[@mckaypetsupplies5777]

Thanks for all your lovely comments asking after me. I’m not too bad now - still a bit sore but the bruising is going now. Your comments are much appreciated. Aileen

[@vansforthememories]

I’m so sorry to watch what happened Aileen, I hope you’re doing ok, that must’ve have given you a scare! 😢 sending you a big hug 🤗 💞 Em 💜xxxx

[@danielrussell446]

Sorry to see what happened Aileen hope that you are feeling better sending our love Daniel Victoria Joseph and Oliver

[@clarefrancis9284]

Fab. So glad Aileen is ok.♥️

[@jaynehook2520]

Sending best wishes to Aileen, thank goodness you are recovering xx

[@harrythehymersholidays]

We absolutely love Arran. There’s so much to see and do and they are very welcoming to motorhomers. We spent two weeks on the island earlier in the year and still want to go back as there are places we didn’t see. It really is Scotland in miniature! Stunning.

[@lizzie9581]

Poor Aileen, so glad you are ok. Enjoy your holidays together.

[@wendlit]

Glorious! That view is stunning !❤

[@dongraham1559]

Nice to see a UAX12 building! I worked for GPO / BT too on Netec / Consultec! Arran looks really nice, must pay a visit. A bit closer for us living in Cumbria. Hope Aileens foot has fully recovered!

[@petajames4292]

Oh my goodness what an awful thing to happen to poor Aileen! I bet you're all thanking your lucky stars it wasn't any worse than it was. On a brighter note, what a beautiful, scenic place to stop for a few days. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us all ❤

[@adelebeattie8021]

OMG. What a traumatic event and what a shock for you all. Wishing Aileen a speedy recovery.

[@maryfennell9672]

That grey motorhome you passed was Stephen with his dog Skye from Country Vanlife UK!

[@richardhewitt.easyvanlife.6957]

And he was not illegally parked.

[@grapesodatravels]

My! What a spot! That view! That pub! Huge jealousy going on here.... 😂 Yikes... poor Aileen. Hugs for all four of you. Hope A can get some rest. Keep it elevated and iced, dear girl. N&Nx

[@jillholly6445]

The Isle of Arran looks lovely, enjoyed watching your travels. Poor Aileen - very frightening.

[@gallivantinggalantes]

Hello Bob, Jenny and Poppy , beautiful scenery, lovely campsite. The beach was amazing. So sorry to hear about Aileen, hope you are on the mend now 🤗. Poor Aileen. Take care all xx Julie and Tony xx

[@Wheres_wanda_wandering]

Oh gosh poor Aileen. Please send her my best and hope she feels better soon. I liked the campsite position. Take care Gill

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Just messaged her with your message.

[@Wheres_wanda_wandering]

@@BobEarnshawMoHo Thank you

[@dennismatthews6660]

Thank you. Keep safe!

[@markhamilton-peach1671]

You're so, so lucky with the weather. Absolutely beautiful. It's cloudy in Southampton!!

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

We were lucky, but this was two weeks ago.

[@gereshomeE]

Beautiful driving & scenery! 🙂 4:28 (That will be the engine break assistance!) I’m GLAD that you’re ALL okay! ✝️🙏

[@victoriabright7071]

Glad Aileen is ok and that Jenny and the dogs were ok. Looks fabulous there. Looking forward to more of your adventures and hope Jenny's crossing was ok 👍

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Crossing was fine and calm. A beautiful day.

[@jackfishcampbell6745]

This is very interesting to a couple of life-long Winnipegers . We live in East Kildonan . There is also North , a West , and an Old Kildonan . When I was young I used to drink in the Kildonan Hotel . A bunch of people from that part of Scotland were put on ships at gunpoint and sent to the wilderness of Canada in 1812 and 1813 . They were called the Selkirk Settlers . After the Lord Earl of Selkirk sponsored them . They were not welcomed by the French and mixed race Metis . The indigenous people who's chief was Peguis helped them a lot in things like ice fishing . - 40 f /c was quite common in those days . How they survived bitter cold drought and grasshoppers eating their crops , I'll never know . They were helped a lot , and when people fled Iceland and volcanic disaster later in that century , they were in turn shown the ropes by the indigenous people . We have a large Scottish community , and a fairly good sized Icelandic community .

