Glasgow City Centre

Two nights campervanning in Glasgow city centre primarily to visit the Campervan trade show at the SEC but we also wandered the Gallery of Modern Art, the Kelvingrove Museum, the Modernist app's Glasgow West End tour and the Tenement House.

Paradiski 2026

Two fantastic days in Les Arcs and La Plagne with far less snow than normal but pistes in absolutely perfect hard and fast condition. Lovely sunshine, albeit extremely cold temperatures which took some managing. Unfortunately it all ended prematurely with an innocuous slow speed slip at the very end of the long run down into the village resulting in a torn calf muscle when the ski tip dug in. James, therefore, had to head out into the snowy conditions on the last day alone.

Lake District New Year

A last minute jolly to the Lake District for New Year in the van. It was to be cold and windy but not as cold and windy as any Scottish mountain we could find.

Red

We used another city centre campervan overnighter to visit the "Alfred Buckham - Daredevil (Aerial) Photographer" exhibition in the National Portrait Gallery. The exhibition was excellent with his stories and anecdotes as entertaining as the aerial photography itself. After that, but before a refreshment and a bite, we wandered the city for a while and it quickly became evident that "red" would be the theme. It happened to be the day between Remembrance Sunday and Remembrance Day and the city was illuminated in red. A decent autumn sunset added yet more.

Pubs, Walks and Waterfalls

We took a weekend van tour in Yorkshire and turned it into an unexpected four-nighter dictated by the weather back home. With iffy weather and no real plan, we seemed oddly attracted to pubs and waterfalls; an unlikely combination but one that worked well. There was a little bit of walking in between, passing a waterfall or two, on route to the pub, usually! The final tally was six pubs, all featuring here, and definitely more than six waterfalls. Special mention should go to railway themed Ribblehead with its viaduct and its Station Inn, both excelling in what they do. The weather was bleak up there, but wow, what a place.

The Hill House

We visited Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s masterpiece in Helensburgh and unexpectedly felt parallels with its story of commissioning a renowned architect and great personal friend to design a domestic house. Sadly though, desperate attempts are now having to be made to save the building from a complete deterioration due to the fatal mistake in Mackintosh’s choice of external render. Unlike our architect his genius was flawed!!

The Wee Hebrides

We pointed the van at the west coast for a short break, the length of which was uncertain for reasons I'll not bore the reader with. The weather forecast was a bit uncertain too, though that all turned out pretty well in the end. We visited the small islands of Kererra, Seil and Luing, as well as exploring around Crinan and down the long peninsula to Tayvallich and Carsaig. All camp spots were off-grid and all, even including the last one near Helensburgh, were superb. Along the way we took in the heritage museum at Kilmartin and the outstanding Mackintosh Hill House at Helensburgh - see separate blog for that: graemeritchie.com/The-Hill-House

City Centre Campervanning

Making the most of the van and the city to have a wander and a bite to eat while searching for Murphies, all the while being perfectly positioned for hospital visiting in the morning.

Partially Sunny Dunny

A wander from East Links to Dunbar Harbour and back, unexpectedly bumping into Bob Street and his dog, with a good drenching just before we got back to the van.
