Less than 24 hours....

Less than 24 hours to go and I honestly can't say I'm totally packed...!!

Water To Go bottle
Fantastic because I can drink
water from anywhere
thanks to the filter!



My living room looks like some kind of bomb has hit it, a bomb that includes clothes and bags and stuff sacs, pots, pans, camera parts, bottles... anything really!!

My "tech bag" is full to over flowing with spare batteries and lenses, cameras, chargers and all sorts! I've borrowed two batteries from a friend for HARVe (the Hovel Aerial Reconnaissance Vehicle, otherwise known as my quadcopter!)so I've got roughly an hour of flight at a time with him, so hoping to get some lovely aerial shots and footage. Especially of Loch Ness... mostly of Loch Ness!!

Princess testing out
her backpack!
With Google's new Photos I can upload photos (upto 16MP) and video (full 1080p HD)completely free and unlimited storage! Which is fab!! I will make my Scotland 2015 photo album publicly available for you all to look at!


Other than a few bits, I think we're pretty much packed! Prince and Princess look so cute in their matching camo backpacks and have been a mixure of excitement and total confusion all day with all the packing. Prince will be SO happy about being in the car tomorrow, I can guarantee!!

Very misleading front cover story





 Teapot brought home the Daily Star today, apparently its a slow news day because the headline is a misleading story about a chap who's been searching for the Loch Ness Monster and has yet to find him so he's finally given up. Good on him for trying, now move over and let me give it a go is what I say!! :)
My handsome Prince
Little Princess

 Well, I think that's it for now! Tomorrow will be a roughly 6 hour drive upto Northumberland to our first campsite. Not looking forward to the long and boring drive, but really looking forward to the scenery from Yorkshire onwards!

Until tomorrow, over and out folks!

xx


N.B. As usual, I've changed names; even the dogs. I don't believe in using people's real names on my blog, so don't worry... the dogs aren't ACTUALLY called Prince and Princess! ;)
