Am I the luckiest man alive? My wife keeps telling me we need to get that or sort this, spend more money on the Land Rover. She loves overlanding, camping the outdoors. That said, she still want's the house decorated and new carpets, oh and a new bathroom.

Indeed as polaris mentioned, NC500 is a good one, if you look at the routes forum on here I wrote something about it and uploaded the gpx file
Being from North Uist I'm bias lol

I shall have a look. I was planning a route last month, but in the end thought we'd just go wherever takes our fancy. Although Mull, Skye and the NC500 are a given.

I'm currently in Croatia, started trip beginning April in Cyprus and will end up in Aberdeen some time early next year.
So I'm out for a trip this year but definitely up for something next year .

North Coast 500 was amazing, I had to work up in Durness, so we decided to make a trip of it and camped our way around. It was my first time in Scotland outside of Edinburgh, and I'd go back in a heartbeat - we took every one of the narrower roads, and camped by the side of lochs/the sea. Didn't get into the islands though, that's saved for next time.
My wife doesn't fly, so we are forced to take the car *poor me oh dear..* but even still its hard to pursuade her to upgrade the jeep! Very lucky Andy

It is a long way to go for a camp in the rain from the South West. Normally we head south for some sun. Last summer was a trip around the Alps. April we went down to Spain. So I guess we are due a wet trip this summer. Fingers crossed it's not too wet and not too many midges. Last time we went to Scotland I fell ill and we had to come home after a few nights.

Count me in for the 500 trip, my wife 'the boss' wants to head there and do the journey, and so do I, we've been trying to get a few friends to join us, but around here there is only a hand full of friends that enjoy the overland experience.
Currently planning a short trip to Strata Florida, short weekend break & some wild camping too...once we've finished decorating the house of course...well, thats what I have to tell the boss anyway haha

I'd be up for it but the wife wouldn't. I haven't any holidays to take either so it's completely out of the question

I'll see what I can conjure up when the dates have been organised. I really would love to go.

My Insta is a bit limited, I must get round to using it more. it's been a while since I was in Snowdonia. I've spent a fair amount of time in the Brecons.
Perhaps we need to organise something when I visit my Dad next. I've no idea when that will be though
