The NC500, the route around the Scottish Highlands in the U.K. This, we have decided will be our first real road trip in Little Blue. It's a biggy and it's going to be AWESOME!
I love Scotland and it has long been a dream of mine to travel this phenominal route in my own camper...now i'm actually planning it...so exciting!
Despite being a spontaneous creature; stringent planning and strict itineraries are NOT in my nature, even I know the importance of understanding the lay of the land, especially when travelling long distances in extremely remote areas.
So much to consider, including:
Efficient use of van space
Storing sufficient food and water on board
Researching routes
Refuelllng stops
Available campsites
Rules on wild camping
Places of interest
Wish list of what we want to see
Knowing where to stock up on supplies along the way
What to expect weather wise
Required clothing and footwear
Do we take the awning?
Necessary extras i.e: battery powered lighting, back up cooking facilities, portable chargers
Joe, our eldest son has decided to join the journey with us and i'm so looking forward to his easy company. He'll be a great addition on the trip and he's as excited as Chris and I... so then there were three!
Follow our process as we prepare.
