We live in Galloway (just 30 mins south of Glentrool) and often find it difficult to leave!!! Ha ha. Such a beautiful, largely forgotten/ignored/undiscovered part of the UK.
Such a beautiful part of Scotland, as you say, most people head straight away towards Glencoe way and the highlands and miss this beauty undiscovered part of Scotland!
At some point in your journey around Scotland, try Pitlochry, such a lovely place with lovely people. We park up at Black Sprout for easy access to the woods for walking the dogs. Safe travels to you both
Good vlog again Rob, looking forward to your Scottish winter. Would love to do it myself but if the weather got a bit harsh mine is a motorhome so wouldn't cope as well as a van ;) One day I might buy a van... you never know. Take care matey!
Hey mate, Im sure your motorhome would be fine! Yeah we are looking forward to this winter for sure, loving the change in colours and temperatures over the past few weeks!
Sorry, I was hoping to catch you on Galloway hills to say hi, maybe next time. I needed some more work (diy) on van even though it just spent 14 weeks in garage. I have also bought an all-in-one diesel heater so as soon as it in I will get up the hills, it didn't come with plate for bottom so hubby going to make one just for safety. I live in Port William, I like to park up near Murray's monument. Love the videos, will look up lilla hus. take care. Michelle
Yeah you def need a diesel turret for mounting the heater to the van, makes life so much easier! I'll be around for a while mate, so hopefully see you soon!
Brilliant one Rob. That castle is my 1st place to visit in D&G. Love the shape of it, Hope you get the chance to visit Grey Mares Tail near the Wild Goat Park just down from Clatteringshaws. Plenty of good parkups in D&G. Have a wonderful time exploring especially with that fabulous pair & Oliver 🐈 Safe Travels Mate
That castle and park up is the perfect first stop over on your way into Scotland mate! Moving on from Galloway soon and starting to head around the coast to Ayr as I have my ferry booked for the Isle of Arran! Wish me luck that we don't meet an iceberg on the crossing! 😂😂
@@PackTheVanAndGo haha great one. There's a lovely forest drive near tairlaw forest and loch brandan with great parking. Have a brilliant time exploring up though Scotland and a bit of island hopping. Watch out for the iceberg lettuce floating past 😂😂
@@LillaHusVanlife have a fantastic adventure. Can't think of a better place to be exploring. Plan to be up there up and around Christmas and New Year myself. Like you, love a bit of cold haha. Love and Hugs Both
You said your heading to explore the islands Rob, Arran is definitely worth a visit …and from the west side you can ferry hop onto the Kintyre peninsular. From the West Coast (Ardrossan)you can leave the west coast for Arran
@@PackTheVanAndGo awesome ….I if you head to Lochranza and drive just past the ferry terminal (small terminal takes you to Clanoaig ) …there is a place called Sailor Grave a good place to park …public toilet and water fill a 10 min walk….ferry terminal waiting room all 24/7 good for charging phones etc …there are lots more spots to stop if you head round the west side …. My friend has a craft shop/candle making workshop in Lochranza …he first arrived in Arran in the 60’s a young Londoner in his VW campervan ….it’s a great shore walk and definitely worth a visit
@@PackTheVanAndGo if you arrive the day before for your ferry Largs Marina has campervan parking (free) plus they have paid EHU…..it’s great chill and explore before heading ….I’m in West Kilbride …it’s our stomping ground
The car park where you met up looked incredibly muddy but in the next part, glorious green and fine. Such a contrast to Scotland, love it. All laundrettes will be card payment when they replace the machines for new ones, as the coin slots won't be able to take the £50 worth per wash the way things are going.
The sun can make a lot of difference in a few hours in Scotland! Doubt the machines will be changed over for a while from cash to cards, although it would help!
Don't know if it's too late in your travels, but have you been down the Wigtown peninsula? Don't know either if it's van-friendly, but there's some beautiful coastline down there (Monreith, Isle of Whithorn etc). Used to go there every summer when I was a kid.
Hey, yeah we have just ben down to Isle of Whithorn and managed to park up at the harbor for the night... stunning location and drives around the coast!
Brilliant watch mate, thankya ever so much for the high praise. We're so looking forward to the Tour De Scotland with you and Archie and can't wait to see what the Winter brings.. Much love from the Purple House 💜🐈💜
Hi Rob, Can you tell me the name of the company that you got your rear door thermal screen cover from please. Also have you ever thought of a spray job to make your van more stealth ?
Cheers for this. I'll keep watching your videos and when your getting near where I stay on the West Coast I'll drop you a message with some parks up's and maybe catch up for a beer.

Got to love looking back at the van on a cold dark evening with the warm glow from the lights inside, that it one word “freedom”
Freedom every single day is what I see!
Nice to see you travelling with Phil and Karen...quality couple 😍💜

I've just realised that I've got loads of photos of that castle 😂🤣😂🤣
It’s a great castle, it’s one thing I want to do, is see ore castles on my travels around Scotland
@@PackTheVanAndGo There's thousands of them. 3 years later and we are still visiting new castles 😂
Perfect, give some plenty to see and do

You’re more than welcome guys, can not say what I see! But you do owe me that money for asking me to say what you wanted me to say 😂😂😂
@@PackTheVanAndGo 😂🤣😂🤣😂😁👍
Hi Rob, Can you tell me the name of the company that you got your rear door thermal screen cover from please. Also have you ever thought of a spray job to make your van more stealth ?
Yeah the company is called Webbnet Flyscreens and they are based in Preston mate! Yeah been thinking of painting the van a grey colour one day!
Cheers for this. I'll keep watching your videos and when your getting near where I stay on the West Coast I'll drop you a message with some parks up's and maybe catch up for a beer.
