Love your vlogs, so informative xx
Hello Bob the colour of the trees this time of the year are beautiful, you got some lovely footage of them by the river and when you were walking around the castle ruins. I look forward to seeing more autumnal scenes whilst your on your tour.
I’m glad you got your gas sorted!
I do enjoy watching your adventures, thanks ever so much for taking us along with you, and congratulations on the 15,000.

Hi Bob, Jenny - I'm new to owning a motorhome this year and want to say thanks for all your videos. Your video's on essentials, good to have's and nice to have's really helped me get started. We've been away every weekend touring Scotland since we got our Auto-Sleeper Broadway and last weekend we went to Maragowan, that and Glenbrittle on Isle of Skye have been our favourites stops so far. Thanks again for the videos and the work that goes into them.

Nice one guys looks great place there have been jan 👍👍👍👍👍👌❤️
This brought back fabulous memories of our trip there 3 years ago. I was so glad when Jenny found the piece on the beheading pit. I have a pic of my husband leaning over it as he has Macgregor ancestry. The reason we went to Scotland was his ancestry and now like you we pine for it back in Australia. It sounds like you will be doing the same route as us so I am looking forward to more videos. Good work and enjoy yourselves.
Thoroughly enjoyed it, thank you both, the area is so beautiful. Take care.
Great video. Makes me jealous during this time. You are so lucky to have a motor caravan and be able to travel so easily. Take care.

Killin has a special place in my heart because it was the first place in the Highlands that we camped at in the 60's! The Dochart falls were just amazing, we spent a bit of time there. Poppy certainly seems to be a good tourist guide!

Lovely scenery. Have an amzing trip. I'm very jealous. The shortage of gas has been an issue for a lot of people this year. My neigbour has a caravan and he had a lot of trouble sourcing some a short time back. (South East) Luckily we have a gaslow system and can fill just a few miles from home. I'm guessing that could be hard in the highlands though!

Hi Bob, we are on site with you now, saw you arriving yesterday..I won’t share where to spoil the excitement for others... but you’ve made my trip!

Bob Earnshaw I don’t think the enquirer meant to appear rude but if any one has watched your vlogs they might have just wondered as ‘children’ have never appeared in your conversations. We’re in the same boat as you and Jenny but as Westie owners too we know how the furry one became part of our everyday life and is now our child and can be just as expensive. Enjoy your trips and banter. keep up the good (hard) work.
