- We are now at the very top of mainland Scotland and visit the dramatic coastline with sea stacks and lighthouses. We also visit John O Groats but our journey is interrupted as we head to Inverness to have our windscreen replaced....or so we think.
We've been to Dunnet Bay before but never explored the forest. Thanks to you, we did this time and it was lovely. Thanks again..
Hi Martin, sorry for the delay in replying. Hope you found the giant xylophone and had a go.
Loved this journey.. We drove up that way a couple of years ago. Nice to see it all again. Thanks. 🙂.. Happy journeys to you both. Doggy too ofcourse.... 😁
You both know how to make the best of everything and fun too. Love your playful spirits.❤️ 1/23/22
Thanks Jan, we do like to have a bit of fun on our tours 😄
Love these vids! Keira is the best! I think by far this is the best Xylophone playing I've heard in a long time!
Cheers Ewan I think mine was best and Trish copied🤣

Really enjoying your adventures. 🏴👍
Thanks so much for watching 👀 ☺
Really enjoyed your Vlog. Will catch up with more later. Great commentary and information 👍🏻😃 Trev
Cheers Trev, we are home now but a few more to post👍
So good seeing Keira loving life. Great film as always.
Thanks Alan she loves it in the woods. Hope you enjoyed Stonehaven and maybe tucked into a deep fried Mars bar
Superb work. Like and support from friend in Edinburgh ❤️👍
Thanks for your comments, so glad you liked it👍
Love following you guys. Great vlogs . Keira is adorable .stay safe.x
Thanks Sandy, we are back home and restrictions mean we can't travel outside our area, so yes staying safe, you too!
I think Keira had the stick so she could play the xylophone.
John o Groats is so much nicer than Lands End......and free.
Another nice coffee shop there too.
The sea stacks are great to see aren't they?
A great video as always.
Thanks guys, we really enjoyed this part of the trip, remote but beautiful, and more to see and do than I expected.
Greetings from Poland.
There's so much to comment about. This video was supeb. Wonderful shots, great commentary and so many historical facts. I think the three of you had a great time.
Dunnet Head - the most northest point of Britain. What views across to Orkney. Sorry about the windscreen not being fitted. I just hope it doesn;t crack further. The forestry trail was very interesting. I loved the animal and bird scultures, formed from tree trunks. A wooden xylaphone - what fun. I think Keira prefered her stick rather than having to listen to your playing.
John O Groats - great photo of the three of you. You put a sticker on the board. Are they available for us?
The lighthouse and sea stacks were facinating. Thanks for all the info about them.
Next stop is Inver Caravan Park? See you again soon
Thanks Michael, we enjoyed visiting all these stops along the top of Scotland, the lighthouses were great to see and the different designs in the construction. Keira definitely used the stick as a distraction to out playing. Happy to send you a few stickers if we can find them, if you send us your address by email to weebroonvan@gmail.com
Looks like a great place to visit, weather not too bad either!
Yes it sure was, and we got a good day for these trips for a change!
Great video 📹 👍. The log cabin was impressive 🐶🐾🐾🐶👍
Thanks Chris, would've been more impressive if it had sold beer🤣
Excellent, as always
Cheers Arnold, thanks for the feedback 👍
Thanks again guys, great job and thanks for sharing. Take care and stay safe.
Very interesting 👍love the way the weather doesn’t stop you guys 🌧😀
Thanks Peter, never too wet for Mr & Mrs Waterproof!
😅😅😅😅😅 sounded like an old school slide show😂
Great episode ..... loved the musical interlude on the wooden xylophone - Britain’s got talent bound
Thanks Stew, I think Trish copied my tune but I still reckon mine was best🤣
Loved this video, thankyou. We were up there last week and you have added a lot of detail to a trip that we loved. Excellent filming, info and music. Enjoyed the short food snippets too. Liz
Hi Liz, you must have had a lot of rain there last week, we were on our way down the east coast and it was pouring Glad you liked the video, thanks for your comments👍
What a beautiful yet desolate part of your country. Thanks for taking us on your journey! Look forward to the next video
Thanks Marie, it can be very bleak at times and extremely windy, we were quite lucky on the day we filmed.
Enjoyable episode despite the weather. Shame they couldn’t fit the new glass. Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks Ken & Carol, they were short staffed due to covid so couldn't really complain despite the long wasted drive.
Brilliant vlog guys 👍👍😎
Cheers mate👍
Last time you scoffed all the sausages and this time a measly slice of pizza... 🍕🤔
Looked good but it's almost always a windy and wet location..
I know, I had the whole pizza and was still hungry but its all they had.
Hi
Your channel looks good,
I’ve come over from Bob Earnshaw.
Hi Thomas, thanks for joining we just missed Bob at Culloden site but we both visited the Battlefield, cairns and viaduct.
@@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot
That’s a shame you missed Bob & Jenny,
They’re so interesting people.
@@Tom-852 yes, we met them at the Scottish motorhome show at start of the year, lovely couple.
John o’grouts was founded by jan de groot from Holland
Thanks Hans, so that's where the name came from👍
Tip for Pizza that i saw on Vancity vanlife which should work on you ridge monkey is to heat the top pan really hot and then place the pizza on the bottom plate so gets heat from both side at same time without the mess from flipping :)
Thanks, that's a great tip, didn't think of that, will definitely remember that one👍
@@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot suggest watching vancity van life and living the van life utube channels, both wild campers in america but have great ideas and tips
@@ghost70 thanks, I watch LTVL but not seen the other one so will check that out.
When were you at John o groats I was there on Friday 23rd wasn’t as busy then.
I suppose time of day and weather make a difference, hope you enjoyed your day out as much as we did.
Do you use the toilet in your van?
I would love a van similar to yours but just wanted to ask you a question.
Ps: last question I think!
Do you have any stickers available?
On trips like this at campsites we use the loos on site, but if wild camping then we have a porta loo that fits in a cupboard.
Sure, if you send us your address to weebroonvan@gmail.com 👍
@@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot
That’s sound like a great idea.
I’ve just emailed you.
Thanks so much. 😊
