MOBY GOES TO TURKEY. A tam and pups adventure.

[Northernraider]

Are you sure it was the dogs that scared her

Well you never know , as a fat shaved headed tattooed 6ft 3 bloke I do get some funny looks at times ....and I got my bag looked in at lidl this morning , first time that's ever happened . So you never know , maybe it was me lol.

I often catch some very strange looks and glances though.. bugs me sometimes. And If I had a pound for everytime I hear folk commenting on how many dogs etc as I walk past I'd be a millionaire.

Today I heard eins, zwei, drie. Vier ... vier hund meine gott. On more than one occasion lol.

But also encountered more dog friendly folk in Germany the last week or so than I was getting in Greece etc.

Been blessed a few times too

They are just showing off they can count to 4!
My last 3 dogs have been Ridgebacks and as you walk past people you hear one tell the other "that's a Ridgeback" wish I'd got the the one ridgeless one in the litter this one came from, that would confuse them!
In France you get the typical French grunt followed by "le ridgeback" occasionally "le rhodisian"

Does anyone else get these news stories daily.? Honestly the Scottish sun really has it in for motorhomes in the Highlands.

Here's another one

NC500 local confronted by 'aggressive' campervan driver who was 'blocking croft'

A SHAKEN NC500 local claims they were confronted by a “threatening and abusive” campervan driver. The resident said they discovered the tourist was blocking a vital entry point into their field. An…

www.thescottishsun.co.uk

I don't know if it's just me but I read that and it sounds like it was written by a 12 year old and that the "local" had mental issues.

The speculation is astounding lol.

Every day they have an nc500 story. And most are from that Facebook page.

Tam please don't take this the wrong way, but in all your photos there, there is only one dog, don't you ever think it's you that is different with four trailing along, it's bound to be a shock to people.

I've always been different Charlie. And very very proud to be.

Normal is for sheep lol

I know..I just find it frustrating, we all know these stories are 90% bullshit but it will have the desired effect and lead to further restrictions on campers .. it also just fuels bad feeling towards both campers and tourists in general.

Here's a convenient example ... I'm parked up in a carpark by a sports centre tonight. So a load of guys have turned up to play football or something . There's been 4 guys so far went to the front of my camper to do a piss

Now personally I don't care a jot about someone peeing outside BUT if I did that I guarantee someone would complain about the dirty camper tourist doing a pee outside.

If I was in the Highlands I'd be in the papers , yet I'm willing to bet every cent I have in the bank that the exact same thing happens there.

I've lost count of the times I've seen people go in to bushes or behind sand dunes etc and do a shit leaving paper and wipes behind them . And in the places where campers go they get the blame.

It just really feckin annoys me


You're like me , you're a fulltimer so this ISN'T just a holiday for you either it's a lifestyle and it's under threat constantly. And the older i get the more it bothers me.

Like I said I hate people the world is full of scumbags these days.

I'm regularly tempted to join Facebook again to leave my two pence worth on that nc500 page but I guarantee I'd get kicked off within an hour .

I see that a lot in Scotland with the tour busses Tam. Even had some knock on the door and ask if they can use the toilet lol

Tour busses all over with no toilets in them, never anything said about that as far as I have seen. You cant blame the passengers either cos if they have to go...

 

[Just smiffy]

Just have a walk along the road with me tam… you won’t get many looks then….

I’d be tempted to give a nice blast of the van horn and see them piss their selves

Some photos of rothenburg.... I was comparing some of them to one's I took in October 2020 lol and the scaffolding is still up

Bit busier in summer though as expected. I only had 2 dogs last time I was here.

Excellent collection of photos of Rothenburg, they give a good flavour of the whole place.

Will you have time before leaving to get the drone up for some aerial shots showing how the town sits above the river. That would be good.

I'm not sure if it's possible to put it up here but I will see how quiet it is in the morning.

When you are leaving you could stop and fly it in from outside rather than launching in the town - less obvious.

I'm parked outside of the town . I wouldn't attempt to put it up inside the town but I still have to make sure no one is around as technically I'm not licensed to fly it here

 

[Grianan]

I love Rothenburg lovely to see your photos.

 

[Lenny HB]

You cant blame the passengers either cos if they have to go..

But they don't have to leave their tissues and crap behind, that's what really bugs me.

I once got caught short on a mountain walk, used my boot and walking stick to dig a hole & bury it & took the tissues with me. It's not hard.
