Sorry to hear that Martin, happy to take feedback onboard, what is it you don’t like, the travel content or? What videos would you like to see or get back to, genuinely interested and would appreciate any suggestions you or anyone has 👍🏻😊
Darren just got to say ive have following you for the last 4/5years and i love all of your videos from the early days of starting out in a motorhome to all the adventures you kindly take us with you.well done keep them coming
Mate you need to turn right at the Tarbet end of the Loch Lomond road, you will drive around the end of Loch Long and up the Rest and be thankful. Amazing views from the top with a car park and a great food van. If you continued on you can go left to Dunoon alongside Loch Fyne or continue on and go around the other side of Loch Fyne past the original Oyster and seafood shop into Inveraray and onto Oban
The A82 at Dumbarton side is one of the busiest roads in the central belt. I stopped that’s last time I was going north to Fortwilliam. There’s an M&S foods there too as well as the black rooster. If you managed to sleep there, hats off to ya!
That road can be a nightmare, I did it this year and encountered wagons passing buses, one after the other ! Must say the professional drivers are incredible 👍
Yeah it definitely can be a clear case of rough with the smooth that’s for sure, all that beauty but some tough roads to navigate for some. Where in Scotland did you go Richie?
@@TheUrbanMotorhome we’ve been going to the west coast from fort William a place called Arisaig, holidaying for the last 30 years and loving it. Camping on the edge of the beach on a very small campsite that just draws you back time after time, it’s so tranquil 😎
We went up on a bank holiday Friday afternoon! I nearly peed my pants but not with excitement, it was a brand new motorhome, caravans and busses a plenty, beautiful but I hated it
Also go to Inveraray,,drive past Tarbert from Glasgow, straight past the hotel and follow you nose up by Loch Fyne and step back in time to the 18th century,,,the Ardloii hotel is very good for a meal at night or in the bar during the day on the way to Fort William just past Tarbert.
Totally agree Das, Loch Lomond is very pretty and is well worth a visit, there are other places to pull over too but cant wait until this special park-up renovations are finished. The midges are one of the downsides, but usually can get away from them by getting back from the water. The Loch Lomond tours are great and a lovely experience, shame that you didn't quite have the nice sunny weather, they say about the west highland way, but you can actually do it by boat from Inverness to Fort William, it's 60 miles long following the Caledonian canal with seeing Scotland from the water perspective is great. We got the NC500 book and are now planning our trip soon. Enjoy your Chicken Black Roaster dinner 😋perhaps you should have also got a portion of wings for later 😉
It’s stunning it really is and yeah I’m like you Chris I can’t wait till that building work is done, gonna be such an improvement. They just know what they’re doing don’t they, I wish we had more of that kinda thinking in the rest of the country! I didn’t know you could do it by boat that sounds brilliant! Have you done it that way? Enjoy planning your trip, definitely put black roosters on there….delicious! When is it you’re planning on going?
Amazing views Darren and great video. May I ask where is the best place to look for a reliable van to convert to a camper van. Secondly where would you recommend getting a conversion done if anywhere?? Thankyou
@@TheUrbanMotorhome me too, I didn't want to leave, was 4 miles from the M6 and thought stuff it and pulled into Gretna lol leaving today tho 😒 Oh gosh too many places. Stayed 2 nights by Nessy That was pretty awesome but I think my ultimate was at Frugaldom. The Road to it was a bit hard on my suspension but if you like silence, solitude n nature, it's deffo worth a visit. 😁
The Ardlui road….. ahhh plenty of people having to change their underwear on that one lol. I’m only a 50 minute drive from Tarbet where the works are going on to improve the car park at Loch Lomond. As to where else you could go…. Have you went up “The rest and be thankful” road ? Head for Inverary that’s a nice drive and some stunning views. Go as far as Lochgilphead and take a left at the second mini roundabout heading to Campbelltown. Now that’s another belter!! Have fun bud
@@truckeroxford there’s a river leading to the loch. I don’t recall a waterfall. There’s canal crossing just after the second mini roundabout. It’s a nice place to park up and watch.
