Arriving At Glencoe Camping And Caravanning Club Site | West Highland And Uist Tour

[@jennyreddaway2666]

Just an update for your viewers regarding the bridge works just outside Glencoe village are complete. The old A82 bridge has been replaced and the temporary bridge you went over has been removed. Bob, you mentioned the arched white bridge at Tulla appearing narrow (as does the one at the other end of Rannoch by the Kingshouse), but not as narrow as they look. I know you and Jenny, plus other experienced motorhomers, are aware but some people, particularly those hiring a motorhome for a trip, may not be and you cannot get a large motorhome through when an artic is going through. However, the three bridges (heading towards Glencoe from Bridge of Orchy) on the A82 that are narrower and these are the two by the Glencoe ski centre entrance (one before and one just after) and the one on the left hander heading down towards the Kingshouse junction. Larger vehicles have to cross the centre line of the road on these and by the end of the main season you can find a lot of smashed door mirrors lying by the roadside. I drive this section of the A82 regularly and want people to keep safe.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thanks for the update.

[@trishbannister7220]

Brilliant directions we can see all the signs. Wish others would take a leaf out of your book. Excellent😁😁😁😁😁👍👍👍👏👏👏

[@coveredinpaint7318]

Such beautiful scenery. I also love the sound of running water, and love all the little waterfalls. Thanks.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

More waterfalls tomorrow! Thanks.

[@coveredinpaint7318]

Excellent!

[@carolynshaw3633]

What a great treat driving through the highlands. Love love loved

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thank you very much.

[@MrJasdog107]

You gotta love them single track roads .

[@weebolddavy]

Been through Glencoe literally hundreds of times in my life and I don't think I've seen it looking the same twice, absolutely love it! We were up that way on our way to the Outer Hebrides three weeks ago and were shocked by the deep potholes in virtually every lay-bye going up the A82, drive into them too fast at your peril. Have a great trip

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Yes there were a few that near loosened our teeth!

[@bobmckayfreedom]

weebolddavy it’s the large logging vehicles and coaches that are causing this

[@weebolddavy]

Yes Bob, I could believe it. I was standing outside the Green Welly Stop at Tyndrum and one of these logging trucks came into the car park. You could hear the tyres destroying the gravel as it slowly passed us

Just stunning

[@Robertonnz]

Lovely views Bob & Jenny. Thanks for the thoughtful pan at the end.

[@wellywelly100]

Absolutely stunning!

[@vitorgarcia1958]

It was very good to remember places and roads that I've been to. Good work, congrats!

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thank you.

[@vitorgarcia1958]

Bob Earnshaw you're welcome! If you have some time, on my personal page you have some photos of the isle of skye: www.visualkosmos.com/blog/2018/6/23/36wz3jvnputeu271qg1edemfj2x2nr

[@choltrig]

Very brave taking that single track road .well done Bob!

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

It's fine taken quite slowly.

[@margdaly1271]

Such a magical place, the views are stunning. The sound of the running stream is so relaxing and really captures the wild atmosphere. I bet the air was refreshing. I am going to watch this one tour again. Thank you.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thank so much. Yes a magical place.

[@bridgetsalter265]

Full marks .....and what lovely clean facilities 👍👌

[@joecam5130]

Without doubt the best views you have ever documented. Definitely on the list of must do places and sites.

[@stephenbolton9044]

Beautiful site

[@ShouldIstayorshouldItownow]

Lovely looking site. We are thinking about a Scottish tour next year so enjoying watching this series. Thank you for sharing. Cheers Stuart, Rebecca and blue 🐾

[@wendyshepherd4824]

Hi Bob and Jenny, I came across your channel, when we got our first motorhome 8 months ago. After taking inspiration from your videos, we had our first trip to the west highlands in April, and it was one of the best holidays we've ever had. Can't wait to see your stay on Uist, and following the rest of your trip x

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thank you very much, great to hear.

[@trishbannister7220]

Clean doggie as well . I just love it. Clean people thank you 😁😁😁😁🌸👏👏👏💐💐💐💐

[@gillnicholls9665]

That journey looks ztunning. Thank you so much for the inspiration. We've now got to go. Lol. Xxx beautiful

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Yes, you have to love Scotland, rain or shine!

[@steadycamuk1]

Lovely views

[@tonymarsh6748]

Another 👍🏻 great video look forward to the next

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thank you.

