Thank you - I am doing the NC500 (ironically leaving 16 May also). I am travelling solo with my dog and these tips are so useful. I also have your book

Thanks Robbie for an excellent video. I've purchased your book this afternoon so hopefully it will arrive in the next week as we off on the NC500 in September! Kind regards Sidestickflyer

Great stuff. Useful tips and fantastic informative videos. Have used your nc500 videos and itinerary to plan my trip coming up in 2 weeks. Looking forward to it. 😎 thanks Robbie.

I go tomorrow and I’ve booked ahead. In a camper van but I’ve booked 2 sites for amenities

Thanks - doing the NC500 next week - some very nice tips, ps your videos are very watchable.

[gailt]

Doing the route soon. Many thanks for the tips 👍 now to check out your other vids 😀

Bring a spade and bucket, biodegradable bags and wipes and bury.

Excellent list. Could apply to any road trip. I book accommodation and travel 11 months ahead (most don't allow you to before that). This way I always get the best locations. Just check that they have free cancellations. Am looking forward to doing this trip next year when international travel is back to almost normal, I hope. Yes, your spreadsheet is already helping plan my itinerary. Thanks.

Honestly some of the best videos on the NC500, and the Google sheet is amazing too, thank you so much for taking the time for making that and these videos! Super helpful

Also love that this video isn’t those typical tips videos, which is the super obvious stuff, elaborated in 10 different ways. I’m an over planner and this is one of the few videos out there there remind you of those little things you forget! Thank you :)

[kevinandsusanfuller]

We really enjoyed your videos have found them very useful for our NC500 trip in August, have you any idea when your road map will be going on sale, I think you said to keep a check on Amazon 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[celiabeverton]

[shaneraymer]

I had no idea you could download google maps offline. Thanks for the tip!

[rolandbrooks]

Cracking video, , really full of great hints and tips, ( I didn't know you could download Google maps 👍) I plan on doing the Northumberland 250 end of April as a taster for the NC500 at the start of September. Thanks

[philarmitage]

Good set of videos, I’ve found these useful in narrowing down what to visit on our trip later this year 👍🏼

[janeshort]

We are going last week in sept 1st week in October all hotels are booked just need to sort out the packing.

[AnneMB]

Will you send your travel guide to Australia? 🇦🇺
These tips are gold. Thx Robbie.

[anonymouspdg]

Although you would think this is common sense, these were Great tips so thanks.
One question I have is when did you go and what are the busiest and least busiest times of year to visit? We are retired so can basically go anytime.

[janettebarry]

I was renting a camper, not self sufficient tho and was told I can pull over anywhere within reason and sleep in van for the night?

[bigbangrjason]