I never tire of that view, I stay about 3 miles from that black rooster and 1 mile from the Loch. I have a 18’ speed boat registered on Loch Lomond, not been out much this year due to the worst summer ever. I have been on Inchconnachan Island many times and still not seen the wallabies 😂 I know there used to be a a small boat to ferry people across to Inchmurrin (the big one with the hotel) only runs from April. I think you can get ferry to other islands from Luss. But the locals are know for being moaners 😂 they want the money but don’t wand the traffic.
Hey there thanks for sharing the wonderful videos again I love Scotland. I just tried to support by getting one of those travel books and use the code but it didn’t work for me. Maybe I’m old school and it wrong as normal they need it, A friends and family up in Scotland, so I don’t know most of anything but it’s nice to give support to people. Take care Have lots of fun
fantastic video as ever darren the land yhot is handeling your needs very well can i ask what drone you use for your drone shots again thanks for a great video
Thanks mate, ahhh I flipping love the land yacht it’s an awesome bachelors pad haha I’m currently using the DJI mini pro 4 drone, not long had it but it amazing, have you got a drone already or?
@@TheUrbanMotorhome i have yes i have the same drone just getting to grips with it looking for a good editing software i watch your videos every week or every time you load new content loving the scotland trip amazing work :)
Hi , when we were over there in 2004 we stayed at lockaline and the miges there was like a fog , how in the hell can you live or breathe with them about . Enjoying your show so save travels , travelling between Christchurch to Kaikoura here in New Zealand , now that’s a great drive , up near Kaikoura you drive alone the coast the scenery is fantastic with seal sunning on the rocks cheers John c (nz)
In Kwa Zulu to the Drakensberg range. And the Wye valley in the Autumn are my fav drive memories. Loch Lomond can be a pain with coaches and artics coming at you with a motorhome made of mostly plastic.
Drive all roads in Scotland in lwb Mercedes sprinter I'm the guy that flys alongside these I was Shetland born I drive through cairngorms in heavy snow to military road cairngorms is fantastic I love my mx5 for these road to
What a gorgeous location, absolutely stunning Thank you for sharing 😊 Have you tried The black mountain pass in Wales if not I'd definitely add that to your list. There are so many beautiful places to see but some are outstanding 🤗
You’re most welcome, thank you for watching Annie, I’ve not tried the black mountain pass yet but I will be adding that to the list for sure! Are there any parks up close by or did you stop on a campsite?
@@TheUrbanMotorhome many many years ago I went with my family. I will be returning myself next year as I am approaching a big number in my life this time will be different because I will be camping not in a camp site but in my car being sneaky 😁
stayed at that car park on loch lomond many times, its our first stop coming from newcastle on our scotland tour, love it. there are a few park for night park ups along the length of loch lomond, some you have to pay but cheap enough. great first night in scotland. xx
P.s. good to use your hands because some people are deaf, and that’s the way they we can understand what you are saying .Love that chicken, it’s absolutely gorgeous, I could eat it for the rest of my life 😂😊
@@TheUrbanMotorhome oh no worries, yea deep to be sure. Im on outskirts of Glasgow & spend a lot of time up & around Loch Lomond infact in that very carpark yesterday. Enjoy the rest of your trip
Hello. I’d like save you from cameras , lamps and 600 ft of fishing line. I can tell you what is in Loch Lomond. 😂😂😂. God know how many shopping trolleys, 100 bicycles, 20 washing machines, 25 Dryers, a load of old steel wheels, a few old motor bikes, 10 car, and a couple of old trucks and a few other bits of rubbish 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@TheUrbanMotorhome iv no clue on park ups but there are lots of laybys of the road. Some of them have hight bars. I'm not a van lifer I watch your videos and we are at salt cost at mo go back south tomorrow
@@TheUrbanMotorhome the 2 roads are good for stunning views of the mountings. When you do get to drive them stop and get the drone out I bet your get stunning views. We are coming back long the coast road to Irvine there are some ruins along there on the cost want get my DSLR out get some photographs if I can.

