Day 19! We woke up nice and early for our final drive home. When we cancelled the Isle of Skye we had 2 extra days to fit in so we gave ourselves more time in the Cairngorms and more time on the NC500, which was absolutely needed! We also had to amend the rest of […]
Day 18! We woke up early to a wet and grey morning in Northumberland which was fine because we were heading to a sunnier place today! We put the bed away and got straight on the open road! First stop; The Angel of the North! The Angel of the North The rain and grey skies […]
Day 17! It was bloody blustery all night! The van was quite literally shaking! From that, we were both awake quite early and decided to leave the site at around 8am, we had a 45 minute journey to our start point at Hadrian’s Wall – it was hike day, and although he didn’t look up […]
Day 17! The days are absolutely flying past this week and today is the first day of Autumn! We woke up to yet another nice morning, but it didn’t stay nice for long! We got up, took the dog for a walk and got back to the van just as it started raining! We did […]
Day 16! Day 16 and we woke up to yet another glorious, sunshine filled Scotland! Scotland has been the kindest country in its weather and it’s scenery and today was no different! Today, we were going to go and meet some reindeer that roam free in the Cairngorm National Park! Disclaimer; this is going to […]
Day 15! The final week, I can’t get over how fast the adventure is going! We had another lazy start, enjoying the glorious sunshine that Scotland is providing, before showering and going for yet another explore into the town of Brora in search of breakfast! On our way into Inverness we saw a car park […]
Day 14! Our first day in 2 weeks where no driving is involved at all, what a treat! We enjoyed a bottle of bubbly last night to celebrate the momentous occasion and now the day is with us! In true Sunday style we lazed about in bed for longer than usual and then we got […]
Day 13! NC500 baby! This morning we were up and at it early doors as we are planning to hit John O Groats today! The most northerly point and thus completing our Lands End to John O Groats tour (although thankfully our honeymoon isn’t quite over yet)! The sun was shining, we again had some […]
Day 12! It was another gorgeous morning in the highlands or so Michael tells me, there was no waking me up this morning – even after 12 hours sleep! I was a walking zombie this morning, very lethargic and struggling to function! We text the owners of the shop we parked at to see if […]
Day 11! Another morning in which we have woken up to no rain! It was certainly overcast though and we weren’t sure which way the weather was going to go! This wasn’t going to stop today’s plans, as we got up early, did all the glamorous jobs with the van (emptying the toilet/filling up the […]
