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.

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 ?

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.

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.

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

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.
@CamperCameraGo5 жыл бұрын
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.

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
