe and the midges began rising on the last couple of days! I had taken a usb “plug in” heater with mozzy killer pads but was nervous leaving it plugged in when out in case of fire - and the thought of using it when I was in the caravan and sitting in an atmosphere that kills insects wasn’t appealing - tricky!
This was recorded in mid May, so I didn’t think I would have midges to content with 😅
I was very unprepared! 🙈
Thanks for watching.
@@Roz.S I’m surprised as there were sooooo many midges. You clearly feel uncomfortable about killing living creatures - we need to reclassify/think of midges as bacteria or viruses - no one minds killing them!
I ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR VIDEO`S, THEY ARE ALWAYS SO INTERESTING, CAN YOUR DOG TALK!
Thanks so much!! He can’t talk, but I think he understand almost everything I say 😂
We were lucky in Scotland midge free, but we stopped in Wales on way up got eaten alive midges everywhere. Enjoy Scotland fantastic. Winston is so funny 🐕❤
Hi Roz, have just recently come across your videos and am so enjoying them. Must admit it was Winston who grabbed my attention but you are doing such a great job with them. I love that he is your priority in all your decisions. I am in Melbourne Australia and have a dog who looks very similar except he is brown/white and he is a Brittany, do you have them over there. Wondered if Winston might have this in him? They are a hunting dog, mine is pure pet. Have never subscribed to a channel before so you have definitely won me over. Looking forward to your further adventures :)
Hello! Yes, we have Brittany spaniels over here but they are not very common. You mainly see Springer spaniels, working cockers, and show cocker spaniels. Winston is a rescue dog so I have no breed papers for him. I think he’s a working cocker, but could have some Brittany in him.
Thanks so much for watching my video and for subscribing. I hope you enjoy the adventure 🙌🏼
Painted stone trails started during covid in the woods near here, it was rather sweet & life affirming. Long gone now though I think.
Midges are a real pain, not safe cooking with no ventilation so hopefully all sorted.
The flinty paths must be tough on bike tyres, Winston was so funny when you wanted him back in his trailer!
I am loving Winston. Used to have a Springer years ago, their tails NEVER stop wagging! What an ace companion.
Spaniels are such happy dogs! Great to be around!
Thanks so much for watching.
