    As an old codger having been in full time employment for 15 -66 I never had down time and now health issues. I am so envious that you are able to achieve this and all your other adventures so young and free. Anxiety is understandable when alone. You are responsible for ever decision. I know how that feels and when you do anything alone it’s harder. Balance it with the people that would give their right arm to do your adventures especially at your age. Love the series and excited for this trip😊

    I am very lucky to be able to do this. I remember sitting at my desk one day working and thinking that I could work from anywhere so why am I sat at home? So I bought my caravan. I thought that if I didn't take the opportunity to do it now, I probably never will. Thanks so much for watching and following us along on this adventure.

    It wasn’t long ago you were practicing reversing the pod in a car park and now look at what you’re doing , I’m sure you’re an inspiration to many independent people that they can also get out and adventure. So looking forward to the Scotland adventures, good luck 👍

    Hiya Roz and Winst, I've watched about half a dozen of your videos at random so far and I'm still intrigued, it's nice to see a determined lady trying out adventures like what you're doing it must be hard at times. I often think about doing what your doing. I'll watch some more of your Vlogs first and maybe get a boost to give it a go. Thanks for taking the time to do these videos it gives me a preglimpse.

    I can relate to your anxiety at the start of your trip. I'm currently on day 6 of my NC500 adventure. First time this far from home on my own, with Buddy my dog and first time camping full stop. Like you I could have stayed home where it's familiar, but I pushed on and am glad I did. So well done you too, don't know if I could do 2 months straight, having said that I've slept better in my car than my own bed, aches and pains are minimal considering I'm contorting myself into the back of my car.😂 I look forward to your second installment.

    If you haven't already got one try and find the midge nets that cover your face and head. I left Oban last week intending to continue up to Ullapool then over to Rosemarkie. They were so bad on the morning I left I opted to move over to the east that day instead to escape them.

I’m two years away from retirement now and am planning those years to be full of mini adventures, probably with a tent strapped to my bike. I love your little caravan but not sure I’ll be able to afford, we’ll see. Anyway, love the inspiration you’re giving to me and so many other folk, anxieties and all!

    Glad you got over your initial nerves & hope you will thoroughly enjoy your trip. It's perfectly normal to be apprehensive but you obviously want to do it more than you don't want to do it (if that makes sense) Please don't overlook the fact that you possess a quality which many people do not...the ability to be alone. So many people find it impossible to embrace solitude, even for a version very short period of time; it's as if they're scared to be alone with their own thoughts!

    I get where you’re coming from with pre trip anxiety. I’ve been adventuring for 20+ years and still get a bit anxious. The same things as you: Should I bother? Have I forgot something? What if I breakdown (mentally😁or mechanically). The only regret I have though, is not when something goes wrong, it’s when I don’t go on the trip at all. P.s. I love the worlds biggest post it note with your reminder about the bike being on the roof of Dory😂

When a new trip starts, I was always tense for the first 15 minutes and used the PoPometer to hear (feel) whether everything was going well and then things got better. You have to get a feeling again for how slower people go into corners, how they brake earlier and... But you wouldn't have been able to access the hike with a mobile home as narrow as it was. All the best and have a good time. Many greetings Oldie👍