Ignore him. This is an interesting video. If he likes the old videos he can rewatch them. Or he can watch something else.

Martin if you don't like this sort of videos then go back and watch Darren's old ones a lot of us followers like the videos,keep them coming Darren
You said that before yet here you are watching again. Why? Are you a troll??

Try the road from the Penrith end of Lake District and down past Ullswater through Petterdale and then up over the Kirkstone pass.
Love watching your vlogs mate , love how you do different things and mix things up , keep doing what you do my friend
Also go to Inveraray,,drive past Tarbert from Glasgow, straight past the hotel and follow you nose up by Loch Fyne and step back in time to the 18th century,,,the Ardloii hotel is very good for a meal at night or in the bar during the day on the way to Fort William just past Tarbert.
You can hire large canoes etc from several places on the loch mate,take a paddle out to Wallaby island,you might be surprised
Cmon Daz you have to do Ireland! The beara and dingle penninsula will blow your mind! Cork and Kerry. The wild Atlantic way ;)
You were very lucky that road is usually very busy with lorries and the road is normally littered with wing mirrors.😮
Great video Darran. Do you have any opinion about victron vs renogy inverters?
Don't forget to go to the FALKIRK WHEEL while you're up there Dazza...bloody amazing

Black Rooster is absolutely banging!! Pity you don't have any in England :(
Did I miss something? What was the headline "Think Twice Before Visiting Loch Lomond!" and "Is this safe?" about?

That chicken looks amazing Daz. Any left to share? lol
In Kwa Zulu to the Drakensberg range. And the Wye valley in the Autumn are my fav drive memories. Loch Lomond can be a pain with coaches and artics coming at you with a motorhome made of mostly plastic.
If you are a bad and nervous weekender mh driver you should not be where the big boys are , so stick to the county lanes.
There is more water in Loch lomond or Loch ness than all the lake and rivers in England combined
Have you got any videos one motorhomes for people with only 3.5t license
A496 in Wales, Mountains, beautiful drive
Thanks cliff, any decent parkups you recommend in the area?
Not aware of any as i rode on motorbike, a lot of pull ins and places to park tho defo@@TheUrbanMotorhome
Rode the motorbike but there are plenty of pull ins etc
I bet that was great fun on the motorbike, nice one cheers mate
All they roads up there can be brutal if you get caught behind a truck lol some views tho.
Try the Argyll peninsula, locks need keys lawchs huv waaater, hehe
Added it to the list, thank mate, any parkups you recommend?
Nessie - Loch Nes
Lomie - Loch
Lomond
Warning the road is very narrow in places and very busy with coaches and trucks.
Got to agree,,,forward thinking and driving with lights on recommend,,,give way to the trucks and coaches if you want to avoid drama.
Drive all roads in Scotland in lwb Mercedes sprinter I'm the guy that flys alongside these I was Shetland born I drive through cairngorms in heavy snow to military road cairngorms is fantastic I love my mx5 for these road to
Great Vlog once again ☺. Loch Lomand drone shots look amazing, make me want to go back!!!
Such a magical place, I know I could fly the drone around there for days! Go back….I hear ROAD TRIP! 🤣🤣
@@TheUrbanMotorhome yessssss!!
Did you visit Luss?
Did you take the high road or the low road?
Did you know that there is an island in Loch Lomond that has wallabies on.theres a few vids on the RUclips .
I did not know that! That sounds amazing! Have you personally seen them?

If you ask my nephew Liam he’d tell ya I’ve had a fight with Nessy and won!
You won't find Nessy in Loch Lomond 😂

Thanks Andrew, ahhh because of how deep the loch is, over 600ft that’s crazy right! Have you explored Scotland much?
