Our Motorhomefun CL Aire featured on BBC Landward this week

[Cie]

️ Some exciting news!! ️
We are going to be on television this weekend!
We were contacted a few weeks ago by BBC Scotland’s Landward programme (a bit like a Scottish version of Countryfile if you’re not familiar with it) as they’d seen the YouTube video by Cameron McNeish of 2 new Moray Coast Aires, one of which is our Glenbuchty Stopover Motorhome Aire, Fraserburgh. They wanted to make a positive article about a new aire, the growth of such places in communities, village car parks, etc. and the reasons for the need for more Motorhome Aires in the UK, rather than the negative ‘dirty camper’ or new parking restrictions type stories often in the press.

Sadly Fraserburgh’s normal sunshine did not appear, and it was a wet and windy day, so we couldn’t spend much time outside in the stopover, but I did get to be interviewed by the lovely Dougie Vipond, in a sparkling campervan. I think I managed to get over some of the keys points as to why Aire style provisions are needed in the UK, and why campsites aren’t a one-stop solution, plus how CAMpRA is driving this forward. I know I’ll be cringing whilst watching this, but fingers crossed it will come over okay, please don’t judge if not

Thankfully Greg didn’t point out to me that Dougie is the drummer from Deacon Blue, or I think I would have been even more nervous and star struck. The crew were lovely and we had lots of laughs filming which helped reduce my nerves.

If you fancy watching it will be shown as follows:

Thursday 23rd – 2030 BBC Scotland
Friday 24th – 2030 BBC One Scotland
Sunday 26th – 0915 BBC Two (broadcast across the whole of the UK)
Monday 27th – 1930 BBC Scotland
It will also be available on iPlayer.

Hope you enjoy our 15 minutes of fame and if you’re heading up to Fraserburgh please do come and stop with us.
Cecilia & Greg

Thanks. They filmed quite a bit more than was shown but obviously edited and chose the parts that fitted best with their story and timings. Glad you feel it got the point over, thank you. Hopefully others will continue to open up other facilities.

Watched it on BBC iPlayer, thank you for the heads up Cie. I'm planning a long trip to include a visit to Shetland Woolweek, I'll say hello!

I do hope that many more people/landowners/charities with a strip of land will set up a similar site. This is the answer to enjoying being on the move while trying to minimise using big commercial sites.

If you come across any places that would be suitable, and the owners are interested, then do let them know about www.campra.org.uk as they can provide help on routes for planning or planning exemption, what’s needed for an aire, costs etc.
