Despite the Midgies in The Scottish Highlands....I really enjoyed this trip to the Northern Land's End, From Stoke on Tent all the way to John O Groats and Back. a trip that puts any campervan and any driver skills to the test. The music is Turkish, so if you dont like Turkish music, kill the volume and play your own music. 🤪
(Spot the Funsters ticker in the video....)

Roughly 1300 miles round trip, 9 days...The only cost was the fuel and food. Warning: the video is 43 minues long. make sure you have enough beer.

Not had time to view the video, we did the 500 last September. Hope you enjoyed as much as we did
 
Looks like you missed out on what I think are the best bits - the West coast, - Applecross , Arisaig etc. Still in 9 days, no time - we took 3 weeks.
 
As you said time was limited...will need to do i again next year....it makes a good execuse to head back up there again

Midges don't need to fold their wings or slow down getting through the normal fly nets :confused:
