You Can’t Handle the Hoof!

Hi everyone, Lamby and Flossie here and we’d like to share our Highland Hoof Blog about our adventures around the NC500 in Scotland. Some of you may have been reading our owner Jude’s blog which is all very lovely but doesn’t tell you the truth. It wasn’t all sunshine and…

Portree and the Old Man of Storr

Following our stunning walk in the Quiraing we were hot and in need of a hearty lunch so we made our way down the hairpin bends to Portree. Portree is the biggest town on Skye and has a pretty harbour with pastel coloured pubs and buildings. We spotted Cafe Arriba…

Auckengil to John O’Groats

We left you on the riverbank in Wick last time and from there we travelled up to Auckengil to stay with my friend Lisa who I went to university with. Lisa lives in a beautiful spot with horses, guinea pigs, rabbits and dogs. The track runs down from her house…

Helmsdale Harbour to Wick

We left Dornoch with full tummies and the wind in our hair and continued up the coastline to Helmsdale Harbour. This is a well known stopping point and there were several motorhomes already there when we arrived. As it was my birthday, we decided to walk up to one of…

Inverness to Tarbat Ness

Following a long drive from Carlisle we arrived in Inverness at Bunchrew campsite. This is obviously a popular spot with campers doing the NC500 and is used as a starting point or finishing point for many. When we arrived the rain was coming in and the views over the Beauly…

And We’re Off (well nearly!)

Dom and I made the decision to drive the NC500 for our holiday this year. The NC500 is the North Coast road which runs in a sort of loop around the Highlands of Scotland both starting and ending at Inverness. Although the roads themselves have been there for years, the…

Sugar and Spice and All Things Nice!

The three things everyone mentions when you talk about Rio are Copacabana Beach, Christ the Redeemer and Sugar Loaf Mountain. Well we’d ticked one off our list, now for the others. New Year’s Day, just like at home had been one of snoozing, lazing, recovering and eating. By the second…

Under the Waterfalls

So far we’d seen the mighty waterfalls at Iguassu from the Argentine side. Now, we’d see them from the Brazilian side too. Once again, our driver collected us from the bungalows but this time he whisked us over the land border with a quick check of paperwork and onto Iguassu…

Wall of Water

The last blog was full of water and this will be no different! Last time, we enjoyed the splendour of The Devil’s Throat at Iguassu National Park. This boiling, hissing, roaring surge of water certainly left an impression. Having sustained ourselves with snacks following this wonderful sight, we made our…

Hear it Roar!

During our trip away we’d seen many fabulous sights but the two that moved me to tears were Machu Picchu and Iguassu Falls. The Argentine side of the National Park is well organised with trains, well maintained paths, maps and signs galore. Just the walk up to catch the train…
