Andrew, we love you, support your decisions. You must do what is best for you, your health both physical and mental in addition to your family. We will enthusiastically enjoy any and all content that you choose to post.

You’ll never be a failure Mr D, we’ve enjoyed your content over the years and you know what my favourite was always your early stuff when you went to the Scottish Island’s, when Dougle was younger and it’s nice to think you’ll be able to do that again. No agenda, just doing what you want to do, when you want to do it. Good luck with you new job, hope you and your family have a lovely Christmas and a wonderful new year 😊

Admire your values Andrew and your commitment to sticking to your principles. Great to know you are settled and happy. Thank you for updating your followers and we look forward to any vlogs in the future. Stay, happy and content. Enjoy riding the bike 🏍️. From Sheila & Gavin ❤

Andrew, over the few years I've been following you I've come to truly enjoy your company. I, for one, will keep the subscribe button on and welcome any little update you feel like offering. It's nice to know how life is treating one's friends, and I consider you a friend. Best to you and the pups.

Thank you Andrew! Appreciate the update and sending best wishes! Sometimes a change is NEEDED, the only constant in the world is change. We, I, look forward to learning what your next adventure, whatever it is, may be. You are AWESOME! 🥰

Good evening Andrew / Dougal & Ted….we don’t care how often you may post on YT, but always love how honest you are…and as a fellow JRT owner…..it’s the little guys that bring so much joy, along with you’re love for them both..👍🇮🇲💖🐶 ps….all the very best in your new job….👌

We will miss you, but happy to hear that your life is less stressful and you have a new job that you like. I will stay a follower on your channel because I like to hear from you from time to time and know everything is well with you and the dogs.

Good luck with the job, we where only saying this afternoon that we hadn't seen anything from you for while. Thanks for the update and thanks for the past 7 years.

Well, Andrew, it’s just lovely to hear from you, no matter what. As long as you keep adorable dog content coming! Best wishes for the new job and future home. Cheers!

Very good luck for the future Andrew, and thank you for all the work you've put into your terrific channel. Best wishes, Mark.

Your integrity and humour is what makes your channel so awesome. Make videos when you feel like it. I've never seen a video of yours that didn't make me smile, laugh or cry, and i've seen every video you've posted on this channel. Be safe and happy Andrew and thank you for making my day every time you post a video.

Andrew, you're a gentleman of true honour and integrity. My very biggest thanks to you for all your output over the years. I look forward to watching and learning about the next chapter of your life. Best wishes to you and the boys ❤

All the very best for your next adventure. Always great videos but understandable when you recognise you’ve reached the impasse. Main thing is to be true to yourself & your lovely fur pals Dougal & Ted. Take care 🏍️🌻😉 Lynda

Your integrity will carry you through to new experiences Andrew 😊

Andrew, you are doing the right thing, there is life after You Tube. Always nice to hear from you, stay safe and best wishes for the next chapter

Thank you for the wonderful videos you have produced over the years. You have shown me good quality videos of places I will probably never see in person. And I appreciate your honesty and integrity. Finally, I cannot walk past a mirror when visiting a motorhome or caravan without saying 'helloooo' to the reflection. Your influence spreads as far as Australia. Regards Ray

I’m glad everything is working out for you Andrew. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos 😊

Thank you for the update, Andrew. Those of us who have enjoyed your content for several years will be grateful for the opportunity to look back through the ‘archives’ and continue enjoying some of your classic videos, such as the Five Ferry Challenge - a particular favourite. I wish you well with the new chapter and look forward to watching further videos in due course.

Andrew thank you for the many hours of pleasure you have brought to me. I simply love what you stand for. I wish you all the very best on the next chapter.

