There's very few places in Scotland where one feels uneasy i'm pleased to say.

[@roaminginraymond]

Yes, agree there. Never had any problems before.

[@hughtempleton8640]

Thank you for sharing your amazing travels ❤

[@roaminginraymond]

Thanks very much 😊

[@patriciayassin2983]

Your notification just popped up and sat down to watch. Cumbrae brought back many lovely childhood memories of summer holidays spent there. How good was that you managed to capture that submarine and the military ship!! They must have been carrying out manoeuvres from Faslane not far from there?! Great photography as usual. So sorry those yobs threw that bread at your van 😢. As you always say go with your gut feeling about parkups especially when you are on the road alone although Wolfie would be a good protector ❤.

[@roaminginraymond]

I remember you saying you used to go to Cumbrae as a child. You should go back sometime, it has such a lovely feel about it and everyone is so friendly. Yeah, you're right, trust your gut regarding park ups. You know we really enjoyed it before, and you said you used to live near there. Always some idiots who have to spoil things.

[@patriciayassin2983]

@roaminginraymond that's right I moved about 10 years ago back to Glasgow and it always used to be a great place for nature and waterfront activities well known in the area. Really mean-spirited of them though as they seemed to know what they were doing😡. You did look and sound chillaxed on Cumbrae and eventually Largs 2nd time around 😉. If it hadn't been for Largs stressing you with how busy it was you wouldn't have found the wee Cumbrae gem so good can appear out of bad situations 🥰

[@roaminginraymond]

@patriciayassin2983 definitely. I loved Cumbrae and was sad to leave there. But I had to as I visiting someone in their new bungalow in Stranraer a few days later.😂

Awesome photography again, Helen. Loved the blue sky when the sun went down. You caught some amazing scenery. Busy looking park up too, but i guess there is safety in numbers. I'm looking forward to your next one 😃

[@roaminginraymond]

Thanks Martin. Cumbrae was great and Castle Semple Loch is a lovely place with lots to explore, just a shame some prats had to ruin it. Don't know when the next one will be on 😁

[@BentleyOnTour]

@roaminginraymond Hoped you would have forgot about the dickheads by now. I've got no more vids up. Suffering again from cantbearseditis 😉

[@roaminginraymond]

​@BentleyOnTour I was going to do some more editing today but the dji mimo app is playing up and won't even open. Can't get my footage off until I sort it and had no Internet so couldn't do it. Right pain in the A. Hope I can sort it.

[@BentleyOnTour]

@roaminginraymond Oh dear, what a pain in the bum as you say. I haven't used that for ages. Lucky really. The only time I use it is if I need to do a pan timelapse, which is rare. Hope you get some Internet to open it soon. Take care

[@roaminginraymond]

@BentleyOnTour I have to use it to get the footage off. Definitely a pain in the bum!

[@trevorpat-lifeontherun]

We went to Faslane to see the subs, but there were none there, and you saw them. Well done Helen.

[@roaminginraymond]

Yes I remember you going there. I was surprised to see one and seeing one seemed quite dark in a way, if you get what I mean. But I suppose they are always about whether there's a war or not.

[@trevorpat-lifeontherun]

Yes, I suppose there is something quite sinister about submarines.

[@user-dl6jz4bh6h]

I am so sorry you had that experience.. they probably don’t belong to Millport. I hope you managed to try Nardinis ice cream at least. I live in Glasgow but I enjoy seeing our country through the eyes of our many English visitors .. have a safe trip

[@roaminginraymond]

Thank you for the kind comment. I didn't have any issues at Millport, it was at Lochwinnoch. Cumbrae was amazing and so welcoming too. Scotland is a wonderful country.

[@user-dl6jz4bh6h]

@@roaminginraymond ah I must have missed that somehow. Lochwinnoch is a strange wee place of sophistry and witchcraft ha ha! I am glad you had a good adventure for the most part

I stayed there earlier this year after leaving Arran. Brilliant park up and love Largs ATB 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🚌🐕

[@roaminginraymond]

Thanks Mick. Yes, Largs is a very nice place.

[@andreathomson4376]

A penny for Wolfies thoughts at the beginning of this vlog, he was miles away. Then, you got the look ‘you talking to me? 🥰🤭 Sorry you had that incident in the car park, love your rants (I agree on all counts). Lovely to see you back on screen, seems like ages, hope all is well with you and yours.

[@roaminginraymond]

Thanks Andrea, and yes, it has been a while. I was fuming, I just don't get the cheek or the disrespect. I often wonder what is going on in Wolfies head 😆 He's such a character and is good company.💜🐾 He's a terrible dreamer though. He wakes you in the night with his twitching and strange noises.

