I agree although I think he’s a prick as well👍
Altnaharra and straight up to the Kyle of Tongue should avoid the worst of the west coast traffic No shortage of guest houses and camp sites around that end of the world and Orkney is well worth a few days of your time whilst there.I purposely wanted to avoid the 500, though any route covering that area is obviously going to follow bits of it.I have actually been entertaining the thought of a Motorhome recently.Well, err, I was toying with hiring one next year and doing a 2 week tour around the top of Scotland.
I really am getting old !
I'm pretty certain camper vans ain't for me, so I suppose if I tried one for a holiday I'd know either way.
Let's guess, going to do the fabled "500" with all the other wannabe Rob Roys, and try a bit of Haggis and have a wee dram..
It isn't for you TB, trust me, all the tinkers bumbling along at 50mph, stopping without indication, O and you wait till they see anything bigger than a fly coming towards them.
Ironically, when I was up in the highlands last month, getting about was easy and fairly quick, despite a lack of roads. Everyone drove at the speed limit, or pulled over after a mile or 2, bar the odd camper van. That ease of getting about, added to the fact the scenery is breathtaking, is why I half considered a passion wagon for a trip up there again. The area is too vast to have a single base to do day visits out.
The alternative would be being organised to have hotels booked and a strict itinerary, but that's not how we holiday.

It's a moot point.
A feature I would REALLY like on the Jag - both of 'em - is a clock that can adjust itself. Every other bloody car has been able to since the 1980s. No idea what JLR were smoking when they suffered CBA to implement something so simple.
Secondly it looks like a VW Passat estate. It might be hybrid, but it's no EV.
I've been out of the Prison Service since 2020 after 24 years,to say that it is now out of control is an understatement, human rights are now the biggest problem that they have to deal with, also the accelerated promotion scheme which sees morons with a degree being promoted way above their capabilities . Glad to be out of it & enjoying the pension I risked life & limb for.
If you want to add accommodation and car hire/transfers most airlines will offer to add these to a booking
I drove an Audi Q7 with cameras instead of door mirrors. The screen for them was positioned at the edge of the dash by the A pillar. At the end of the journey I still hadn't got used to them as I constantly instinctively glanced where the original door mirror would have been - I think they would take a lot of getting used to, and I don't get the point of them? More to go wrong I guess....Aerodynamics? Fuel saving?
Fuel saving is about 1 egg cup full a week. I haven't spoken to any HGV driver who has said Cameras are Good,
(It's an Audi, after all).
I know, those police drivers. They get up my arse, flashing wigwam lights and blues and twos, then when I stop to let them past, the also stop and get out, and start with "Evening Nigel Mansell....."Christ, how long ago did he stop you? It's not even Lewis Hamilton anymore, more like Lando Norris.
None of them had that many punctures, though...
