Scotland Road Trip in a Mazda Bongo

Here's a quick video what we got up to in Scotland. We had to change the course of the original trip due to the weather, but we didn't mind as got to visit Edinburgh which was a highlight of the trip.
There's so much to explore in Scotland that I'll definitely go back as this was just a little flavour of what is up there.

Just found your channel Loving the upgrades your making to the van. I've been toying with the idea of getting a bongo for years, watching your vlogs is edging me closer to getting one. Keep up the great work looking forward to the next video Thank you👍

Aviemore, my old stamping ground.... Plenty of hiding places to a wee Stealth camp lol ...

[@VantasticIdeas]

It was lovely around that area, I'm very jealous if that is on your doorstep! I'll definitely go back to explore more in the Bongo. Cheer!

Scotland looks amazing and being originally from Northern Ireland I don't mind the weather but Wales will hopefully be my next explore. I did notice that on the left hand top of your dash , just by the windscreen, you have a little black square device. Mine also has that, have you any idea what it is? I've just waxoyled the sills and chassis sections on mine, I really want to get a few more years out of it. It was really good underneath apart from one place mid sill that needs a little patch, I was well pleased. I've done the underside with Tectyl wax every year since I bought it and it has preserved the old van. I also discovered a magnetic box attached to the sill which has something inside, tracking device maybe?? Anyway, thanks for sharing your trip.

[@VantasticIdeas]

So much to explore, like Wales its spectacularly beautiful. I think my little black box is an antennae for an old radio. You remind me that I need to redo the waxoyl on the underneath of mine! sounds like yours if doing well with the regular maintenance! cheers!

Great video,did you manage to fill up on lpg ok

[@VantasticIdeas]

Yes, I managed most of the trip on LPG, going to be talking about this in the next video I think. cheers!

Hi , Great channel. I just bought a bongo and I have a host of questions ... is youtube the only channel ur on ?

[@VantasticIdeas]

Thank you!! I am on Instagram as well, but I am pretty hopeless at keeping content updated on there (I really should get on that!!!). Sometimes the best place to ask questions is on the Mazda Bongo Owners group on Facebook as there are a lot of knowledgeable people on there (they know more than I do for sure). Also you can ask questions on my comments if you like and I'll do my best to reply! Cheers 👍

@@VantasticIdeas thx !

How far did you drive to get to Scotland?

[@VantasticIdeas]

About 300 miles I think. Such a lovely place, I need to get back soon 😁
