Keep up the good work and all the best to the pair of you. Mark.

Mark really knows his stuff!!🎉

[@caroleagar6790]

If your pipes freeze again you could always use a hairdryer, powering it via your power bank. I've had to do this, this morning to remove the truma cover. The campsite looked lovely. Scotland has so much to offer I just hope the no parking doesn't take over and stop responsible vaners.

[@NorthernersonTour]

we do to carole we are seeing some messy park ups on our travels rubbish every where

[@johnconnick3796]

Thank you both, really enjoy your adventures ❤

[@NorthernersonTour]

Our pleasure!

[@Foot-patrol]

Hi guys, In Aviemore you can park near the leisure centre and use their showers as long as you respect the locals. Also, ask at the British Legion. ADIOS

[@hushladybug9400]

Come to Nairn lovely wee town, pitch up at the harbour and get some lovely food. Xx

[@LisaKerryTravelAdventures]

I love Nairn

[@craftynook1]

Fraserburgh has a brill motorhome aire called Glenbutchy, owners are lovely, it’s only £5 a night, overlooks the sea and they have water fill up and waste disposal (think charge extra for emptying loo)

[@dbardot]

Gold Postbox ... Royal Mail repainted them if someone from the town won a GOLD medal at the London 2012 Olympics.

[@evelynmelville3814]

Gold post box was painted for andy murrary tennis player who lives in dunblane

Gold post box was for David Smith who won Gold in the rowing at London 2012.

Gold postboxes represent an Olympic Gold medallist from the local area.🥇

[@Dave64track]

Great vlog loving the stunning scenery I subscribe to JP and Sammy in fact you was on his video the other day and I thought that's Mark and Lisa what a small world. That campsite looked out of this world with those stunning views with the pine forest. I hope you get your frozen pipes sorted and enjoy the week ahead.

[@NorthernersonTour]

It’s a mega place and Sammi And jp are lovely

[@anitageorge9028]

Love you both. Fantastic job you do and also love the music you use always perfect. Keep them coming.

❤St Andrews is lovely our daughter has a Lodge there. Pitlochry is a lovely place it’s only one street the drive there is stunning. The Cairngorms is lovely in the autumn and summer but freezing in the winter. Aw shame you had all that hassle it’s so stressful.Get your hat on Mark looks like it could snow. The gold post box is a tribute to those who won gold medals in the 2012 Olympics. There’s a lovely ZOO with tigers just outside. Aviemore.Safe travels lovelies❤

[@susangreen9127]

Hi Lisa and Mark. Love the intro music. The fish and chips look lovely. Nice that you met your friends, looks a great place for you to stay. Good idea to get the reduced camera, then send the other back, hope your all sorted with it. The scenery is stunning. Take care with the snow and ice. xx

Hi, friends call me Suzy xx

[@EddieHulme]

Thanks for your vlog . Nice timing as I am arranging my first trip to Scotland in our new motorhome . Camped loads of times in winter but never a motorhome . I am booking in at Glenmore which is the other site near Aviemore on the way to the visitor centre . You must have driven past it . I was looking at Dalready but it’s not close enough to where friends are staying and I need to cycle or walk to them . May need to follow Marks tip and insulate my waste pipes . Struggling to find places to stay at on the way from Midlands and also on way back . Great video you did as I could see where I am going .

[@Bessie66]

Love Pitlochry - only visited once about 35 years ago and thought how lovely it was

[@NorthernersonTour]

yes it’s stunning so mad there was no sound

[@jen2895]

I worked and lived in Pitlochry from fortwilliam originally left 79 moved to glesgo:) all my days then aberdeen 10 years (cove bay) then bk to just 10 min glasgow town ... robroyston Campsie Glen can see from our garden ... ❤

thank you chris and jan

[@jesusisking3974]

aww poor Mark....buy some walking sticks...the one's for speed walking...some have points at the end that easily take a better hold in icy ground. He can't afford any broken limbs...he's the Driver !! He also needs to wear a hat, scarf and gloves or he'll get pneumonia in Scottish winter weather. Anyhow this is a brilliant video with fantastic drone shots over such beautiful Vista's. Take care of each other and keep up the fantastic vlogs...it's all so exciting! Sending a gentle hug to chicco as he's so cute and dainty. 🤗

I was up in Ullapool last week in my converted Renault Master , just me and the dogs , it was -14c for 3 days and bright sunshine , not a problem , warm and toasty in the van and no problems , all down to design of water location etc , Most motorhomes are poorly designed in my opinion

Aviemore Gold Post Box Since then David Smith MBE has also added to the Olympian contingent with a Gold Medal in the mixed coxed fours at the London 2012 Paralympic Games at Eton Dorney. As tribute to all those in the 2012 Olympics who won a gold medal, the Royal Mail painted the Aviemore Post Office Post Box gold in recognition of his achievements. The box can be seen at Myrtlefield Shopping Centre outside the Aviemore Post Office

The cold has me a little concerned I wont lie, although I am excited at the prospect of some pretty winter photographs! The gold postboxes were painted to commemorate the 2012 Olympics btw. Looks like Aviemore isnt a good place for campers though, and an expensive tourist trap place to boot, so I'll avoid that one - thanks for the heads up! now to go hunt out your other videos!!

Post box are gold in honor of Oulipians. You can get a 12Dc pad to put in your water tank for the winter. Good lagging under the bus is always worth a look as most UK vans wont have it as uptil recently it was thought only for summer month. Oh and I would think cost too. £10 for rice thats mad.

[@NorthernersonTour]

with being off grid water tank heater would flatten the battery’s we have lagged the water pipe but i’m going to have to re do it for next year and the rice was the most expensive we have seen 👎🏻

[@paulpowell1259]

But you would only need the pad in sub zero. Tough full time as we are not so it’s always drained for winter. Stay warm guys. It’s going to be a proper cold week 😢
