The Reason

A complete metamorphosis of an unexpected small inheritance and a VW van.
In the memory of two spirits set free on a wild Welsh wind during the October of 2014.

Facts and figures

Scotland is huge! Trying to see all it's splendour would be like trying to count grains of sand or in this case coral.
It is also wild, this is me on Ranoch Moor a seemingly never ending landscape of sodden moorland between snow capped mountains.
It is steeped in a bloody history and I travelled past many battle sites, castles and landmarks. Progress is slow as there are so many things to see.
Distances look achievable but so often are not, even for me.





I effortlessly transported my humans and everything but the kitchen sink, I have one of those, 1300 miles.
I only used 3 tanks of fuel. I am so efficient with my gear changes.
I stayed at 5 different campsites, Millarochy Bay on the east side of Loch Lomond, Camusdarach Sands near Mallig, Kinloch at Dunvegan on Skye, Glencoe and Culzean Castle. All were very good.
Lowest temperature -4 Loch Lomand Highest 26 Culzean.
My awning was only used 6 nights as all other times it was too Windy at 55mph, even my pop top was not raised. I do not know why my humans made such a fuss, Locals on Skye said it was a breeze, they do not talk about it being windy until it is blowing at 80mph.
