#moray #aberdeenshire #scotland After slightly changing our route we find a superb aire in Cullen and enjoy a fantastic day exploring. Moving on the next day we stop for lunch in Port Errol where we chance upon some fellow KZfaqrs “on a donder” before finding our park up for the night (or so we thought) we don’t usually do “wildcamping” (or fly camping as we call it) and we soon find out why, moving on as we’re feeling uncomfortable we end up in Stonehaven at half past midnight! Hi We're Rick, Heather & our dog Poppy and we travel the U.K in our S&L Apollo camper van “Athena”
We film the places we visit as our own diary, these videos are meant as a little memento for us but we're happy to share them with you if you want to watch.
We're just an ordinary couple in our 50's filming our adventures with basic equipment so don't expect loads of flash camera action and super editing with great music.
We also film videos of work we have done on our van as well as van reviews for our reference of the next van we might buy. Occasionally there are hints & tips videos too. We do basic site and area reviews including if they’re dog friendly but they’re a guide only based on our opinions which may or may not help you make an informed decision on if you’d like the place.
We do a mix of off grid camping, pub stopovers plus real campsites too, hopefully something for everyone to enjoy!
Please leave us a comment on the videos, we love reading them and reply to each one.
We try to upload once a week so please consider subscribing to see our travels, it’s free and will really help us.
Thanks for watching!

Hi Rick and heather a great video as ever and some stunning locations we have been to Cullen and agree it’s a fab place to visit that fish supper and the aire looked good and looks like a great drive around the coast but I don’t blame you leaving that park up you have to be safe and feel safe and think you made right decision. Well done poppy on braving a Scottish sea I bet it was freezing! Hope you are all well all the best Daniel

Must get up to Cullen - looks very scenic And great to meet David and Lindsay 👍 What a beautiful coastline. Amazing weather too. I think we were getting that in the West as you were in the East. That site looked ok in the daytime but you were right to move - no point staying and taking a risk - and getting no sleep at best! Safe travels guys 👍😃

Nice looking fish and chips f(and sausage!) rom Lindas, The aire looked nice too. Lovely blue sky at Cullen bay. Lovely beach too! Think a lot of the car parks tend to attract the local youths, we used to hang out many years ago I suppose - there was a local car park you could surpass a 360 :) Didn’t S&L make horse boxes? Should be ok then haha. Reason we don’t stop in random car parks, not worth the hassle unless you’re looking for drama. Prefer a good nights sleep not needing to move on etc. Holiday too precious for hassle. Have a great week, all the very best, David & Rachel 👍

Yeah I think with hindsight there’s a reason we leave fly camping to the experts 🤣

Should have listened to your intuition Rick and moved on earlier. Never mind alls well that ends well and it makes a good story to share. Loved seeing Poppy paddling she loves the beach. ❤

Yeah, we were hoping for some late company for safety in numbers I suppose, no drama though we just decided it was easier to move just in case. We were surprised at Poppy in the sea too 🤣

That coast looks beautiful - the sea looked good enough to swim in but I suppose the North Sea is a bit chilly that time of year. I don't blame you for moving on from that last park-up, I do wonder about the mentality of some people - what sad, boring, little lives they must have.

Maybe we’d have been ok… but there’s a reason we prefer a rally site I guess!

Shame about the colour of the sky on day one, it's just shows how another day can change and make you feel so much better with some sunshine.
