You have no idea how soothing it is to watch these videos. Life is extremely stressful at the moment so your trip has come at a good time for me! can't wait for the next installment xx

FLIPPING HECK ROS, I know you enjoyed your bike ride with Winston and it did look beautiful, but it also seemed like a really hard few days to,,,midges,,broken lens,,and more midges,,but at least it was raining for you,,Ps keep a check on those murderous tendencies ,,enjoy.

Incredibly informative vlog.

It really was not good to hear that the midges have been feasting on you Roz, and Winston didn’t look too impressed about being roused that early. I have to say, and I hope you don’t mind this, but when you go out on your bike with Winston in his chariot I start to get Wallace & Gromit vibes!😆😜🚲🐶

Superb video Roz with you and Winston ,you both are so inspiring and amazing thank you so much ❤

What a lovely girl & such a professional presentation. Not too much chat & like us, dislikes people en masse. Wonderful photography which is a treat for someone who is unable to walk far and never visit such places. Thank you Roz. You’re a star and gorgeous Winston is amazing

I have lots of mossies in my woods and use thermocell power bank bug repellant products works for me Scottish bugs are well hard tho 👌

Scotland and midges go together little buggers get everywhere love watching a happy dog xx go girl

We too have one of those trailers. My dog Bernadette lies down in it but much prefers running alongside. But at 13, we can’t let her do it for too long. We are fortunate to have mosquito nets integral to our campervan windows. A godsend recently on our trip to Eire.

* You have my complete sympathy having to endure being hunted by midges. I hate bugs and, for me personally, visiting Scotland, beautiful as it is, isn’t worth having to deal with them. * I love Winston’s “No” bark when you ask him to get in the trailer😂 * Weighing your muesli? Does it have to be that accurate?😂 Keep up the great vlogs, Roz.

Painted stone trails started during covid in the woods near here, it was rather sweet & life affirming. Long gone now though I think. Midges are a real pain, not safe cooking with no ventilation so hopefully all sorted. The flinty paths must be tough on bike tyres, Winston was so funny when you wanted him back in his trailer!

Loving your videos but wondered if as a succesful You Tuber Freedom Caravans or Swift Caravans (or other) couldn't give you an amazing deal on a new model as they do the lighter weight ranges? I feel you deserve one!

Nice + ... too bad about the accident with ur new camera though 🥰 I have the action 3, love it !

Midges attach themselves to dogs, they’re sneaky wee buggers. Buy some smidge spray it’s excellent.

new subby and great vids love this life and travels lovely winstone looked a bit like misswallace n gromit for a minute haha good luck safe travels

You really spoil that dog, he is a lucky fella. Steve

My comment seems to have been nuked☹️ how do we move on from here?😂

leave that area and find a better place with no midges, (horrible) thats just no fun. Cheers Steve

Sound was fine for me. Hope the zapper works.

Make sure you check yourself and Winston for ticks each evening…

Well done guys,despite the midges! Win,you’re the best and Roz,you’re ok too….Camxx💐

Lol! Yep you got to love the Midge situation in Scotland. Grab some duct/gaffer tape for your roof canvas. Handy to have for most emergencies.

That was a proper conversation with Winston.. he's brilliant 😂 Midges! Welcome to our life in Scotland 😅 Pray for wind.. it's the only thing that keeps them at bay (or go East.. they're a bit less troublesome there 🤞)

Really enjoying your vlogs Roz and so looking forward to your next adventure. Winston is a little star 😀

And these site owners keep good honest financial records. Like most cash businesses they need more regulation just a joke taking the michEl😊

Missed your videos for a few weeks so binging now. Good to see Glentrool on your itinerary. I try and get down to that site a couple times a year as there's just so many epic walks and cycle trails around the area. The guys that run it are very chill too.. it's a cracking site 👌 as always, thanks for sharing

What a fantastic opportunity and adventure. I have had travelling adventures in the past, and before departure have had doubts ? should I really be doing this ? is this a good idea ? But once you get underway that feeling is overtaken by excitement and anticipation ? I back packed across the USA aged 64 Greyhound and AMTRAK 3500 miles, I had an overwhelming feeling of taking on something too big for me alone ? but I did it, and had an amazing adventure all in 13 days ! You will look back at your adventure as some of your finest memories.

