  • Join us as for a winter adventure, as we take our campervan to Scotland, where we experience the peace and power of nature in the Cairngorms National park. We drive along winding snowy roads and show you why we think Scotland, in any weather and any season, is the perfect place to travel in a Campervan.
    If you're new round here we're Jack and Jo, that's our scruffy hitchhiker Frank, and this is our home on wheels Big P, which is taking us to wild places and wild adventures all over the UK and Europe

    I enjoyed this so much. Loch Tay and north are some of my favorite places, but I’ve never been lucky enough to visit in winter. I’m moving on to your next video. Thank you for the time you take to make these.

      So beautiful! It's definitely a different experience up here in winter, less time/not the best weather to hike, but when you do get some crisp blue days, it's so special as its so quiet. Thanks for watching and the kind comments :)!

    Lovely video. I'm so jealous of your trip to Scotland in the winter... We went to the Cairngorms in our sprinter last year and loved it. keep the videos coming for those of us stuck in an office all week! Happy travels.

    We travelled the North East 250 between Christmas and New Year. Celebrating Hogmany at Granton on Spey. Simply beautiful scenary along the Snow roads to the isolated coves on the north coast. Can’t wait till our next Scottish trip in Spring. Hope you guys are having an awesome adventure.

    Don't know why, but I've never really explored the Cairngorms. I'll have to fix that!
    Looking forward to your next one as I've spent loads of time in the far north. Love it up there.
    Also, if you can just do a video of Frank running up and down, I could watch that all day! 😍🤣

    • @TheseWildJourneys
      @TheseWildJourneys  Před 4 měsíci

      Definitely go to the Cairngorms - it's proper beautiful, and a hikers paradise! Although the north coast was equally as beautiful, although you'll see in the next video - we had some interesting weather conditions to contend with! (Frank montage in more snow on its way!)
