HELLO
I’ve just got back from a week in the Scottish Highlands where, even in late February, the roads were filled with campervans. I’m afraid campervanners are not the most popular visitors to the area, though, thanks largely to the antics of an ignorant few in the post lockdown years. Parking up outside houses on residential streets, leaving engines running into the night and sometimes even blocking driveways, is not the way to get you a warm welcome from the locals.
On my recent visit, I drove along the side of Loch Ness and was reminded of the set-up I witnessed at a layby on the A82 a couple of summers ago. Two campervans had parked nose to tail and set up a barbecue, dining table and toilet tent! We can only speculate where the contents of the toilet cassette were dumped…
I know Campervan readers would never behave so irresponsibly, but with Easter approaching and campsites starting to fill up again, I’d urge you to remind fellow ’vanners that we need to treat these beautiful places we all want to visit with respect.
And that’s one of the messages I’ll be getting across when I speak at some of the Warners Shows this year – tickets are on sale for our 2024 events and all the details can be found on our website outandaboutlive.co.uk/shows