It was so lovely to see you walking down Glentrool kindness path. Thank you for featuring it and for all the lovely comments. 🥰

Winston is such a cutie in his goggles and sooooo well behaved he's a credit to you.......glad we didn't have a problem with midges when we went to Scotland but we did go in April to avoid them, however tics were another story!!!!!! Even with his treatment , William our Jack Russell was plagued with the little buggers....

Wonderful 😊 Roz, Thankyou, No midges in my part of South Australia, just flies in summer.

Hi Roz. Love following the vlogs. The thanks is for treats for Winston

Thanks!

Hello and good day to you both, Unfortunately I only got around to watching your video now. Yes, the mosquitoes or whatever they are can be annoying. When we were still camping, we also had an exterminator that killed the cattle, but you just can't catch them all, so we also have a small cordless vacuum cleaner and whenever we go Whatever we saw, we soaked it up. Great video, very nice with the painted stones. If the brakes on your bike are squeaking, it's usually the brake pads (pads) that have become hard and maybe even a bit dirty. Clean them with a little detergent and water with a brush, sponge or cloth. You can also try cleaning the surface of the blocks a little Let's rough it up with some sandpaper or install new ones. Just never put oil on it then you will no longer have any braking effect. Greetings Oldie 👍

What an amazing vlog! Hate midges with a passion and it's my one thing about vanlife in Scotland. To see Winston enjoying himself was an absolute pleasure and the Peace Trail was beautiful! The painted stones were incredible and you showed stones from Ken and Carol, "Life is too Short " who we also follow. Hope the camera was not badly damaged. Stay safe Sid and Nicola, Rugby UK

We did the nc500 in May this year visiting many of the places you recommended. We returned on May 19th from Kinlochewe and the midges began rising on the last couple of days! I had taken a usb “plug in” heater with mozzy killer pads but was nervous leaving it plugged in when out in case of fire - and the thought of using it when I was in the caravan and sitting in an atmosphere that kills insects wasn’t appealing - tricky!

If you won the battles with the midges let me know please. After many trips to Scotland I never go this time of year.

Sound was fine 👍. A couple who live in Glentrool called Jayne & Nick created the trail. We were struck with how peaceful it was. We will let Jayne know that you showed the walk. She may well create stones for you. Luckily for us we were there pre-midges 😁 ❤️👍. Enjoyed the video. 👍

Hi Rox, I’ve never experienced midges. I’ve heard citronella and Midge-repelling plants: certain plants repel midges: basil, lavender, elderflower and mint. You should get some for your caravan and van. 🤪horrible things, like mosquitoes.

Total Midgemare!!! You poor girl. No wonder my ol' man was so much of a git!!! He was a Scot. Musta been effected by them!! Seriously though, Such a nice video. Again, plenty of awesome scenery (Feel like "Awesome" is overused!). Another relaxed day to look forward to after watching this. BTW; Wins looks wicked in his new visor. 😁 Thanks Roz.

Midges and wet pants.. an awesome combination 😂 lovely video 👍🏻 enjoying your journey so far ❤

still watching vid. what are your window fly screens for if you cant open the windows. ??

just watched all vid. youve got fly screens already? hmm. how the critters getting in?

Winston with Goggles on and ears flapping brilliant😂

gecko.

p.s. no glue on nano tape. uses geko lizard foot technology.

find a shop and get net curtain material scissors and a roll of nano tape. make custom window and door flyscreens. super cheap and no more midges .

Loving your new adventure, except the midges 😮
