    Days 4 & 5 - Yes it rained pretty solidly for these 2 days but being away in my van I was still feeling the most alive I have done in 2 years x

    And this one too Sue. Beautifully done and very moving. I've never known of it carried out so well and, opposite the battles themselves, the peace. Thank you.
    Now for a much needed cuppa! Take care. Love, Pam

    Hi there. We found the Culloden site really atmospheric and the exhibits and information at the visitor centre was very well presented. it was early days of our channel when we were there and we forgot to film anything of our visit!! Great way to spend a wet day - watching other RUclips channels. we are having a wet day in the van so catching up as well. Enjoy your trip.

      Hi thanks for watching and commenting, I agree so interesting and atmospheric. It was love being able to use some of the van time to catch up with RUclips, and I think it's always good to support other channels 👍. Hope the weather brightens for you and you have a good trip. ATB, Sue.
