[@susanjennings4113]

Really enjoyed this the place is gorgeous and it’s interesting watching the boats on the canal. Also love the journey footage beautiful scenery. Looking forward to the next one. Happy birthday Rick 🎉🎂🥂

[@RickandHeather]

Ahh thanks 🙏 it was obviously a few weeks ago now but as you’ll see in next weeks video I had a wonderful day 👍

[@NBNatureTrailvan]

Glen Etive looks stunning. And we did that Glencoe drive the day after the storm! Such a gorgeous place. Love that Aire. We going to have to brave an off grid!! Lovely to meet you guys this week 👍👍

[@RickandHeather]

Great to meet you too 👍 see you again sometime

[@lynnbateman7571]

The weather was being kind to you by the looks of it, lovely scenery 👍🏻

[@RickandHeather]

Ahhh we got our fair share of rain later in the tour unfortunately 🤣 but we enjoyed it all! It’s a beautiful place to be 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Hi both lovely vlog and beautiful scenery that you went through xx❤❤❤

[@RickandHeather]

Thanks 🙏 yes it’s a beautiful area we really enjoyed it ❤️

[@ChrisHamlet]

Another really good vlog. Really enjoyed it. Fort Augustus is a beautiful place and looked so different without so many people in the evening. The Motorhome park up looks great - I’ve added it to my list. Thanks for the suggestions 😊 Hope you had a good birthday 🎉

[@RickandHeather]

It was a great stop and the birthday was brilliant (see next week) 👍

[@danielrussell446]

Hi Rick and heather a great video as ever and two lovely locations looks like you have had the weather as well! It’s not an area I’ve visited but would love to it looks great and remember seeing the signs for the Caledonian canal when we went to Loch Ness it’s the same there with the tourists Looks like you are having a great time and better weather than we are having down here all the best to you all Daniel

[@RickandHeather]

Weather was good for a lot but we had our share of the rain…thanks as always for commenting 😊

[@paultaylor9652]

Thanks for sharing Ric and Heather, never been up that far in Scotland, looks like you had a great time.

[@RickandHeather]

I think we’d move there tomorrow…. Beautiful country 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@cathrynbagley8005]

That looked like a beautiful place to spend a day or two.

[@RickandHeather]

It was wonderful, definitely one of the nicest days!

[@ttxela]

I liked the look of that Aire 👍

[@RickandHeather]

It was brilliant mate!

[@LeisureBit]

Is it a long way down the road to the bond spot? Imagine it’s a pain if you catch it at a busy time as it looked single track in places. It’s fascinating watching the boats on the canals - have you ever tried it? I quite fancy giving it a go as a one off thing to do. Think you need a lot of patience. Looks like you got some decent weather. Some really fancy boats going along the canal. Hope you had a lovely birthday in Inverness! Hope the weekend has gone ok, nice to see you on Friday. All the very best, David & Rachel 👍

[@RickandHeather]

It’s a good couple of miles but it’s ok you get used to the passing places, the Caledonian canal is a busy waterway yes! We really enjoyed it there. Hopefully see you soon ❤️

[@Wheres_wanda_wandering]

Happy belated birthday. I’m surprised how busy the canal was. It looked beautiful though. Take care Gill

[@RickandHeather]

Yeah it’s a busy old set of locks! Thanks for the belated birthday wishes 🙏

[@harrywatson7072]

Hi folks,we used to go to a site just up the road but it is now a fancy holiday park with lodges

[@RickandHeather]

Ahh that’s a shame! Lots of old school sites seem to do that as people expect more, I prefer old school myself!

[@andyblake1849]

Lovely stuff. Beautiful place. Driven past , need to stop sometime .Great aire.

[@RickandHeather]

Definitely you do matey it’s lovely 👍 cheers for the comment as always 🙏

[@birdnest5814]

Awesome trip 👍👏😊

[@RickandHeather]

Plenty more to come! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@alannorman1773]

Hi They chose that location because half way to the end of the Glen Etive road there is a house on the left hand side which was owned by the Fleming family and where some of the Bond stories were written and where Ian Fleming was brought up. I camped in his garden many years ago while doing the Gold D or E expedition!! Hope that clears up the confusion ❤❤.

[@RickandHeather]

Ahh fabulous 👍 thanks for clearing that up we appreciate it ❤️

[@tylerstravels0610]

Great video mate, well it was ok 🙂 Could sit and watch canal locks all day long, long as i had a beer 🙂 Yeah agree that park up needs to be better policed, why should you pay £10 when free loaders come over and spoil it for everyone !! See you soon 🙂

[@RickandHeather]

Yeah I did rant but cut it out…. I agree sat by the water with a beer just watching is ace, see you in a couple weeks 👍

[@patrickh7368]

Great adventures…😳 I’m interested to know if that Motorhome has a torque converter - auto box or is it something different..?

[@RickandHeather]

I’ve no idea….. it’s a nice box though 👍

[@davemorris6747]

It’s a shame the chancers took advantage of the four space park up. Some areas of Scotland apparently have it in for Motorhomes/Campervaners and it’s not helped when the chancers take advantage. I’d love to do the NC 500 but I was told a while ago by a Scottish colleague to give it a miss at the moment as the locals are revolting regards travellers.

[@RickandHeather]

As with everything Dave, the few spoil it for the many… we play fair though and our conscience is clear. Scotland is way more than the 500 and hopefully this tour shows that, thanks for the comment we appreciate it 🙏

[@karlospappy8908]

Just catching up with KZbin whilst I have Covid🥲 Looked an amazing spot, Mrs K wants to go away next week and you may have inspired me but I would probably want to take a fat tyre electric bike with me to ride from Loch Ness to Fort William (now that would be a good review) Cheers K.

[@RickandHeather]

Covid? Camper show? Good idea on the bike…. Don’t forget your phone 🫣
