love it - Zion was one of our favourite national parks so bought back some great memories . How did you drive (and park) that beast of an RV?!? To be fair that is coming from the viewpoint of a VW T6 driver 🤣 It did look amazing inside though - look forward to watching the rest of your trip. Jackie and Richard x
Fantastic do you have to book camp sites in advance as we are going next year thanks Andy
@@randlcars4582 Hi Andy we would recommend booking the campsites. We booked a year in advance to make sure we definitely got a pitch. The sites were all very busy particularly at Gouldings Campsite in Monument Valley and we definitely didn’t want to miss out on that site as the location is spectacular. You’ll see that in the next video. Thanks for watching and commenting, it’s much appreciated. Irvine & Karen.
Oh Wow We will definitely visit Bryce Canyon. We have done Grand canyon that was spectacular too. Love the pull through campsites The Ruby Inn looked so much fun. We would love to do the horse riding too. Can't wait to be touring over there. Thanks for sharing, Steve & Anna
@@gatersontour Hi guys we’re glad you enjoyed the video. You guys will love touring around America and we bet you can’t wait. Your trip around Canada was also fantastic. Thanks for commenting, it’s very much appreciated. Keep safe. Irvine & Karen.

@@janetclasper2845 Hi Janet, yes it was absolutely stunning. We did love Bryce Canyon for sure. You’ll need to add it to your bucket list. Take care. Irvine & Karen.
Fantastic scenery, thanks for all of the vlogs you guys post. I enjoy seeing the Highlands as i spent a lot of time in the Glencoe area before moving south in 1998. All the best, John
@@jb-dn2ix You’re very welcome John. We’re glad you are enjoying our vlogs and thanks for commenting. Keep safe. Irvine & Karen.
Did i miss how much the rv was
@@randlcars4582 Hi, I’m not sure if you watched the whole video or not but I did say in the video that it’s a 4 video series and in the last of the 4 videos we will put up a slide with the prices. Hope you enjoyed the video though. Thanks for watching. Irvine & Karen.
This video just brings back brilliant memories.
@@karenbain5396 It sure does.
How do you choose the best locations for shooting videos like this?
@@regionnorte2205 Hi and thank you for your comment. I guess we’re just lucky. We have a bucket list of places we want to visit and so far we have chosen well. Keep safe. Irvine & Karen.
Oh I've been waiting for these vlogs to come out! Looks like you had a great start to your holiday. That RV is humongous!! It looked absolutely amazing. Looking forward to your next vlog ❤ 🇺🇸
@@gatersontour Thanks for your comment guys, it’s much appreciated. The RV was amazing and very spacious indeed. Bryce Canyon was our favourite and that’s coming up in the next video. Keep safe. Irvine & Karen.

@@janetclasper2845 Thank you Janet for your kind comment. This trip was absolutely amazing and our favourite national park was Bryce Canyon which is coming up in the next video. Hope you guys are well. Keep safe Irvine & Karen.
Those canyons look epic
@@haggiswhisperer Cheers Graham. The scenery was spectacular.
What a great start to what will surely be an epic journey. We loved the RV, it’s amazing how much extra space is created when the sides extend. Zion National Park looked stunning. We really liked the choice of music, it certainly suited the views. Looking forward now to seeing the onward journey and more scenery. Best wishes H&M.😊
@@HelenandMartinsTreks Thanks guys for commenting, it really is appreciated. The space created once the slide outs go out is absolutely amazing. We did love Zion National Park but Bryce Canyon was our favourite and that’ll be coming up in the next video. Thanks for watching. Keep safe. Irvine & Karen.
What an amazing place.
@@CookingHereThereandEvery-gf9gh It really was stunning.

@@senorerror9564 Gracias
We absolutely loved touring around the Red Rock Canyons of Utah and Arizona.
@@irvinebain7008 Yes a trip of a lifetime indeed.
Giants Causway is a must after that 😊
@@craigsinnott296 Hi Craig we went to the Giants Causeway a few years ago and loved that also. We’re heading to the North os Spain for a month in September so we’re looking forward to that.
We have been to Tarbet its beautiful. Ive added Loch Fyne as would definatley want to visit there. Your drone shots are wonderful and the music really suits it. Thanks for sharing another lovely vlog. Take care safe travels Anna and Steve
@@gatersontour Thanks for your kind comment guys, it’s very much appreciated. The drone does give a different perspective to the photography and these shots did turn out quite well. Keep safe. Irvine & Karen.
Love the drone work on this
@@haggiswhisperer Cheers Graham. The last time we were at the Seafood Festival it was too windy to get the drone up so it was a bonus on this occasion.
Irvine & I absolutely love seafood as does my Mum & Sister so this is a fab trip for us. Looking forward to next year already.
@@karenbain5396 Me too
Beautiful part of the world
@@CookingHereThereandEvery-gf9gh Yes it’s absolutely beautiful
We’re up that way in August, looks really nice, my wife’s in a wheelchair so we try and find sites within a short walk of a town so that looks ideal, and a beautiful drive to get there. Thanks
@@grahammullins9455 You are very welcome Graham. We hope you have a great time when in Lochgilphead. Keep safe. Irvine & Karen.
Me encanta
@@senorerror9564 Gracias
We love the Tarbert Seafood Festival.
@@irvinebain7008 You do indeed
Thats so beautiful
Thanks guys - much appreciated. Full videos of our trip around the Red Rock Canyons are coming soon.
@@motorroamingaround aww will look forward to watching that.
Hi, great video, you really struck it lucky with the weather. I dont usually nitpick, but lewis and harris are not separate islands but in fact one island, which is the biggest in Scotland
Hi Jim, thanks for your comment and we’re glad that you enjoyed our video. We were very lucky indeed with the weather. Yes as you say one land mass known as Lewis & Harris but according to the locals there’s a burn that separates them hence the two names. Keep safe and thanks again for watching. Irvine & Karen.
Hi what time of year did you go thanks
Hi, we went in January and the weather was fantastic. Thanks for commenting. Keep safe. Irvine & Karen.
I am really enjoying your videos as I have visited the area. What is the name of the girl singer on your videos? Thanks
Hi Dave we’re glad you’re enjoying our videos. In this series of videos we use music from Kylie Dailey, Melanie Bell, Mia Niles & Vicki Vox. Thanks for your kind comment and please keep safe. Irvine & Karen.
really nice, could do without the crap songs. Instrumental music is much better!
Many thanks for your comment Chris. Sorry the music wasn’t to your taste. Keep safe. Irvine & Karen.
Stunning

Really enjoyed watching this. Looks a lovely site
Hi Jed many thanks for your kind comment and we’re glad you enjoyed the video. Bunree is a very nice site indeed and we were very lucky with the weather. Keep safe. Irvine & Karen.
Hi Peeps, just found your video, fantastic camera work , but with regards to the sound, sometimes less is better. I personally prefer the natural sounds, wind , traffic etc. rather than music, but hey ho , each to their own . liked and subscribed 😀
Hi Jim many thanks for your comment and we’re glad you enjoyed the video and have subscribed to our channel. We do normally try to have a bit of music and some natural sounds but in this video we had a bit of a disaster. After getting back to the van from the waterfall I had to change the battery on my GoPro and for some reason the “record sound” option defaulted to off so it wasn’t until I was editing the footage on my computer that I realised that all of the footage taken on the ferry and over to Ardgour Ales had no sound. I therefore had to scrap a lot of the footage especially of us talking directly into the camera etc. Rather than scrap all of the footage I tried my best to use some of it and add a voice over which I agree isn’t the best but on this occasion we decided it would be better than scraping the footage altogether as we had captured some beautiful views etc. Thanks again for your comment and for subscribing. Keep safe. Irvine & Karen.
Hi both just found your channel hoping to visit Scotland this year all the best susan and Richard from west wales

Hi Richard & Jackie many thanks for your kind comment it’s very much appreciated. Bunree is very beautiful. We do love the different dimension drone footage brings to videos. Hope your visit to Cornwall is going to plan. Keep safe. Irvine & Karen.