As a long time viewer and subscriber, I can't say I won't miss your regular videos, as I've always found them to be such fun, unmissable viewing and have loved following your adventures. However, I am so pleased you are happy and starting this new chapter. Best wishes and good luck, have a lovely Christmas and New Year x

Hi Andrew, so glad for the update. I’m delighted that you are happy and have a job you love. It’s quite the change, going from self employed. But needs must and I hope you are as happy as you seem. You will never regret being there for your mum and brother. It’s not all sunshine and roses I’m sure. The dogs look happy, all they need is love, aren’t they lucky? Will you still do your newsletter? I almost replied to your last one but then doubted myself, thinking you wouldn’t want some random person emailing you 🤣. Kent is beautiful so if you had to leave Uist it’s a decent substitute. That’s a long commute so don’t forget your own self care. Best wishes of the season my friend. You are a very special guy - love, Isabel. 🇨🇦

Thanks for putting this video up! I was beginning to worry- I know that your viewers shouldn’t but I hoped you were settled in Kent & had found something you liked job wise. Good luck in all you do! glad you have found biking & that the boys are happy. It wasn’t at all strange to them to be in Kent. Don’t worry re uploading things- get yourself sorted first. That all takes time. How are your migraines? Hope they are getting better. Take care!

So glad you are ok Andrew. Was only the other day thinking ‘not heard from Andrew in a while’. You have friends you have never met- although I did bump into you at the NEC a year ago and we had a brief chat. I’ve loved your videos and will continue to subscribe. You are always a breath of fresh air. I’m so glad you are staying true to yourself, and the change is doing you good. You always have an interesting and thoughtful perspective on many things, and make beautiful videos so I’d watch your ‘for fun’ videos on anything! Good luck with the rest of the training. Sarah

Hi Andrew. This is my 1st ever Utube comment. I have a caravan and benefited from watching your clips. You have a wonderful voice, it's clear and precise. You have taken a step back. Good on you. You only have one life, so enjoy it while you can. Take care. Catch you sometime.....

I lift my hat (or woolly beanie here in snowy Finland) for your honesty and values. But I will still keep an eye out on your updates as I so enjoy watching what you and the dogs are up to. Have a lovely Christmas time and see you next year🎉

I thought of you last week while cycling behind the Mutt motorcycles place at Kings Norton. You were the driving force behind me actually getting my campervan and going to Scotland so many times that have provided so many memories. I thank you for that Andrew. Good luck in your new life, and yes do pop on for a wee natter now and again. Edited to add I bought a 3 man tent so hope to resume touring again, perhaps actually getting over to the Outer Heberedies at some point.

Hi Andrew! Thank goodness you're alright, was a little worried there!! I had a feeling last time that your life was taking a different path but I'm so pleased to hear that you're ok and life is very good for you at the moment! Great you have a new career, you obviously enjoy it, can't wait to find out what it is! We have all enjoyed joining you on your journey for the past few years. You weren't just good at it, you were brilliant!! you have inspired so many especially me! Thank you for all your hard work and commitment to everything you do! You're an absolute star in my eyes, take care of you, family and not forgetting the boys!! Dougal & Ted, bless them. Have a good Christmas & New Year and I look forward to seeing what you get up to next!! I'm wittering on a bit but I want to say so much!! Love and hugs xxx 🥰😘🐶🐕🦮

Hi, lovely to see you, I've missed you, Dougal and Ted, I totally understand why you have decided not to create content and value your honesty . It's true those making a living from it do push products as influencers , I like it when they show daily life without promoting products in every sentence. I hope you will post here occasionally with your little family and updates, I love to watch and it gives me as someone who is disabled and live alone now something to look forward to. I wish you all the best in your new life in the south and work. But please don't be a stranger. Just the short little vlogs will be wonderful. Love and hugs to you all. ❤❤❤🐕🐕🐕🥰🤗😢

You are an amazing guy, I hope pastures new will make you happy. I think integrity, kindness and authenticity are such wonderful attributes. I look forward to seeing your new content. Thankyou!!

Good luck for the future with the new job. Totally agree with not buying stuff or marketing stuff for the sake of stuff you don't need. Thanks for the update, I'll keep the subscription running for any videos that appear whenever you have something you wish to upload.

Dear Andrew, I have a small blog on caravanning here in Italy but recently I'm not anymore able to produce contents because I feel empty exactly like you. I have a small KZfaq channel on caravanning and motorcycling but I publish only when I've something to tell. So I understand you perfectly, please keep your style and principles and we'll wait for your videos as soon as you'll have to tell us something. Good luck with your new job!