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

That's interesting, times were hard for those people.

[@jamescampbell9521]

Very glad everyone is alright

[@franmiller6270]

Loved that site, thank you for going there. Relieved you were ALL ok after the incident ❤ I love your channel watching all 3 of you on your adventures. My husband and I used to do the same but sadly he’s not around anymore but watching your channel is great! Thank you xx

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thanks for watching, glad it helps. 😊

[@countryvanlifeuk]

Lovely wee site Bob You nearly ran over me and Skye 🐾 on the road in LOL 🤪🤪 Pub is nice too x Enjoy Otters pop in there Hope your friends are ok Oh this guy thats been parked on way out was me LOL That layby spot was allowed nights unlike Grass areas ATB Stay Cozy both ATB 🦋🦋👊🐾🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😘

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Ah, right I see,

[@louisesymonds9963]

4.54 and 30.31 that was Stephen and Skye in Christine from Country Vanlife UK! He’s spent the winter on the island. Relieved to hear nothing broken after the incident. Must’ve been very frightening for all. Enjoy the rest of your trip. Xx

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Yes, I didn't realise that until he commented on here!

[@louisesymonds9963]

How funny. I’ve just watched his ‘RESCUE ladies in distress’ & your van features a couple of times. It looks a lovely part of the island especially in the sunshine. X

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

It's a small island. 🏝️ I'll have to watch that.

[@danielrussell446]

Hi Bob and Jenny wow what a place to stay! That view is amazing and how lovely to wake up to that beautiful every morning Arran is wonderful and we have loved visiting when we have for the day must be even better to stay there for longer! Well that’s a convenient walk to the pub so even better! Hope Aileen is much better must have been such a shock for you all Remember the time we got the bus on Arran we waited 2 hours in Lochranza then bus arrived and he really zipped around those lanes but the highlight was seeing some minky whales and the driver pulled over for us to see them! All the best to you all Daniel

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

We went for a ride in Bob's car round the island, and the roads really go up and down! Must be a bit disconcerting.

[@clareclark6535]

Thats shocking 😮 hope Eileen is ok. I love the Isle of Arran.

[@cragman]

Very enjoyable watch, glad all are ok, looking forward. to the rest of the adventures

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@LeisureBit]

The first corner at the start of the video we met cars on that, had been quiet until we got to the tight bit typically. It’s a lovely place - especially when the sun shines. Lovely outlook from the pub isn’t it. We do love the campsite, with Pladda and Ailsa Craig to look out across and so much wildlife and sea life. I found some nasty holes in the reeds when walking back along! Poor Aileen what an awful thing to happen. ❤ Thank goodness there wasn’t more damage, bad enough as it was. Great to hear good service from the hospital. Imagine it put a damper on your holiday. Shame about the rain on the last day. All the very best, David & Rachel 👍

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thanks, we dud enjoy the site, in spite of the accident.

[@bluesaint72]

Loving these films. We’ve just bought our first van - can’t wait to get up to Scotland.

[@davidmeakin584]

Glad Aileen is on the mend lovely site hope the ferry crossing wasn't too choppy for you safe travels 👌

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

The crossing was mill pond calm.

[@barbarawiddowson635]

At the risk of repeating myself(and I feel I'll be doing that a lot on this trip) beautiful views.I hope Aileen makes a speedy recovery and gets over the shock.Safe travels see you on the next.

[@Gillian-o5g]

Glad Aileen is okay and you’re getting over the shock of it.❤At least the pubs not far to get to.😅

[@vansforthememories]

That looks like a beautiful setting for a campsite 🥰 and bonus walking distance to a pub with food 😎 I’m so sorry to hear about the incident with Aileen & Jenny, that must’ve been a shock. I’m glad all ok, keep your chin up & hugs to Jenny 💞 Em 💜xx

[@keefnbailz]

The grey camper belongs to Stephen. He's been on Arran for months now. YT channel is Country Van Life UK. Can't wait to visit Arran. It looks so nice. Hope Aileen is OK and recovering well.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Yes, he commented earlier. Didn't realise!

