Thanks for all your lovely comments asking after me. I’m not too bad now - still a bit sore but the bruising is going now. Your comments are much appreciated. Aileen

Sorry to see what happened Aileen hope that you are feeling better sending our love Daniel Victoria Joseph and Oliver
Fab. So glad Aileen is ok.♥️
Sending best wishes to Aileen, thank goodness you are recovering xx
We absolutely love Arran. There’s so much to see and do and they are very welcoming to motorhomers. We spent two weeks on the island earlier in the year and still want to go back as there are places we didn’t see. It really is Scotland in miniature! Stunning.
Hi Bob and Jenny wow what a place to stay! That view is amazing and how lovely to wake up to that beautiful every morning Arran is wonderful and we have loved visiting when we have for the day must be even better to stay there for longer! Well that’s a convenient walk to the pub so even better! Hope Aileen is much better must have been such a shock for you all Remember the time we got the bus on Arran we waited 2 hours in Lochranza then bus arrived and he really zipped around those lanes but the highlight was seeing some minky whales and the driver pulled over for us to see them! All the best to you all Daniel

We went for a ride in Bob's car round the island, and the roads really go up and down! Must be a bit disconcerting.
That grey motorhome you passed was Stephen with his dog Skye from Country Vanlife UK!

Poor Aileen, so glad you are ok. Enjoy your holidays together.
Nice to see a UAX12 building! I worked for GPO / BT too on Netec / Consultec! Arran looks really nice, must pay a visit. A bit closer for us living in Cumbria. Hope Aileens foot has fully recovered!
You're so, so lucky with the weather. Absolutely beautiful. It's cloudy in Southampton!!

Oh my goodness what an awful thing to happen to poor Aileen! I bet you're all thanking your lucky stars it wasn't any worse than it was. On a brighter note, what a beautiful, scenic place to stop for a few days. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us all ❤
OMG. What a traumatic event and what a shock for you all. Wishing Aileen a speedy recovery.
Hello Bob, Jenny and Poppy , beautiful scenery, lovely campsite. The beach was amazing. So sorry to hear about Aileen, hope you are on the mend now 🤗. Poor Aileen. Take care all xx Julie and Tony xx
The Isle of Arran looks lovely, enjoyed watching your travels. Poor Aileen - very frightening.
4.54 and 30.31 that was Stephen and Skye in Christine from Country Vanlife UK! He’s spent the winter on the island. Relieved to hear nothing broken after the incident. Must’ve been very frightening for all. Enjoy the rest of your trip. Xx

Crossing was fine and calm. A beautiful day.
Glad Aileen is okay and you’re getting over the shock of it.❤At least the pubs not far to get to.😅
The first corner at the start of the video we met cars on that, had been quiet until we got to the tight bit typically. It’s a lovely place - especially when the sun shines. Lovely outlook from the pub isn’t it. We do love the campsite, with Pladda and Ailsa Craig to look out across and so much wildlife and sea life. I found some nasty holes in the reeds when walking back along! Poor Aileen what an awful thing to happen. ❤ Thank goodness there wasn’t more damage, bad enough as it was. Great to hear good service from the hospital. Imagine it put a damper on your holiday. Shame about the rain on the last day. All the very best, David & Rachel 👍

Thanks, we dud enjoy the site, in spite of the accident.
Very glad everyone is alright
This is very interesting to a couple of life-long Winnipegers . We live in East Kildonan . There is also North , a West , and an Old Kildonan . When I was young I used to drink in the Kildonan Hotel . A bunch of people from that part of Scotland were put on ships at gunpoint and sent to the wilderness of Canada in 1812 and 1813 . They were called the Selkirk Settlers . After the Lord Earl of Selkirk sponsored them . They were not welcomed by the French and mixed race Metis . The indigenous people who's chief was Peguis helped them a lot in things like ice fishing . - 40 f /c was quite common in those days . How they survived bitter cold drought and grasshoppers eating their crops , I'll never know . They were helped a lot , and when people fled Iceland and volcanic disaster later in that century , they were in turn shown the ropes by the indigenous people . We have a large Scottish community , and a fairly good sized Icelandic community .

Wow, that sounded like a very close shave! I am so glad you are OK Aileen. The video brought back some memories for me. We stayed in a house up above the Kildonan Inn, overlooking Holy Island and Ailsa Craig. My mum could never look at the island, she always said it looked like a hole in the sky to her :). Ian

Ай бұрын
There are a few, but it's better than our previous motorhome.
Some nice sites up there re traveling on ferries etc ,jenny maybe right the rain can be a sign of rougher seas, though, as when it rains, the barometric pressure typically decreases because low-pressure systems are associated with rainy weather. This decrease in pressure can indeed affect sea states. Lower pressure can lead to slightly higher sea levels due to reduced atmospheric pressure pushing down on the water surface. This, in turn, can contribute to potentially larger waves and rougher sea conditions. Jennys' observations about the rain might be right .anyway enjoy ,best wishes to Aileen and friends.

I’m so glad Aileen is okay ❤ the poor man must’ve been horrified!! You guys have been so lucky with the weather. Unfortunately for us our Scottish tour had to be cancelled because my husband bob became too ill to travel. We’ve managed to book a few days away at Sandringham next week, all being well 😊 I’ve absolutely loved your Scottish tour x

I bet the caravan site put that no camping sign up, why does everyone try and charge for parking at tourist spots, it doesn't happen here in Denmark.
@BobEarnshawMoHo
Ай бұрын
It only applies to the grass not the layby. There is no charge for parking there. The campsite isn't allowed to put signs up, only councils can do that.
Glad Aileen is OK.If one of the dogs had been run over it would have caused serious injuries or worse. Seal shore has picked up since we went to stop there as there weren't any roads just a field that was chocka with tents so we moved on.We had a beer at the hotel and I remember asking the lad behind the bar whatever happened to Tenants Extra that we used to get south of the border and he didn't know.I don't think you even get it in Scotland now as I don't remember seeing any last time we were up there...shame as it was a good pint.

What's you're problem ? Where Steve was parked is allowed. Its not part of the grass area which is No Overnights. Ive stayed there myself and it is perfectly legal. So there's no need for all the added comments and further ones on messenger about who he is and his channel. I know him personally and can assure you he doesn't park overnight in places which are not allowed