Good to see you back, Andrew. During your hiatus we've been quite concerned for your wellbeing, so thankyou for providing this update. I must say, you're already looking much happier than in some recent videos, you've obviously been needing this change for a while. You're absolutely right in what you say, having the guts to take a risk and give something a shot is never a failure. The body of quality work you've produced during these seven years, and the following you've attracted as a result, are a story of resounding success. As for future content; well I'm sure we'll all agree that quality trounces quantity every time! Personally I'd much rather sporadic updates that I know have brought YOU as much joy to make, as they do me to watch, than you draining yourself dry trying to churn out content to a timetable. Though we'll most likely never meet, I've shared so much of your life through your videos that I somehow think of you as a friend. I suspect many others feel the same. And you always want the best for your friends. Take care of yourself and your family, and we'll see you when we see you!

Andrew, I wondered what had happened and am glad to see that you are okay. Your honesty and integrity is the one thing that attracted me to your channel. I look forward to seeing what future content you produce and really hope you haven’t given up reviewing caravans. Best wishes for Christmas and the New Year.

You're not a failure but a success, but that also means knowing when to move on! And I really respect your honesty and integrity. Glad you are looking after yourself, and I look forward to whatever you do decide to post!

Andrew, I've enjoyed your videos as well as finding the content useful. So, in my eyes, that makes you a big success. I've seen other KZfaqrs talking about burnout. It is not worth it. So, if you do manage to produce the occasional video for your own interest, I will look forward to seeing them. I'm sure they will be great as they will be produced without the stress. Glad to hear you are continuing with the caravaning.

Glad that all is well ! My wife and I always enjoy and look forward to your videos (professionally produced and most entertaining). You have inspired us to live full time/minimalistical in our caravan which was the best decision we made! Looking forward to your future videos. Very best wishes. 💙

Great to see your all well and happy mate. Hopefully we can cross paths at some point and catch up.

Love the Mutt ! Videos of seeing places of interest in Kent would be nice; especially by bike.

You are the best, no question about that. I have always enjoyed the videos you produced due to the inherent honesty and morality you approach RV'ing with. Gonna' miss you and will look out for any future offerings you might provide. Thank you good luck in your current situation.

Great to know that all is well and you are happy and all is good. Really enjoyed your content over the years and hope you manage to recharge yourself. Respect for keeping it real. Here supporting you and sending the boys big hugs 🐶❤

All the best for the new chapter in your life, regarding all your caravan/ motorhome reviews & general videos you have produced over the past few years,”you lead, others follow” 👍👍👍

Thank you for all the interesting and beautiful videos you have shared with us. Do post to let us know how Ted, Dougal,and yourself are doing. I’m in central U.S. and have enjoyed seeing the beauties of other countries thru your lens. Thank you and blessings in this new chapter in your life Andrew.👍🏻😊💖

Love your honesty, and minimalism. Way to go Andrew. Keep it real.

Andrew. Do what’s right for you. I don’t think you could ever say that what you’ve done has failed. It’s been inspirational and I dare say will continue to do just that in the future. Plus, It was lovely to briefly catch up with you last August when you were out on your travels.

Good to see you’re little family again❤. How is your brother? We all must adapt to change in our lives and the world these days. Blessings 🙋🇨🇦🎄

Absolutely brilliant Andrew.. I do agree, the more integrity you have the harder it is. I am glad you are back out on two wheels.. take care and keep in touch 😊

Hi Andrew, so very good to see you I've been concerned about you, thank goodness you are fine. I 1st came across your Videos in around 2019 when you had your retro caravan Glenis & have so enjoyed all your Videos ever since. I fully support you & your decisions for the future. Wishing you well in your new job & home, you are such a lovely guy & absolutely 1st class in all you do. Wishing You,your Family, Dougal & Ted a very Merry Christmas & a Happy, Peaceful New Year. Lots of Love always. 💖💖💖💜💜💜XXX

Oh! Andrew! Sorry if ramble here but i want to say a few things, hopefully coherently 🤣 I watched your videos years ago then i stopped but occasionally did watch ones and i started again seeing your videos. I found your videos as i used to live in Lewis, my mothers from there and im bit of a ferry, train , plane geek 😂 - i found a video you made about travelling by ferry. also the islands hold a special place for me and you as i discovered and you brought that to me and others! Honestly im sorry to hear what happened but also delighted you keep your integrity!! I feel like i got to know you and dougal from the videos! Its awesome! Honestly i think you are so on point with the nonsense that sometimes comes out of social media and its cool you refuse to follow that even if it is the hard path. I understand what you mean when you say your creativity is spent just now, you need time to take a break recharge, enjoy family other things snd the freedom:) Im glad you have that just now! You are a success for way more than because you tried! You brought us many nice videos, experiences and shared much of the Hebrides and other places too with us! Not to mention lifestyles and the van reviews! You did a lot! It was very informative and nice to watch! You reached people with your videos! Remember that for ever! Also i think you presented in a fantastic way, its professional clear and concise! You do a good job! And as you just explained you made quality content over content for the sake of it!! Thats rare and fair play to you ! So you are a success for sure! Thanks for the update! And Ill be interested in any future videos you make! ☺️ Stay safe and enjoy yourself, job and new found freedom!

Mr. D seasons we all go through different seasons. This is one for you. Change is so good for the soul.whats important is enjoy whatever season you are in. All the best in what you are doing. From one Islander to another. Sharon in Newfoundland. Rock on.

Love your videos so much. I also love your reconnection with motorcycling! I’d love to see your videos that you create just for the fun of it. Your creativity and storytelling are inspirational. Thanks for all the sharing for all these years.

Andrew, thanks for the update, delighted that your move back is working out. As a fellow motorcyclist, I get that passion for the Mutt. Your loyal subscribers (of which I am one), will look forward to your “posting for fun “ output. Happy Christmas and a healthy, fulfilling New Year.

I'm a premium KZfaqr member as I watch a lot . Plenty of variation in my watching so I see what you describe in content creators trying too hard to get views and the hawking around of product (Drones, bikes batteries food VPN's !! etc). Your life, follow your dreams and ambitions - especially the bikes ( I've a brace and ride a blood bike) Lots of ways to live life and videos for the fun of it sounds right for you and us ! Take care ride safe.

Congratulations on your new adventure and hope all goes well. It has been a great joy sharing your experiences and insights. A true star 🌟 🎉

I am a long term subscriber - I came to your channel from an aspiring minimalist perspective. Loved all your videos, the travel and the dogs. But I respect you immensely for not giving into the drive to promote rubbish. I felt very broken hearted for you, having to leave Uist, as I had found my dream home in another Celtic place, Cornwall. I hope the job works out well for you. I'm a mum with adult child returned home for a shortish period too. From those side of the fence can I just say it is wonderful to have a son around again. Your Mum must be so proud of you. You are a brave man, to live by your values. I will keep an Eagle eye out for when you post in future. Best of luck!

Thank you for all the videos you produced the last seven years. I enjoyed them. But for now, look after yourself! I will be interested in your future productions. Cheers, Jean from Melick NL

Look forward to seeing that stove and solar panels in a future video! 🙂

I’ve watched you for years and have no intention of stopping. Have a great Christmas and New Year. Regards AJ

Andrew, you have been of great help and service over the years. As we embarked upon our MH journey, you have been of great help, thank you. Your videos are well thought out, well produced and well considered. These reasons alone make you stand out from the crowed. However, maintaining your high standards will come at a cost and you have paid the ultimate price. We all appreciate how candid and honest you are, no one doubts your integrity. Best wishes for your new adventure and I hope you continue to have some great times. Thanks for the ride!

Best of luck and look forward to seeing your new movies as and when.

Nice to have you back in Dover and the dogs ofcourse 😊 Will look forward to videos you do. Being happy is what comes first always. Take care, hugs and kisses for the boys xx 🐾🐾🐕🦓

Thank you for your honesty and all the best for the future. Glad to hear you will still be making contact as I am hopeful that one day to see Dougle smile.