[@MichaelScott-kw6gv]

Fantastic Video. Well Done.

[@wendlit]

Poor Aileen, 😢hope your foot recovers soon. Everyone else is in shock 😮- a horrible experience .

[@lyndaholmes7293]

Loved this vlog arran looks beautiful

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thanks so much 😊

[@LindaHulbert-x5r]

Great video, thank you😊 Stayed at this site for a week and had unbroken sunshine, plus the bonus of the hotel too. Hope Aileen's foot is on the mend.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Ah that's good to hear.

[@AdrianSimms-y1u]

Great footage. Thank you. Still Maurice running Seal Shore ? Been many times. Nice to see a new bar and bistro next door.Look after yourselves.Cheers Rusty Ade

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

We didn't stay long enough to get to know who was running it. 😁

[@mckaypetsupplies5777]

It is still Maurice

[@hayard61]

Arran looks lovely. A good old fashioned camp site. So sorry about Aileen's foot. The last thing anyone wants to happen while on your jollys. Glad to read that it's on the mend now though.

[@NBNatureTrailvan]

Oh my goodness what a nightmare. I remember you posting this at the time Bob. Aileen very lucky in the end that could have been a heck of a lot worse. But the campsite looked stunning - one we would love to get to. 👍👍👍

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

It was a view to remember!

[@MotoringMatilda]

Wow, that sounded like a very close shave! I am so glad you are OK Aileen. The video brought back some memories for me. We stayed in a house up above the Kildonan Inn, overlooking Holy Island and Ailsa Craig. My mum could never look at the island, she always said it looked like a hole in the sky to her :). Ian

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

It is a very strange rock! 😊

[@simonpoole4399]

I must admit your van is very quiet no rattling at all well packed

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

There are a few, but it's better than our previous motorhome.

[@hazelbest3867]

Hi just watching this video, and my husband sent me a selfie he had with you at Southport service station it made my day ❤

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

I meet viewers in all sorts of places. 😊😊👍

[@SheilaPalmer-i2e]

Beautiful scenery. Shame about Aileen foot .

[@robertkeith6952]

hi bob that van you passed is a utube vlogger as well contry van life hes been on the island for about 8 month enjoying your videos cheers

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Yes, Country Van Life, a few people have pointed that out.

[@mikewykes6565]

Set the instrument panel to show the navigation display, that way it’s easier to spot upcoming turns!

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Yes, I have been using that display. It was my fault I missed the turn.

[@peters6601]

Palm trees onsite, just shows the influence of the Gulf Stream.

[@galdessa1]

Their about 2000 different types of Palm trees, some are very hardy and can survive temperatures down to minus 20c.

[@Goldenretrieverandacampervan]

Good grief poor Aileen, looks like a great site though 👍🏻

[@ZerHour]

Some nice sites up there re traveling on ferries etc ,jenny maybe right the rain can be a sign of rougher seas, though, as when it rains, the barometric pressure typically decreases because low-pressure systems are associated with rainy weather. This decrease in pressure can indeed affect sea states. Lower pressure can lead to slightly higher sea levels due to reduced atmospheric pressure pushing down on the water surface. This, in turn, can contribute to potentially larger waves and rougher sea conditions. Jennys' observations about the rain might be right .anyway enjoy ,best wishes to Aileen and friends.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

It was relatively calm on the way back.

[@jackiestokes6502]

I’m so glad Aileen is okay ❤ the poor man must’ve been horrified!! You guys have been so lucky with the weather. Unfortunately for us our Scottish tour had to be cancelled because my husband bob became too ill to travel. We’ve managed to book a few days away at Sandringham next week, all being well 😊 I’ve absolutely loved your Scottish tour x

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Sorry to hear you had you cancel your Scottish trip.

