Summary

He’s navigated his way around the Emerald Isle, but now it’s time for John Robins to pilot his beloved compact SUV to pastures new. Will there be golf? Yes. Will there be wind? Just a bit. Will there be pints? Of course. It’s time for him to swap limericks for lochs and set sail for the next destination in his journey of self (and content) discovery: Scotland. John’s holiday is about to come to an end, but before heading to his home in rural Buckinghamshire there’s just time for him to take a visit to his spiritual home. He also stops off at another service station, and reflects on what he’s learnt during his time on the road.

I am leaving the drovers in, which is one of the weirdest places I've ever been in my entire

Anyway, the reason I'm in a good mood is I'm off to Edinburgh today, but I got a bit of

0:59.8

time to kill before I'm allowed to check in. And I got a message, a DM, someone slid into

1:06.6

my DMs. And no, I'm not in a good mood because I'm about to have full intercourse. No, someone

1:12.8

slid into my DMs, which I don't check very often, but I just happened to check them. And

1:20.2

it was asking if I fancy it around a golf. Now, every so often, I do get astified like

1:25.8

a round of golf, but I'm usually too busy or shy to accept. In fact, this is the first

1:31.3

time I've ever accepted, but I thought, you know what? It's on the way. I need something

1:36.8

is his name, who I'm convinced is my best friend. Anyway, Google the golf course. And

1:49.8

this really isn't why I like playing golf, but it's a bit of interest. It turns out

1:55.8

it's one of the most exclusive golf courses in the world. So I would, you know, it's like

2:02.8

a once in a lifetime golf course because it's a private course. You have to be invited