[@GordyAdam]

Lochwinnoch (Castle Semple), being so close to Paisley and Glasgow gets a lot of day trippers. Quite often they'll throw their rubbish from their cars into the car parking area when they leave, regardless of the fact that there are litter bins everywhere. I find it highly unlikely that you were targeted the way you imply. More likely they threw their remaining bread out of their car on exit and it landed on your van. Yes, it's not a nice habit but you'll generally find it with the drivers/families of the entitled ilk. I've always found Castle Semple to be a lovely place to visit, the bird life is amazing, free park up, facilities, water sports (if you have the equipment) and lovely walks all around the Loch and in the village itself. It's one of the few remaining places where people say 'hello' to you as you pass them even though you don't know each other. I think you gave Lochwinnoch an unfair review but it is what it is.

[@roaminginraymond]

They definitely didn't do it by accident, as they pulled up outside the front of the van laughing. I didn't know what they were doing until I saw stuff landing on my bonnet. Believe me, it was no accident. I really like it there and I have stayed before with my husband with no issues, and I'd stay again, just not on my own. There was no intention of giving Lochwinnoch a bad name. I was just unfortunate, that's all. It is a beautiful place with lots to explore like the old church and the RSPB centre.

[@ericwatt1447]

Yes your right its a sub and the boat the royal navy boat

[@roaminginraymond]

Thank you. Glad I got it right.😁

[@mmintravel7926]

Listening to the birds is such a relaxing sounds. Wow what an unusual thing to see, don’t see many subs. People are such bums these days.

[@roaminginraymond]

Yep, agree, listening to the birds is very relaxing and good for the soul. Yep, some people are bums these days.

Had to check on maps for this island. There’s loads of them . Be very quiet in winter, I bet this is where Stephen is of too.

[@roaminginraymond]

Don't think it would be big enough unless he's only going for a couple of weeks. Not as much to explore as Arran, but it's friendly and has a lovely atmosphere about it.

[@DesmondsDonders]

We thought that Castle Semple Loch was No Overnight Parking signs. We might give it a go this winter.

[@roaminginraymond]

@DesmondsDonders no, none there from what I could see. It's a nice place, I was just unlucky.

Cumbrae looks lovely Helen, shame about the idiots, we had some last night on their hooters, so moved on today, safe travels guys brilliant video 👍👊🥰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🚌

[@roaminginraymond]

It is annoying when you get idiots spoiling things, but always best to just move if you can. Cumbrae was just great. Five nights there and I'd have stayed longer if I could have. There's not loads there, but it just has a nice atmosphere and friendly faces.

[@wanderingbychoice]

@@roaminginraymond it looked very chilled out, we moved to a very peaceful loch creran, haven’t heard a car all night so far👊👍

@wanderingbychoice lovely. It's great when you find places like that.

@wanderingbychoice you have a great weekend too. I'll be watching your video later.😊

[@hughtempleton8640]

Aye, it is a submarine well spotted. ❤

[@roaminginraymond]

Thanks very much. Never seen one before and I was surprised to see one there.

[@maryfennell9672]

Yes, it was a submarine Helen, you were quite right. Such a shame those scumbags spoilt your park up, take care x

[@roaminginraymond]

It was strange seeing a submarine, never seen one before. Yes, they completely ruined it for me, but I felt uneasy anyway and that just made my mind up for me. Hope you're well Mary. xx

[@ericlacey6593]

Definitely looked like a submarine Helen ( well spotted) . Plenty of beautiful scenery on this trip and superbly filmed as always. The Loch is certainly a super place for the bird enthusiasts and nice for walking Wolfie ( beautiful boy) 🐕‍🦺. As you said the scumbags need to grow some brain cells and learn some respect, they need a good clout round the ear like we used to get . But I sopose in today’s world it’s not allowed,( sadly 🤬) . Thanks Helen for sharing your adventures take care Byyyyeeee 🚐👍

[@roaminginraymond]

Thanks Eric. No, not allowed to do such things anymore, that's why society is how it is, in my opinion. Hope you're well Eric.

I've actuabeen onboard a submarine but never seen one sailing by. I think that's a British astute class!

[@roaminginraymond]

Bet that was cool going on a submarine. You been using Google lol.

[@RaymondoLeeTravel]

@roaminginraymond yes I was in america on holiday and did a sub tour. Very lucky as me and she'll were only ones on it and we got a full guide by one of the engineers. Was a very cool experience. No Google, but I know they have a few classes astute and vanguard and the latter is way bigger! Like twice the tonnage

[@roaminginraymond]

@RaymondoLeeTravel oh right. Didn't know you knew about subs! Tour sounds like a great experience and something not many people would have done.

[@RaymondoLeeTravel]

@roaminginraymond nope. Was very lucky, right time right place. Also visited fort laudadale during USA Armed forces week and we had a Massive USS aircraft carrier and a few warships right off the beach. That was a fun week, lots of jets buzzing about and things happening in town.

[@roaminginraymond]
