Hello Herbert.
We just bought an identical van (Herman), also after 10 wonderful days in Scotland in September in Murdock the rental van. Parallel lives! Where did you get to in Scotland?

Hello Herbert.
We just bought an identical van (Herman), also after 10 wonderful days in Scotland in September in Murdock the rental van. Parallel lives! Where did you get to in Scotland?

Amazing!
We picked Rita up near Edinburgh, one night there, then 1 night 'wild' in Trossachs, then Skye 2 nights at Dunvegan, onto Gairloch 2 nights, then south of Inverness 1 night 'wild' and to Braemar 2 nights. Sites selected by dint of what was available out of main season + Covid! and tying in with seeing Edinburgh based daughters.
Have long wanted to see more of Scotland - loved every inch of it and so much left to visit. Surviving 10 days with the 2 of us still talking to each other was a clear indication that a purchase should follow!
What about you?!

The 18inch Palmerstones look good with the grey, don't they! Probably wouldn't have specified them but this van was suddenly available from dealer - and we're delighted with him, boots and all!

Hi Herbert great to hear about Herbert and Scotland I am hoping to do a tore to Scotland with my First Cali (Lizzie) and thinking of Ireland Hopping, before that though some Skiing in the Lake District and Scotland

That sounds like a brilliant trip.
Yes being confined to such a small space was my biggest worry but it turned out to be great. We rented a very characterful 20year old T4 conversion locally (Tyneside) which had very few mod cons so seemed to be a good way to test our resolve. Coincided with west Scottish lockdown perfectly so we had a night each on the driveways of my sister in Glasgow and then in-laws in Ardfern near Oban. Then a few nights at a great campsite in Duror as a base for some amazing cycling on route 78. One sneaky hotel night in Aberfeldy and then back in the van on a site in Aberlour on Speyside. No wild camping sadly (unless you count driveways) but with no battery in the rental van we didn’t feel quite ready. No rain, no midges - Scotland at its best!

Sounds great - but now some extra planning and dreaming time in lockdown! Can’t wait to get back up to Scotland again.

Pleased you all love Scotland so much - even in the changeable weather! We love it too and live quite near to the Trossachs.

Hope you love your new Cali.

Hi Sorry I missed this message I had a few days in the Lakes before Lockdown and so glad I did as I found a great place to stay at The Brackenrigg Inn (Brewery) on the shores of Ullswater near Pooley Bridge Good food and Beer and they let you stay on the Car Park if you are a Patron.https://photos.google.com/search/brackenrigg inn/photo/AF1QipO29h2wRdkzl_Wwn-M951YtPDsaWdl_ds1LGFHA
