@kalianna1662 No problem at all Kalianna, hope you get at least decent weather for it. Suppose it depends what you do, like going skiing am sure is further down the road heading in Glasgow's direction, or if hiking or camping then you know at least :)
@janjohansen6 Like the way I see it mate, am Glaswegian and a typical one at that, as Glaswegians love a good bargain. So we know how to have a good time on the cheap ;) it's all about buying your stuff cheap here, before camping two weeks some where. Whereas holiday programmes, may not even tell you that stuff. Plus, who's stopping you camping in the middle of no where where it doesn't cost you? LOL!! just use trees and leaves for toilet paper LOL!!!
@janjohansen6 lol thanks mate :) I'll be getting part two made tonight and uploaded, which is showing more towards Ballachulish of Glencoe ;) maybe at some point I'll do one for yous of Fort William :) cause it's a STUNNING place :)
Very nice. I really enjoyed taking your video treck. I feel like I had a mini vacation. (you say holiday). I would really like to find the cheepest accomodations possible.. One step above camping. What do you think I could get a very basic - budget - room for at Glencoe. Or, do you think I could get better cheep prices in Fort William? I have to conserve money because I only have Socical Security to live on.
@wallyozzy Thanks Wallace :) you know what Britain is like, or as I like to call it, 'rip off' Britain, because they're good at ripping you off. It's a truth and a very sad truth in these times that we face cut backs and have to because the state the country is in. What I will say to you though, that camp site we camped at, was £8 a night. That's roughly 12.99600 US$ you'd find though, if you had your own food or bought food cheap from like 'aldi's' in scotland, you're saving a lot.
@ScottMcK9 I am ashamed, being a Scot, what or who is an " 'aldi's ". I'm of the Clan Home, should I know this? Thanks for the real info. I am definately interested and if I can get to Scotland I will. Could be this summer or at least before the end of 2011. Of course I want to see Glasgow, where my Grandfather was a shipbuilder (carpenter). I don't even know when he moved his family to British Columbia (where my father was borne 1914) I was borne in Berkeley Calif 1944. Wallace
@wallyozzy lol no worries, Aldi's is just a cheap sort of small shop and you have them around the UK. handy for buying cheap enough food etc, plus you find doing the same thing in Tesco's or ASDA, saving a lot. You'd love Glasgow as it has a lot of museums etc. May even do a wee map tour of that, at least gives people an idea of where somethings are :) God I was brought up here and even I don't know my way around some parts lol
@wallyozzy I'd never buy the food from the small shops up there, purely because in touristy places, they cost more. I mean I saw a bottle of ginger up there that cost £2.20 or something, when you could get the same bottle in some cheap supermarket in Glasgow for perhaps, less than a pound or at least a little over a pound. If of course it's a two week holiday sort of thing. B&B's are obviously more expensive, you find camping works out cheaper, like this B&B at Loch Leven would cost...
@wallyozzy would cost £27.50 a night. Whereas camping 2 weeks in that camp site I was at, it'd cost a total of £112. Like I say buying food from some cheap supermarket from some where like Glasgow is ideal. Glen Nevis camp site when I camped there in 2006 was £10 a night, they may have bumped the price up though, don't know, but I can safely say it'd be cheaper than your B&B's. Like I say bud, food that'll last you camping from some cheap supermarket, can't go wrong ;) that's what I do!
i'm visiting glencoe i find this very helpfull thank you