[@davidarchibald5578]

Toured Scotland many a time on the bike and cursed every motorhome I've bumped into, now I cant wait to be out in ours more and more, poor old bike sits in the garage. Another good vlog Bob.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thanks, I always wanted a Motorbike, but never got one, guess I never will. Safer in a Motorhome though!

[@justinlinnane8043]

what stunning views !! great place to set up camp .

[@wildflowerwind6941]

If there isn't already, there should be a video game on driving through England and Scotland. Seriously, what an adventure just getting somewhere.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Yes, but what a reward when you get there!

[@Mrs.S-UK]

Beautiful, can't wait to go

[@georgeoliver8989]

Cracking views what a great place to be enjoy the break Jenny Bob 👍👍

[@baikal627]

Like the lake district nice

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

The Scottish Highlands and The Lake District are both great.

[@dcs7077]

Yes, excellent video!!! Gorgeous place! Must go to Scotland. That site is only 8 or 9 hours from me!! Your arriving ats are very useful and I like how you zoom in on the road signs too.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thanks for your kind comments. Yes, it is a fair drive from our home, but it is well worth if.

[@kevinogilvie7082]

Nice way to spend life 😀

[@adrianpipe3323]

Watching this arriving at, having just arrived at the same site right now! I went exactly this way but without the bit that passes the pub. My plan was to stop at the Loch Tulla Viewpoint but there is now a sign saying "no motorhomes between 7am and 7pm", so motorhomers are now not allowed to look at views - heaven forbid!! I therefore parked at the Loch Ba viewpoint parking area a little further along to waste a bit of time before I could book in. This is a great scenic spot!

[@WonderingWomble]

Hi.. on your video time, at 12.50 I had a 2 week old caravan on the back of my 2 week old Ford Granarda scoripo and I was indicating to turn right and used the center lane to filter, the road was clear so started to turn and a motorbike was over taking us all on the right hand side and as I got over the caravan was still in the road and the motor bike went straight throw the one side and out the other. they estimated he was doing over 100mph to do that much damage. YES spoiled our holiday.. I do watch most of your video's but never comment, but this just brought back memories.. Cheers

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Not great memories then, but thanks for watching.

[@anthony01571]

It's great to be back on the road of adventure !!!! : o ............. Just beautiful !!!!!!!! : o ......... Peace on Earth : ) ........

[@dickpotter6108]

Brilliant, scenery is superb, avon oh so soft for midgies, my dad said only way to keep midgies away is to emerse in water lol.

[@adrianrowan5037]

Skin so soft is the best midge repelant

[@russellnewton6660]

Every time I go to the highlands, I come to Edinburgh looking like the elephant man, the midges love me.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

I suppose you have tried all the remedies. Have you tried 'Smidge'?

[@Doubleoseven502]

Raining in Scotland! I canny believe it!!!! I know that area well. Buachaille Etive Mòr is one of my favourite mountains. Really enjoying following your trip around the West Highlands. You may already know this but try the Avon moisturiser for midges and mosquitos It really works! Its called ‘skin so soft’

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Yes, we used Skin So Soft last time we went. Going to see how we get on with Smidge. So far, so good.

[@PoshcatsCamping]

Lovely area near Glencoe. It’s really nice for walking as it’s not too challenging. Thanks for another excellent video. 😄👍🏻 Trev n Sue

[@gallivantinggalantes]

Hi, fantastic video of the mountains, I love the west coast of Scotland. We haven’t got a motor home as yet but hopefully will be soon. Your videos are so informative, thank you, will keep following you both xx

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thanks for watching. Hope you find the motorhome you love soon.

[@Mod-rw9cw]

WHAT RAINING in Scotland 🤷‍♂️ seeing is believing. I spent every summer holiday from1971 to 1982 up in these west highlands and along the coast Glen Coe was the best and I also liked Tralee bay near Oban.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

We have had some great weather up there!

[@sandraharkness1455]

Beautifuly filmed Bob,let us know how the smidge performed please! Look forward to Fort William and hope You & Jenny take a trip up Aonach Mor on the cable car. Highly recommend it the views of the Great Glens are Amazing!🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@trishbannister7220]

I’ve been up there many years ago 👍👍👍😁😁

[@lindajones6228]

Stunning scenery . Lovely video .Have you ever stayed at Glen Nevis near Fort William thats another nice place.I use Avon dry oil spray for midges .Enjoy your trip

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

No not stayed at Glen Nevis, it does look to be a great location!

