Great photos, Not only do I recognise some of the sites but it looked like you were right in the same spot. The quiet bit of Red Squirrel by the looks, theres one wee spot you can squeeze a camper in at the end of that track next to the river, brilliant! That looks like Invercaimbe by Arisaig, you w...

St Kilda is incredibly remote and has an amazing amount of history. Get hold of some of the books about when island community and you will get a a real sense of the place. There is a similar small island just off the north mainland near tongue called Seal Island. The village there was abandoned in t...

Remember though the day trips normally run from levburgh on Harris so you will need to catch the ferry from berneray back over to
Harris. Talk to seamus from Sea Harris they took amanda over.

No worries Ian. I managed to get Mo at Roseburn to do the mot so I could get the van taxed. Agree though sounds like you need another Russell to ease the stress,

Excellent.

The old chap is booked on for Wednesday.

IKEA! they do a bedroom drawer organiser thing: http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/60192633/#/00192631" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; they are a perfect fit in the cupboard beside the fridge and over the cab locker and handy for keeping stuff organised, they fold do...

we have a khayam which is great but can be a bit of stress if its really windy. wifey prefers to have it pitched back from the van as she feels the sliding door is the best thing about the van and what separates us from the lesser mortals in coach built white motorhomes with tiny doors. When its too...

My worst midge experience was climbing Ben Klibreck in Sutherland (far north west) stopped the car in a lay-by at 8 am and started to get into hiking gear. I was wearing black long sleeved top and when i looked down it had turned grey! every square inch was covered in midges going mental! I was even...

We've just come back from doing a tour of the islands. We travelled up via Fort William to Arisaig for a night then took the ferry from Mallaig to Skye (with fuel prices what they are at the moment it works out cheaper going this way than via the bridge at Kyle of Lochalsh) Drove up through Skye spe...

Hi Can anyone recommend a good mechanic in East Central Scotland (Edinburgh and Lothian) area? I need to get the Van MOT'd and have a few small bits done. Have taken it to Syncronutz in the past but they seem to be down with some illness at the moment and not picking up the phone. would prefer someo...

Been trying to call them for a few days and found this thread so that explains everything.

Hope things get back to normal soon, have dropped them an email which hopefully might get answered

My father who died a few years ago was a veteran of the landings. We took him over every year from the 50th to the 61st anniversaries. He landed on Sword Beach at a place called Hermanville Le Breche. I love Normandy and its like a second home to me, I feel at home as soon as i get there and would l...

Cheers for that - bolt ordered picked up and fitted. now I don't have to cringe every time I go over a speed bump

Hi I needed to put the spare on recently after a puncture. I discovered the bolt that secures the spare under the front was missing (not sure if its always been missing or a garage didn't put it back) All that holds the spare wheel bay up is the plastic clip which doesn't seem strong enough. Any cle...

Hi (2.1 Auto problem) Just came home to find a very traumatised wife and child. she had gone to use the van and just as she was in the middle of three point turn the accelerator stuck to the floor and the van went into max revs. she was stuck in the middle of the street and had to try to re-park the...
