  • Camping in the forest

    I arrived at the Glenmore Campsite today and found a nice spot in the forest. Just a few steps away from the Loch. The clouds around the mountain tops are clearing, giving way to the beautiful sunshine. The air is fresh, but the sun is a bliss. No further explanations necessary…

  • Walking Loch Ness

    After having some thoughts about my next legs this morning, I have decided to stay at the campsite Loch Ness Shores today. Getting here, to the southern shores of Loch Ness was an interesting drive with beautiful stunning views again. And I had a relaxing afternoon yesterday. The sun was starting to come out through…

  • Cosy afternoon

    Driving up into the clouds, the Highlands greated me with misty weather and some rain, parts of it were expected. I remembered the spots I stopped for a quick snapshot from three years ago. However, I also remember it being drier last time… the views were still stunning and my snapshots are not doing the…

  • Welcome to Scotland

    Yesterday, I had taken the morning ferry from Belfast to Cairnryan and had driven up to Glasgow. I went for a touring site a short train ride outside the city. After I had parked up and set up on the levellers for the first time, I took the train into the city for a quick…

  • Carrickfergus Castle

    This morning was bright and sunny. I took off early and have now arrived in Carrickfergus. Parked the camper on the car park next to the castle. Now I’m out to explore and wander around. The ferry to Scotland is booked for tomorrow morning.

  • Relaxing afternoon

    Today, I only took a short drive from Dungloe to the Mulroy Bay are. I made a few stops along the way. Just one snapshot from the first view point. The landscape, even on this overcast day, is fantastic at any place I stopped. After I arrived at the campsite I had a quick lunch…

  • Slieve League and Malin Beg

    After an early start today, I drove from the town of Donegal to Slieve League. I was early (and probably woke up the occupants of the two campervans parked at the bottom of the road). I parked up and made my way along the road. Had I known, that you’d be allowed to take the…

  • Donegal

    I woke up in Donegal on this friendly, but cold morning. Just three degrees outside. Last night I parked at the car park in the harbour where staying over night is generally tolerated by the council. At first I was a bit sceptical, but it was quiet enough and the lot emptied out over night.…

  • Another long trip and learning new things…

    After another long drive from Harwich I arrived in Wales last night. Traffic was heavy at times and I got stuck in traffic jams twice. However, the drive through Wales along the A5 towards Caernarfon was spectacular. And giving me a chance to get familiar with the dimensions of my vehicle in narrow winding roads.…
