lots of deer in that field there must have been about 50 of them away she goes
So anyway our plans today we're going to head towards Aviemore and we're going to meet a very
special guest who's going to come and stay with us until saturday that very special guest is
my mum so she is coming to join us on a wee bit of the trip it was also her 60th birthday last week
so she wants to come this is what she wanted of me just a wee trip so aye guys give her a
wee happy birthday down in the comments below and let's get driving towards Aviemore let's go
Come on Nessie come on Nessie you've got this come on girl let's go wohoooo
She goes slow up the hills like
Take your litter home
Need to find some petrol asap and I somehow don't think we're going to have a petrol station
up here so better have a look at the map and see where we can go let's go
Thought we weren't going to make it there but thankfully we did so my mum is not far behind us
so we're just going to fill up here and then we'll probably meet up with her somewhere in the next
few miles so let's get this paid for let's get this filled up and then let's go
Hello you miss me? - Hello, yes
There we go reunited with my mum gonna do a wee a couple days camping aren't we? - Yep
How many days? - Maybe one Maybe one day it depends how we get on
anyway we're going to go make some plans so let's go
So we're just heading to Aviemore just now it's a still 29 minute drive that's what it says on the google maps but in this car it's probably going to be close to
an hour so yeah I'm just following my mum to Aviemore and then we're gonna
make plans oh there's more beehives over there there's a lot of them more Heather honey beautiful
area like the scenery is just absolutely gorgeous to be driving on anyway let's get to Aviemore
Hello hello boys yes you saying hello you saying hello yes good girl good girl
So this is where we're going to camp tonight oh got a wee midge in my eye this is where we're going to come
tonight just at the side of the road here this is Loch Garten my mum is down here ready to go for a
swim already it's the first thing she's doing straight off in the water look how gorgeous this is though
Is that not just beautiful?
Ah it's fine - It'll be a big step Aye we'll just drop we'll be gone
So the water's clean but it's very red I don't know if you can see it
See I would rather it went deep fast because this is going to be worse for me
I can't do the whole going slowly one two three ohh ohhh ohhhhhh
Oh that's nice oh that's braw my mum she wears boots gloves wooly hat
So we're just going to enjoy a wee swim here and then we're going to go back take the dogs
and Nala a walk there seems to be a beautiful wee path just around there so probably just
take them along that wee bit there and see what it's like so aye we're a way to enjoy our swim
Oh the midges are out
C'mon then good girl big jump big jump
Absolutely gorgeous area but the midges are starting to come out in full force
If you don't know what a midge is it's just like a wee tiny fly it's absolutely tiny
and you just feel it nipping your skin and it's just horrible
I've got some midge spray back at the van so we're gonna head back there
There we go guys look at that for a view we're going to wake up to in the morning
Absolutely gorgeous but there's so many midges outside so we are staying in here for the day
The doors are locked curtains are closed and we're going to get the sleeping arrangement sorted now
Right guys let me show you the sleeping arrangements
My mum's bed's not made yet but she's going to be down there just pouring herself a vodka - I need it
and then I'm up a floor and I'm going to be sleeping on the top bunk but the problem with
the top bunk is the wood's pretty thin I'm a heavy guy so will we make it into the morning who knows
anyway we'll let you know how our night goes but good night and see you in the morning
Come on then come on good girl
Waaahhhhh goooood morning listen to that echo across the lake you coming well this is where we camped
last night look how gorgeous that is look how flat the water is there's my mum she's got her dry robe
on already getting ready to go for a swim we're just gonna take the dogs and Nala a wee walk just
around but is that not gorgeous but the one thing about this place and the one thing about
Scotland is the midges I don't even know if you can see them but there's just thousands of them
(Karate sounds)
Whaaa I hate them and my mum left the midge cream in her car last night and nobody wanted
to go out for it anyway let's go for a walk then let's go for a swim
Come on then
Good girl
Three two one woooahaaahooo
Ohhh it gets so much easier oh that's beautiful right so we've just been talking about our
plans today and we're gonna after we get out of the water we're gonna get some breakfast and
we're gonna drive up to Inverness Inverness is where the nc 500 starts so we're going to go through Inverness
we need to stop at a few shops first and then we're gonna head up to the black isle and there's a place
on that road where we're gonna hopefully find a place to camp and it's meant to be really
brilliant for dolphin spotting so we're gonna go and spend the night there but we're just
gonna enjoy this for a wee bit first because it's absolutely beautiful and we're the only ones here
and then aye then we're going to start driving so see you back in the car
Right guys that is us all packed up my mom is going to be following us in her car just because
she's got so much stuff and the dogs it would just add too much weight to this and we would probably
never be able to get up a hill first stop we're going to as pets at home in Inverness just to
get Nala some more food and a few more toys and then yeah then we're going to go to B&Q grab some
screws for this I need some screws for the chair at the back we're going to head up to where I was
saying before and find a nice place to camp for the night hopefully spot some dolphins so let's go
Just had to pull over quickly seen this gorgeous wee bridge I want to show you look at that
So I think that's called Carrbridge anyway back to the van
and continue our journey to Inverness let's go
- Hello Hello there
Which flavour shall we get chicken with extra salmon gonna give these a go
The bird flies like a bird and a propeller I'm going to try them
No she's fine with they 2 she likes them
So there we go guys that's us just a Carnac point I don't think we can camp here there's big signs
for no camping so we're just gonna have a wee walk around see if we can spot some dolphins
just gonna leave Nala in the car cause she normally sleeps in the afternoon anyway
it's a warm day it's actually pretty hot so we've got this wee fan on this wee fan by the
way saved my life when it was Covid had that on me all the time so aye that's just going to
keep her away breeze in the car but she'll just sleep up there so aye let's go have
a wee walk maybe a wee swim and let's see if we can spot any dolphins let's go
So this is the dolphin viewing point and as you can see it's pretty busy lots of people with big
cameras lots of seagulls we've spoke to a few people so far and they say they've seen quite a few seals
but no dolphins as of yet apparently a good time to see them is at low tide and it's high just now
low tide tonight is 10 past nine so I'm not sure be here but aye we'll see what we can see just now and go for a wee swim after
There we go so you can only stay here 4 hours so we're just gonna head away and find somewhere
to camp now it is half two we didn't see any dolphins but as I said you're best spotting them at low
tide and that's at ten past nine at night so we may come back depends how far away we go
Nala's just up here sleeping absolutely gorgeous but we did get to see a wee baby seal
which was cool that was just playing at the shoreline just eating just eating some small fish anyway
we've had a look at the map we're gonna try and find a wee camping spot near here so let's go
Right guys this is our campsite tonight it's beautiful right next to the beach
we've got loads of oil rig platforms over there they're not the nicest but
anyway it's not too bad but we're hoping to get in for a wee swim but there's red jellies
and they're the ones that stink all over the beach Nala's just diving into the grass
Anyway we're going to end this video here tomorrow morning we're going to be up nice and early
and there's a ferry that goes over there so we're going to continue the road trip around that way
but aye we're going to end this video here hope you've all
enjoyed it and see y'all in the next one stay safe
Go on then go on
