@@KieranVGallagher can definitely recommend the pods around the route as they all look amazing! The Brora ones we visited with nc500 pods were a highlight because of the remote location and sauna 😊

The walk to the pyramid is a killer! I did it last September. It's totally worth the hike, though. Beautiful views.

Thank you for not only bringing back some happy memories of holidays in this area with my late mum and dad but for showing some little hidden gems too. As for those beautiful reindeer, I best not get too close with my knees clicking and cracking as they may thing I'm trying to communicate with them!! Always lovely to watch your videos Campbell and Gemma and looking forward to reading the book soon. Keep living the life you love and making memories on your wonderful adventures!

Hi there - just wanted to say how refreshing it is to see a Scottish couple extolling the virtues of their own country - which just happens to be my country, too. Don't worry about your fitness yet, Campbell - you should have another 20 or 30 years before your body hurts when you attempt to do such things - like, really hurts I mean! As for the van - my entire flat is like that...!! Take care now, both of you!

Thank you for your vlogs, they’re brilliant. As a fellow motorhome owner I think the only way to live in a van is to find a home for everything then put things back in their home always. As for wires we had extra sockets fitted around bed area and this is where we set up a charging station. So much neater than having to have all the wires around living area. 💙

Cheers mate! Peak design do good versions of them, they are just called camera clips. Very useful for clambering and filming!

Does anyone else have an issue with the audio around 4:30 - there's like two lots of dialogue as if two audio tracks are playing instead of just one. Is it just me? I tried it on two devices in case it was our TV having a wobble but it's still there....

Hari OM The last time I was up the Tomintoul road was when the beast from the east had left it shiny white and glistening... It's lovely country.

I actually wonder if motorhomes or caravans were designed to travel .stuff on ours keeps breaking too and its mostly stationary, weird. Enjoyed the video guys thanks for taking me along. I have been watching American RV ers for years now and they too are not immune to breakage especially slides and generators.
