I live very close to Loch Lomond, around 5 minutes drive from Balloch

Hi Andy, This is the first of your videos we've watched and thoroughly enjoyed it. I was brought up in the area I I've learnt some new things from watching your videos. They are very informative, we've subscribed, liked and look forward to watching another one. Well done Andy, keep making them, you're doing a great job. Ian and Angie.

[@Paddythebluegiraffe]

Hi Andy, I used to drive (and on many occasions, even cycle), the A82 every weekend on my way to climbing in the highlands. The road now between Balloch and Tarbet has been widened and straightened, the old road was much more winding and narrow. I expect the large pull outs are remnants of the old road. I used to avoid Luss, especially in the summer to avoid all the tour busses. I now live in Canada and it was great to see your video and bring back memories, I much prefer it to the ‘professional’ shows that only broadcast snippets of the best bits and miss out all the nooks and crannies. I wonder if the traffic lights are still on the section that narrows to one lane around a particularly nasty bend ?

[@kirsteneasdale5707]

Douglas Bain The traffic lights are gone at Pulpit Rock and the road has been widened by a flying bridge out over the Loch.

[@williammills9236]

Hi Thanks for your quick reply And giving me some insite into restrictions around Loch Lomond. And once again if it's not too much trouble keep your videos coming. Billy

[@peepsibhoy]

A popular dogging area that road at Duck Bay marina.

[@williamhurley8407]

Hi Andy yet another great video really enjoyed it. I have driven the Loch Lomond road north of Tarbet a few times in my van. I find it ok, a bit of a challenge. Was driving it last year and a lorry carrying timber appeared at sharp bend. I just slowed right down and we eased past each other. I have driven single track roads on Mull, I have no problems With them, I actually prefer them to narrow two way roads. Great video Andy, give amber a pat from me.

[@bobmckayfreedom]

If I’m gong north I usually go m80 then A84 then A85 A lot more relaxing than A82 😄😄😄

[@EMidMSO]

Really useful & informative vid Especially the way you include location maps! Great photos btw What drone are you using?

[@fliesbychris]

Hey Andy I grew up just near Balloch so I really enjoy driving up the lochside in my camper, it used to be a lot narrower between balloch and tarbet and in places towards the head of the loch.

[@petecoventry6858]

I just did this in an EV but I am buying a Motorhome and will do this again soon ;)

[@CamperCameraGo]

What ev did you do it in?

[@boatingsibbingandwandering3262]

We have a 9 day holiday in this area booked this year and this video is very helpful…. Thanks

[@carlhughes6459]

Used to use that route to go north in a van conversion but its just to narrow and unfortunately there’s no chance of widening the road. Now i have a coach built and wont chance it, i drive up stirling side and cut up through callender and then round to pick road at crianlarich, a lot less hairy

[@deenunya7735]

Luvly Vid , Drone Flying n Aerial views fantastic Driven that Road few times , just treat it with Respect , Regular Travellers drive stupid just because nothing has happened in the past they think it wont , if they want to pass you let them eventually you will catch up with one of them and their Vehicle a mess

[@williammills9236]

Hi Love your videos. Especially the one where you can wild camp overnight. Can I ask.Are you not allowed overnight camping at Duck bay or Luss.Or any laybays along Loch Lomond. Cheers. Billy.

[@CamperCameraGo]

Between March & September it's severely restricted to. Just the permit areas within the camping management zone, but outside of those months you're fine unless it's a location that is signposted for no overnight camping. I don't know how rigorously that's enforced, but certainly Mar-Sep the rangers enforce the restrictions.

[@DesmondsDonders]

My wife grew up at the other end of Glen Douglas from Luss. We know the area well but stay well clear during the summer months.

[@CamperCameraGo]

Thanks David. I drove through Glen Douglas in the car a couple of years ago. I need to have a donder over there in the motorhome some time.

[@robertcrouch6429]

Great scenery, even with the mist and low cloud. Were those bacon and tomato sandwiches Ambers?

[@CamperCameraGo]

Thank you. Amber seems to think any food I make is hers! I saved a little bit for her :)

[@karentucker2161]

All you need is some.lettuce and mayo😁!

[@davedenham8697]

Hi, do you have a fb page or how to contact you for info.....we’re going for a week in July and are newbies!!....thanks, dave

[@tomkenyon3721]

I live not too far away from Loch Lomond and indeed was calling on shops in this whole area up as far as Arrochar last summer..sadly the hotel in Tarbert has closed due to the Shearing holiday company collapse this being owned by the group as well as Oban and other Highland resorts because of Covid.

