Thought I'd post them on here so everyone can use them if they wanted to.

The 1st night

I parked behind the co-op in Golspie, free parking, public toilets (make sure you have some 50p's as it doesn't give change) and the co-op right near in case you need to buy any last minute provisions.

coordinates for here are 57.973801, -3.975153

2nd Night

I parked up on a lovely bit of grass just off the road with amazing views from the van.

coordinates for here are 58°31'54.9"N 4°47'27.7"W

3rd Night

This was the place where I filmed the time lapse video of the sunrise, if you get up early enough its amazing to watch the sun come up here, lovely little wild camping spot.

coordinates for here are 57°32'09.8"N 5°42'06.9"W

4th Night

This is off the course of the NC500 down on Skye, but it's an amazing little wild camping spot, plenty of wildlife about.

coordinates for here are 57°07'55.0"N 5°58'19.1"W

I will echo what JC1 has said, I love wild camping, aside from the cheapness of it you get to choose your view, my Mrs would consider it for one night max and then it's back to campsites so I can only do it on my own.

Thanks for posting all this - nice video.
Really interested for a couple of reasons.: i fancy doing the Scotland trip or a variation of it up the western Isles, and I've been thinking about changing my bus - currently all white 2003 T4- to a green and white split colour scheme plus pop up roof like yours, Simmo.
Like the idea of solar panels too.
As well as yours, and a few others, there's a green and white split colour T4 on Pinterest which I keep seeing, reg is F9 JDB.
Is that anyone's on here ?
Or does anyone know that van please

 

[simmo1977]

I've considered solar panels a couple of times, not sure how you would get on fitting them to the poptop though?

 

[veedubadub]

Check out that T4 on Pinterest I mentioned, F9 JDB.
It has solar panels - 2 - on a pop top so it looks as if it can be done

Don't think I would have been up and dressed nearly as early without the Eber.

 

[Fraseb01]

defo on my list but need a few Sunday double bubble shifts to pay for it lol

 

[Fraseb01]

Out of curiosity, any body know who can supply and fit a heater around the Fife area? might start looking into this T:

 

[jc1]

Frase, if we ever sort this meet out at SQ then you can check my Chinese heater out. Works perfectly £150 and Hoovie on here sorted me out with the fit. The best mod ever, bus now used all year round....:ILU:T:

 

[Fraseb01]

Sound like a good idea, was checking out those heaters , defo worth a punt at that price, will drop Hoovie a message see if he is available .would make so much difference lol.
