What REALLY happens On A Campervan HOLIDAY? | The REALITY | Winter Adventure In The Cairngorms

#travelvlog #vanlifevlog #scotland
In this episode we are staying in our East Neuk Campervan at one of favourite caravan sites in Scotland, Dalraddy Holiday Park, on the Alvie Estate near to Aviemore. It's January and the winter in the scottish highlands is starting to show itself with very cold temperatures and snow & ice. I am still unwell with a cold, so we have a cosy day in our motorhome, enjoying some wonderful takeaway street food, that is sold on the campsite. Charlie our english cocker spaniel, enjoys a cosy day in the van sleeping, after a long walk along the speyside way, which you get direct access to, when staying at this campsite. You can walk or cycle the 84 miles of the trail which part of it is shared with the highland train line, which sweeps through some outstanding scenery. We do a bit of train spotting on this trip. We also immerse ourselves in nature on our woodland pitch and watch the red squirrels and lots of different birds and wildlife come to eat. We tell you about the discounts you can get from shops with the Caravan & Motorhome Club & camping & caravan club memberships.

This campervan allows us the freedom of travelling in all seasons, we actually do most of our travelling in the Autumn/Winter as I have lupus disease | SLE | We stay on campsites & caravan touring parks, Aires & wild camp out in nature. We like to walk | hike with our cocker spaniel dog "Charlie" taking in breathtaking scenery of the countryside and the coast. There is something so magical about driving through the mountains and tourist areas in a campervan. Buying local produce to take back and cook in the campervan, or stopping at an independent shop for coffee and cake helping to support the local economy.

Hi Dave & Sue, aww thank you so much, I’ll tell Mr Charlie he’s the star ⭐️ of the show 😂 It’s funny how you become unsure of your own stability as you get older, although tbh, it’s with good reason for me 🤣 Will check them out, thanks, we are well but very busy atm! Hard work keeping on top of everything atm ☺️ Hope you’re both well. Em 💜

It's strange sitting here in a heatwave watching videos of snow. I notice that Charlie didn't stay sitting for long after the biscuits were finished.

[@vansforthememories]

Hi Tony, hope you’re well 😃 Yes, we thought we’d subliminally cool you down, cos we’re kind like that 🤣😇 Oh Charlie is such a user ☺️😂 Thanks for watching, Em 💜

[@tonysutton6559]

@@vansforthememories I'm itching all over because I was talked out of going to Scotland "because of the midges" so we went to Monmouth instead and I became the main course for the Welsh Midges.

Lovely vlog Em and Gary - the bird is a buzzard - often hear them calling before seeing them! Charlie is so funny - spaniels are so mischievous-mine is a right terror 😂