[@alburns7278]

great vid , some good spots....as for the road nothing worse than getting stuck behind camper vans & caravans "enjoying the views" as not pulling in now & again to let the miles of traffic behind them pass

[@harrysmith846]

I did the A82 in an artic lorry just before Xmas just gone, yes that bit towards tarbet is very narrow and bendy road, proceed with caution. Great vid

[@flagwanker6346]

Going for main dark parks around lochs , is guaranteed to empty your cash very quickly

[@carybarrettwildlifeandtrai3261]

i rolled my car there in 2016 wet road no one hurt but f..k my holiday up

[@MichelleandNigel]

Really interesting video, thanks 😊

[@johndunne5582]

Luv loch lomand great vid

[@ColinTonkasdad]

yes i drove the road last week ! around that area the road is tight lots of twists, but you have to keep speed down. and i did spot some of the park ups , but you spotted many more .. so thanks again andy , nice photos and great views and yes come to scotland .. cheers

[@CamperCameraGo]

Thanks Colin. I was watching one of your videos a few days ago. Which electric bike have you got, and would you recommend it ?

[@ColinTonkasdad]

yes i would recommend , its the rad rhino , european version of the rad rover from the usa. i love it but its not legal unless you register the bike . i have not ! more info then message me my email is in the about section! cheers andy

[@ColinTonkasdad]

just an update andy , it appears that a few things about the class of bike are in a state of flux...no one seems to know whats going on . and government agencies are still in consultation ? cheers

[@CamperCameraGo]

@@ColinTonkasdad Thanks Colin. I've just started looking into getting one. There's a huge choice out there and at the moment I really don't know what I want or need.

[@ColinTonkasdad]

well if you are ever around forfar , you can always have a look and go of mine ... no worries it pays to do research .. cheers

[@SCHITSO99]

Great video Andy, thanks. I'd love to know more about what cameras you're using for stuff. You're very brave putting a drone up in the rain! Are you using a DJI Pocket? Cheers.

[@llwyni730]

Hi Andy you asked what others thought of driving the A82. In 2005, I ventured over to Dunoon, from N Ireland, and hired a motorhome from Motorhome Scotland. Don't know if they are still in business. My wife and I travelled from Dunoon to Invermorriston. I must admit for my first experience of driving a motorhome I found the trip a little challenging especially along the tight bends. However, it was all worth it to drive through the great glen later in the journey. I enjoy your videos, keep them coming. Tony

[@chrisbeesley6699]

Great little tour - we have been up there in our Motorhome and my wife is usually gripping her seat (I do all the driving) on that winding stretch along the shore! Very useful knowing about some of those lay-by's and the CMZ info too. Just subscribed :-)

[@shonaharris2565]

Just come across your videos, love how you keep it real and simple & fun ... feel like we’ve been on your journey with you 🙏👏👏

[@stephenbolton9044]

Thanks Andy. I like your knowledgeable and informative style

[@karentucker2161]

Some of my family is from Loch Lomond Scotland. They were the Keith's.

[@jack7168]

Loch Lomond is very interesting to practice vidéos or photos. A great place to be.

[@carybarrettwildlifeandtrai3261]

hi i rolled my car there in 2016 its was very wet

[@CamperCameraGo]

Cary Barrett oh no. That must’ve been pretty scary. I hope you weren’t hurt.

[@russellnewton6660]

I enjoyed that, you deserve more subs than you have Andy.

[@drummerdem50]

Andy are u planning on a European Trip in the future ?

[@Light-gp9hk]

God bless you! ty so much for this Gem!!! :)

[@davidjones9636]

Watched most of your vids, very good and love your photos. Can you tell me what breed of dog is Amber? Thanks

[@CamperCameraGo]

Thank you :). Amber is a Jack Russell, but she’s got unusually long legs!

[@davidjones9636]

@@CamperCameraGo thanks she looks like a Parson Russell to me. Did u get from a breeder? Sorry looking for a dog from good source. Our Parson recently died

[@CamperCameraGo]

@@davidjones9636 A lot of people think she’s a Parson, but both her parents had the regular stumpy little legs! She’s a mutant lol. We got her from a farm near Cumbernauld.