Very much relatable thoughts sir! It's a sad state of affairs on KZfaq now unfortunately, especially within the campervan/motorhome area. Fair play for making a change in your life. Wishing you the best 👍

Product reviews really do my nut in, solar power packs, electric bicycles, diesel heaters, I could scream :D well done for not getting involved in that rabbit hole. Of course a motorcycle will always be the best tonic. Lovely to have met you at Torchfest. Best wishes for the new career, Mandy & Ian and Dave the dog :)

Andrew you have made some of the best general information videos for caravaning. I still watch them for refreshing the memory to use for future trips. Please leave them available 🙏 ❤

Andrew, your esteemed update is most welcome. I extend my gratitude for your continued diligence in keeping us apprised of matters.

GREAT to see you happy! Looking forward to your content as and when youre ready.... Did I see Dougal SMILE!!?

Andrew; quite simply thank you for sharing your journey. It is frankly so refreshing in the social media world to find such a genuine, honest and warm-hearted person. So all the best with the new job and a new chapter for Dougal, Ted and you.

Andrew I am happy with what ever you put up. I enjoy the caravan one and the catch up with the 4 legged family. Awesome to see you again. We have the same van as you spent 6 months in the South Island of New Zealand. We love it. Many thanks Annamieke from Kawerau New Zealand

Best caravan blogger out there and you definitely haven't lost a follower here 👍 ... All the very best in the new job and for the future. Looking forward to your videos popping up occasionally. Would be good to see some on motorcycling 😉

All the best for the future Andrew. I have enjoyed all your previous videos and I'm sure I will enjoy the next ones just as much. Sometimes, less is more!!

It’s like I’ve been on a journey with you as I first found your channel searching for motorbike videos. All the best Andrew❤

All the best. Thank you for the update. And hoping you have a joyful, Merry Christmas. Will look forward to whatever comes up on your channel. Thank you for your integrity!

Your channel has been one of the most enjoyable, most authentic and professional. And entertaining. Beloved by so many people. But you must do what you have to do and I totally understand everything you laid out today. Of you have time and energy enough to pop the occasional vlog for us to see what you’re up to , the digs, the scenery etc we’d be over the moon. Meanwhile, life is a story book and you’ve begun a new chapter. Go for it! And all the very best.xxx

Having only recently found your channel and going through your back catalogue, I really hope you do keep going. I’ve discovered that we have a lot in common - caravanning, railways and dogs (I met my husband through the local model railway club). I particularly love the railway walk series and can recommend the Wolverly C&CC site for the Severn Valley Railway and Winchcombe C&CC site for the Gloucestershire & Warwickshire. Anyway, I just wanted to say that I really hope that you can keep going with the channel. Take care (PS as an accountant, I can help with that tax return!)

Andrew, I just wanted to wish you the very best for the future, a new job and a new home. Thank you for your back catalogue of informative content. I've always found it enjoyable to watch and balanced in its reviews. I look forward to new videos and the surprise, once you are settled in your new circumstances.

Andrew may I wish you all the best for the future and thank you for all the wonderful content you have given us. Your one of the reasons I started my own Channel and I’m enjoying it especially when I receive thanks from someone who’s benefited from my vlogs. Take car and give the dogs a tickle from me.

All the best for your new venture and look forward to seeing your posts in the New Year. Your artistic nature always shines through and I hope you will carry on.

I see Mr. Ditton on a long expedition on a motorcycle that takes him down to Cape Town South Africa. Life is an adventure.

Andrew, you've always struck me as someone with loads of integrity so you have my full support. Recently I have noticed there has been a lot of click bait from tubers trying to get likes and subscriptions but that doesn't sit well with me some subscriptions are somewhat less. Keep up the good work, please! Absolutely love the bike!!!

Being an advocate for living simply myself, I’m happy that you talk about consumerism culture and I particularly enjoyed your ‘Living Simply’ videos. Congrats on your new, exciting job and I’m so pleased that your move south is working out so well for you Andrew.

I think we all support your decision, you must do what suits you, as much or as little as you want. We do feel that your videos are some of the best around, clean, crisp and informative, I couldn't do it as I can't take the criticism or trolling, I am too soft for that. So we hope to see you on here from time to time to keep up with your life and your two furry buddies. Go live your life Andrew, it's the only one you have got 🙏🏻❤️ 🐶

Nice update, glad things are going well and best wishes for the future.

