I'm based in the Scottish Highlands and I use a VW campervan to access the great outdoors, where I climb hills, ride my e-bike or gravel bike and just visit some of those places I've never been to. I've been climbing hills and mountains all over the world for 50 years and I'm a former editor of Climber Magazine and The Great Outdoors Magazine.
Im new to your channel, As we are camper van pensioners and can’t afford these expensive sites your channel is great for promoting Aires and stopovers is just what is needed and so is the smaller sites , thankyou Chris
This is one of the most underrated areas of Scotland but in my opinion a hidden gem. I have been enchanted with it ever since we took a holiday house with another family probably about fifty years ago. I remember buying a knife with a sheath from the local shop with my holiday money something in this day and age that is not allowed. I camped around there the first weekend we were allowed too after the foot and mouth outbreak in the early 2000's and we were warmly welcomed I suppose people were glad to see tourists back. We have friends in fact the children of the other family that we holidayed with fifty years ago who have a holiday home near Moffat who let us stay when it is not booked or are using it themselves which is brilliant for canoeing, mountain biking and walking so my love affair with the area continues to this day.
We love Dumfries and Galloway and have been visiting since 1993, so much so that we are buying a cottage in Dalbeattie 👏👏
Great video Cameron, fond memories of The Steam Packet Inn.
Hi Cameron, My wife and I have stayed at the frog a few times. We found it friendly and the food good too. Stay healthy and many travels ahead.
Heading to the frog on Wednesday for one night b4 heading on up to Portavadie for the ferry to Tarbet Loch Fyne after five days in Lake District. Cheers Cameron for the great video once again. Look forward to more videos..
Love Dumfries and Galloway it’s a few years since we’ve been and after seeing your videos think we’ll go again this year. Thank you for the inspiration and I look forward to seeing your videos 😊😊
Great series! Always good to find new aires. The Green Frog looks like it's been smartened up, was looking a bit tired last time we were there.
Hi, I watched a Utube video a few months ago where a couple in their motor home were hassled by a local in his blue VW van delibetatly sounding his horn during the night to try and move them on. This was at Isle of Whithorn.
Great vid there’s some good walks in Dumfries &Galloway just spent the last few weekends up there in the van with a great walk up Criffel with its outstanding views over the Solway to Lakeland and last weekend a wander up Screel . A very campervan friendly area and it’s just up the road
I love D&G and really useful to know about these aires
Great info Cameron , about a lovely part of Scotland . Thanks very much.
What a perfect timing! I’m on my way from Glencoe to Newcastle to take the ferry back home to Germany. As I want to go and see Hadrian’s Wall on the way the Aire in Moffat is just what I was looking for. Thank you for that video, keep on with your work and all the best to you, Fiona
We ve done just that route cameron a few weeks back . Kicudbright . Isle of whithorn gallway forest . Gorgeous part of the world !
Great video Cameron, will pay them a visit sometime. We like the carpark in New England Bay just outside the Caravan &Motorhome site. There’s an Elsan point there, and you can get freshwater. We normally spend two nights there, then head to Port Logan and park up there for a night. The Port Logan Fish pond is well worth a visit. We then head down to the Mull of Galloway and enjoy the views.
We enjoy the walk from New England Bay to Dunmore, Scotlands most southerly town. But sadly Dumfries and Galloway put up no overnight parking signs in everyone of their car parks last year. Normally although these signs have no legal standing we don’t park there, but I have decided to make an exception of these carparks, and will continue to park there. Thanks for the video Cameron, and I sincerely hope you are feeling better now after the big op.
Cameron did you buy some moffat toffee
Ha ha, afraid not. At my age auld teeth and toffee are not compatible!
