Cameron McNeish Host of the BBC’s “Roads Less traveled”

Introduction

Hyundai i800 owner Cameron McNeish uses his campervan for both work and leisure, although the margins between the two tend to become pretty blurred.

“Essentially I climb mountains for a living, and the Hyundai gives me a fantastic mobile base to work from. I climb hills and mountains and write about it for newspapers and magazines. I’m in my 40th year as a professional outdoor writer and throughout that time a series of campervans have carried me to some of the most fantastic locations imaginable”.

More recently Cameron has made television programmes for BBC Scotland that have featured his Hyundai i800.

I travelled between Oban and Ullapool last year and made two hour-long programmes called Roads Less Travelled in which I took some of the quieter byways and climbed some hills, did some mountain biking and made use of my packraft to visit the Arising Skerries and a holy island on Loch Maree in Wester Ross. Viewers seemed to like the idea of a campervan journey so we’ll be doing a similar trip this year.

Indeed we’ve already started filming a journey between Dornoch in the North East of Scotland and Orkney. The programmes will be broadcast at Christmas and shows that life in a modern, well-fitted camper van like the Hyundai i800 can be pretty comfortable.