[@Warrior6504]

I'm at Bunree in three weeks I've not been for a few years.

[@fredbloggs9152]

Bob. Love the videos. They’ve been invaluable to newbies like us. However one thing we always look for in a site is a nearby pub and shop. I know you and Jenny like the occasional drink, so how about a bit of local information around the site. How far to walk to “civilisation” etc. Heck you could even review the beer 😋. I know some of your videos do show the occasional wander into a hostelry but a bit more detail about the locality of sites would be good.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Lol. This trip we've been staying away from the pubs, saving our money until we meet up with our friends!

[@xvsupremacy7190]

By gum you are ardent walkers !

[@garykuiken6191]

Very much enjoyed the video but here's a quick question. I was in Glencoe in 1970 and I only remember a very narrow road. Is that the road you turned onto at around 11 minutes into the video. I also remember walking onto an old Roman road along the way. Also remember a youth hostel and an old pub which I believe closed around supper time which seemed awfully inconvenient to us Canucks. Anyways really enjoyed your video. Hoping to spend time in GB in the spring of next years. Cheers.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

In 1970 a lot of the roads were like the one I turned into. The main road is much wider and both way. A lot of the original roads are still there.

[@grumpynanny7402]

Narrow roads all over Scotland. We go to mostly SW Scotland. Much prefer it. Been to Glencoe and Highlands many times.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Yes we filmed our trip to New England Bay last year, very nice.

[@janetturner7489]

What is helpful against midgies are the following: Avon Skin so soft as this has insect repellent in it (dark green bottle), Always good to wear a hat. Perfume etc tends to attract midges, so they're out of the equation. Take garlic tablets or capsules according to the dosage on the packet just before you go to bed but do not bite but just swallow the garlic down, I have used the capsules and you can't taste the garlic. You can use Smidge as well. It is advisable to have antiseptic cream incase you are stung. I hope you find this helpful.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

I found Smidge very useful.

[@janetturner7489]

@@BobEarnshawMoHo Great!

[@sassylassie3230]

Love the Music ❤ but the Views even more! Fabulous Vlog!!😍 What is the name of the music at the start Bob? Cheers 👍

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

It's called Nimbus by Eveningland. From the KZbin Audio Library.

[@PaulRubyloo]

Just a quickie Bob, is there a footpath to the village and the shop, away from the main road. Thanks. Love the videos by the way.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Yes, it can get a bit muddy, but just off the track at the back of the site, there's a trail that leads down to the vilage.

[@Motorhoming_Fun]

Nice vlog Bob and Jenny, have you tried Avon skin so soft been told to buy that for midges?

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Yes, we have loads of bottles of Skin So Soft, we'll see how we get on with Smidge. So far, no issues with midges.

[@michaelwilliams786]

Excellent video Bob. What camera do use to film the road ahead.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thank you. I use a GoPro Hero 6 to film the road ahead.

[@ThatYorkshireChap]

Love your arrival vids & usual commentary & chit chat with your wife but please lose the music.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thank you, but we like the music on the driving parts. Also sometimes you can't hear us, especially when I forget to plug the mics in!

[@ZerHour]

The site looks amazing ,do you have to be member to stay ? 👋👋

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Non members welcome.

[@davidofcoburg9279]

We are really enjoying your Scotland tour, than you. Faye has again commented favourably on you managing to duck showing her the urinals!! (it must be a girl thing as it doesn't bother me). Like yourselves we are also RVing vegetarians and find that in small Australian and outback country towns pubs and cafes don't cater at all for us vegos. I haven't heard you comment on this aspect of your touring... do British pubs and cafes in small towns cater for vegetarians or do you often have to give it a miss? Downunda - Jayco Class C owners, Melbourne Australia

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Most pubs and cafes now cater for vegetarians in the UK and there's a growing vegan trend too.

[@owenjohn1192]

I need to get back up to Scotland, one thing that confused me why did you come of the A82, and go on that dodgy little road just to come back up the A82?

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

We had some time to kill, so we wanted to drive through the village.

[@markandtraceysmotorhomeadv2345]

Love following your Vlogs and we have started our own as a result of yours and other similar Vlogs. We have the 722 version of your motorhome. Please feel free to have a watch and give us any feedback that could help us move forward. We are getting better at it as we move forward and gain in confidence. Its called Mark and Tracey's Motorhome adventures. Keep up the good work.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thank you, I'll have a look out for your channel.
