A Proper Scottish Winter Vanlife
This week, after surviving -14 degrees temperatures with the recent cold spell wrapping itself around the UK, we all (@HakunaMaPumbaaheaded) to the Cairngorm Mountain park up to enjoy a proper Scottish winter vanlife experience with deep snow and reindeers wandering the area.

Hey :) I’m Rob and my dog is called Archie (airedale terrier) and I've been living full time on the road since 2020. This journey began when I left the UK Armed Forces and decide to retire and spend the rest of my life travelling with the dog while living full time in our self converted van (Peugeot Boxer) called Shaky. Living the van life enables me to travel, experience and document the beauty of this world and be with my dog 24/7. My hope is that by sharing my own personal highs and lows along this amazing journey, it might inspire someone else to live this life. It's all about the journey, the destination and the adventure.. with good friends along the way!
See you on the road soon! 🚐 #vanlife

That was great Rob 👍 meeting up with that couple and having a good time. See if you can whittle some wood at some point and make Archie some stilts for the deep snow 😄 I bet your van will need a good wash once you leave the snow but its well worth getting it dirty for.

In many parts in Scotland there is a culling season for the older stags. The deer predominately shed their ‘branched bones’ around Feb to March In Arran up at my friends place in Lochranza he is fortunate that the deer shed their antlers not far from his cottage ….it’s great walking those hills behind and finding them