Hi Andrew, hope the new job is totally brilliant and life continues to be good. Your honesty is such a breath of fresh air when talking about sponsorship and advertising on different channels. As for being back on two wheels, I couldn’t agree more as I have been a life long biker!

Congratulations on your new job! Glad to hear everything is working out for you. I really hear you with regard to social media and completely agree. 😊

Good luck in the new job, you deserve all the best in life. We love your channel and will keep supporting it as it has brought us so much in terms of info and entertainment over the years❤

I bought my caravan to the backing track of your content. I will miss your regular postings but totally see the bigger picture. Your videos gave me the confidence to get caravanning and more importantly the family and I are now total Skerryvore fanatics (if you know, you know). For that alone, we will be grateful for the rest of our lives.

Andrew, thank you so much for all your videos. I have enjoyed all of them. Very good luck with your new job. 👍 😊

Andrew, so nice to see a video from you today! You've been on my mind -- have been wondering how you were doing. So glad that you found a job you like. Looking forward to hearing all about your new job and your caravan trips to come! 🤗 Dara in Arizona

Andrew, what can we say.......we love your direction, ethics and determination. Leavig Uist was HUGE MATRON, doing what you need to do is even HUGER! We are here, we are not leaving, we will continue to look for content, but do not require it. Live, Breathe and be at Peace!

You are an honest man, Andrew. I have always enjoyed your videos but you have to stay true to yourself. I am also from the SE but have been living in rural Cumbria for 10 years and even this distance is a bit difficult sometimes. I know what you mean about missing the multiculturalism of a big city and I miss that so much too. Other parts of the country are beautiful and are often good places to live, but they ain't home, no matter how much you want it to be. Thanks very much for your update and look forward to seeing your big reveal ! Stay well, be happy. Pete

I’ll be glad to see news of Ted and Dougall, views of the Kent countryside and information about living a minimalist life whenever it suits you and you feel like popping in.

Hi Andrew, I started watching your videos before our epic 8 week tour of Scotland. Thanks to you I have to say we fell in love with the place and is probably the best holiday we’ve ever had, so can understand why you are missing it so much… I think all proper and genuine people will be on your side and support your decision. Nevertheless there are some horrible individuals about who feel the need to respond with negative comments, but I’m guessing it’s one of the downside’s when we put ourselves out there in the world of social media … So wishing you all the best in your new career and new life down in Kent, “AND” Don’t let the B******do get the better of you. I’ll be keeping a lookout for any content you put up … Best wishes, Miranda ✊👍

Congratulations on your new job, I have loved your content for years, you are the reason we discovered the Hebrides, a gift that we can never repay :) If you make one video that makes you happy a year then that will be enough. I agree with you 100% about social media, it starts as joy and ends up for a lot of people as a hamster wheel of repetitive vacant videos to make money. You have taught me SO much in such a natural way I am grateful. Thankyou for the last 7 years, looking forward to the next 7 however they may be xx

Hello Andrew….just wanted to say you and the boys are greatly missed. I always enjoy Sunday morning when your videos pop up on KZfaq (8 hour time difference). Looking forward to your return and hoping you have a better year than 2023! ❤️ from Britain Columbia Canada 🇨🇦. PS. Would like to see a caravan to Devon and Cornwall?

Being your own boss can sound something to aim for but there’s a pressure that you carry with you that takes it’s toll. All credit to you for making wise changes. When things settle I look forward to the return of your high quality posts without the pressure of quantity. Best wishes Andrew.

I've really appreciated your videos and newsletters. Thank you for sharing part of yourself with us. Good luck with this new chapter xxx

Certainly seems the right decision for you Andrew as you sound exhausted by Social. A point I found interesting was that you now feel you're enjoying the freedom that's came from the changes and then describe many of the things many people want to escape from to find freedom. Found that really insightful as it goes to show that there is no one choice of lifestyle that makes people feel free so they need to find their own.

Great to hear that you are happy back in Dover. Best wishes for your job. Thanks for your honesty, we appreciate your values. I'm looking forward to your caravan videos in the Spring.

Andrew, thanks for all the effort you have made in making the videos! Looking forward to whatever you feel like putting out (as long as Dougle and Ted are guest stars!) 😉

Hope you’re back on the railways!