[@garyscourfield1755]

We have the same problem with our sat nav drives me made

[@jackiesmithsmetaldetecting]

Fabulous views from your pitch, the Bistro too beautiful. Poor Aileen so glad it was not broken, sounded really scary. How long does it take the ferry from there?

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Yes, Aileen could have had it much worse. The ferry was an hour.

[@DesmondsDonders]

Only three wards? Dining Room, Master Bedroom and spare bedroom. All well that ends well, thankfully.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

They saw her so quickly, that was impressive.

[@adiwilson42]

It doesn't look like Scotland. It looks like Caribbean Island

[@Panzerman1951]

Not good about the accident. Hope Aileen is on the road to recovery.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Much better now.

[@mckaypetsupplies5777]

Getting there. Foot still sore but could have been much worse

[@suzannerockall4030]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@richardspeight9520]

Scenery overload Bob. Glad all ok. Jen and Aileen saved the dogs , it cost a bruised foot but that incompetent driver should not be driving a bike nevermind 3 tons on wheels

[@galdessa1]

I bet the caravan site put that no camping sign up, why does everyone try and charge for parking at tourist spots, it doesn't happen here in Denmark.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

It only applies to the grass not the layby. There is no charge for parking there. The campsite isn't allowed to put signs up, only councils can do that.

[@lindahaynes3475]

What a nightmare chill out now .

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

We did 😊

[@rogermadeley7413]

Glad Aileen is OK.If one of the dogs had been run over it would have caused serious injuries or worse. Seal shore has picked up since we went to stop there as there weren't any roads just a field that was chocka with tents so we moved on.We had a beer at the hotel and I remember asking the lad behind the bar whatever happened to Tenants Extra that we used to get south of the border and he didn't know.I don't think you even get it in Scotland now as I don't remember seeing any last time we were up there...shame as it was a good pint.

[@bobmckayfreedom]

I think they changed the name to Tennants Super which you can still get…it’s an acquired taste at 9%….

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

I also remember some terrible hangovers from Carlsberg Special!

[@rogermadeley7413]

@@bobmckayfreedom Thanks Bob...Extra was around 5% and was a black T with gold edging on the bar...I remember seeing Super on draught in a pub in Salisbury...don't think you would need many of them!!!

[@James5377]

On your throat , I had tonsillitis three weeks ago And heavy cold and cough

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

It's not tonsillitis as Jenny has no tonsils. She's better now.

[@James5377]

Oh my god that is bad what were those people thinking they obviously can't drive a motor home I hope she is okay Did you inform the police

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

She's better now, just sore, the local police did attend.

[@richardcope3850]

Trust you have reported Aileen’s incident to the Police. Driving without due care and attention along with injuring a pedestrian.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

We did and the police came to the site.

[@COLLSWORK]

😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@mickwalker5120]

What's you're problem ? Where Steve was parked is allowed. Its not part of the grass area which is No Overnights. Ive stayed there myself and it is perfectly legal. So there's no need for all the added comments and further ones on messenger about who he is and his channel. I know him personally and can assure you he doesn't park overnight in places which are not allowed

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

I didn't know he was in the layby area and I have chatted with Steve. I've made no comments on messenger?

[@mickwalker5120]

Other people have after seeing you're comment on here. Accusing him of bad parking on the Island

[@mickwalker5120]

If you look it's pretty obvious it's a layby pull in and not the grass area. Btw I'll be staying there again tomorrow !

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Yes, I'm sorry for that. I deleted the bit in the video.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

It wasn't obvious to me or or I wouldn't have said it. Like I said, sorry it wasn't meant to be malicious.

[@scottmckenzie365]

You should be stand side a Bush you should be move u cant point the figure at the drive it was her and ur wife

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

I think you mean it was Aileen's fault for the driver not seeing her? Nice.

[@mckaypetsupplies5777]

You weren’t there. Driver came round on wrong side of road, wasn’t looking and took corner too tight. Thankfully authorities know who was at fault. Driver has admitted full liability
