Forget hurrying. Forget putting your foot down and racing through
sweeping bends. Forget the understeer (whatever that is). Forget the
blur of a life lived too fast. This is a look at taking life slowly.
It's about taking the time to enjoy journeys and places for their own
sake. It's about stopping and putting the kettle on. Stopping to take a
picture. Stopping to enjoy stopping.
How are you going to do it? In a camper van or a motorhome, of course.
In this book we define the best driving routes around Scotland for
camper vans and motorhomes. We show you the coolest places to stay, what
to see, what to do and explain why it's special. We meander around the
highlands, lowlands and islands of Scotland on the most breathtaking
roads, chugging up mountain passes and pootling along the coast. We show
you stuff that's fun, often free. We include the best drives for
different kinds of drivers; for surfers, wildlife watchers, climbers and
walkers. We include the steepest, the bendiest, those with the most
interesting bridges or views or obstacles, ferries and tidal causeways.
And you don't even have to own a camper van or motorhome - we'll tell
you the many places you can rent one to take you on the journey.
All of this is interspersed with beautiful photos, handy maps and quirky
travel writing from the king of camper vans and motorhomes, Martin
Dorey. So if all you want to do is flick through it on a cold day and
plan your next outing, you'll be transported (albeit slowly) to
pastures, beaches, mountains and highways that make you want to turn the
key and go, go, go!
We'll take you to see Scotland the slow way. The way it should be seen.
