To Falkirk and further

Shockingly, the mornings get slower and slower and the weather is mistier and more autumnal. When we eventually dragged ourselves out of bed, we made a cup of coffee and started to tidy everything away ready to move on. The campsite we had stayed at, operated a pay as you go electric top up meter […]

Off to see the King!

Another slow start, I would put it down to yesterday’s adventure but it’s becoming a common theme with us. Another colder night, mainly because Michael left the front windows open which we found out the next morning! But we also work up to more mist, I think September is finally catching up with the Cairngorms. […]

The walk to Glenmore

I wonder what they got up to today 🧐 I think the title gives it away a little bit, but we will come onto the main story of today’s blog shortly. We woke up, again a bit colder than we had been, we tossed and turned, put the heater on to take the edge off, […]

Aviemore

Sounds like it could be a Taylor Swift album. It’s not, it’s a beautiful town/village in the Cairngorms, which we simply adore. A gem of an overnight spot So, more about my amazing find of a car park – once we decided we were going to drive to Aviemore, we needed a search4site location in […]

The coos

Aka the best day of my life (sorry Michael) 😅 Anyone who knows me knows that my favourite animal in the world are highland cows. It goes Bentley, Highland Cows, Tigers. I’m really not sure where this love of highland cows came from, they are just beautiful and majestic and today I get to feed […]

Magic ✨

Best believe when Michael takes the dog out first thing, you will be met with the following photo: But I totally get why he took the photo (minus the dogs dignity). There’s not many places where you can wake up, take the dog out and be met with views like that. Scotland is magic. A […]

Across the border

We woke up to a wet Warton, the Crag that we had walked up yesterday afternoon was now no longer visible. If we hadn’t have seen and walked it yesterday we wouldn’t know it was there. A slowish start which essentially means I cuddled the dog for a bit longer than usual, led to our […]

Take me to the lakes..

For those who don’t identify as a Swiftie, yes that is a Taylor Swift lyric. After a patchy nights sleep for me, ironically a better one for Michael and the dog, we headed to a retail park to pick up some essentials – treats for the dog and food for the humans. Before heading north […]

And they’re off..

Having packed everything, including a new kitchen sink installed in the van, we hit the road! A glamorous first night It’s nothing too exciting today I’m afraid folks, Michael has to go to site in Sheffield and I am being treated to a night in a Holiday Inn Express. How the other half live eh […]
