- FIDDEN FARM CAMPSITE ON THE ISLE OF MULL
A great base to adventure from in a kayak or on foot to secluded beaches. Really lovely campsite location and plenty of flat grass to pitch with clean facilities (although not enough showers and toilets). It is rather exposed to the wind and with zero sun cover but if prepared and in good weather it’s hard to beat. I kayak around the Isle of Iona exploring the coastline and having lunch on the best most isolated beach. The van is working well and I’m a happy man😬

We were the lucky neighbours that this cheeky chappy parked beside - let me just say that he is even more likeable (if that is possible) in real life!
You were great company Al and we were very sad to see you go.
Excellent videos too. I can see what you were on about now!!
Michael and Rachel
Thanks Michael! I had a wonderful time on Mull and a big part of it was meeting you guys. Thanks for the fires and interesting and humorous conversation. Top man👍👍👍
Fantastic, you can’t beat Scotland and kayaking
Pure bliss
I camped at this place about 10 yrs ago, on route to Iona to burry my late grans ashes. She always spoke about Iona but never managed to get there.. I felt it was my duty to spread her ashes there..
Thanks lovely. I’d be happy there too
This has one of the best drone sequences I've seen so far. I love the van and what you've managed to do with it. It's been quite an awesome project thus far. May the Dull Dub carry you many miles to come Al. Cheers friend. Keep the excitement coming.
Thanks Jase. Having the van definitely opens up more opportunities… I’m on it!
WOW !!!! That was fantastic and the acoustic & slide guitar music at 7.05 was absolutely perfect !!!! What a lovely bit of music, will have to hunt that out :) OUTSTANDING !!!! Great vid mate :) Well Done :)
Stellar video brother! That area sure did look absolutely gorgeous! Good times for sure 👍
Just absolutely love watching your videos. 😊❤
This is one huge adrenalin rush! We are so lucky having you share such content. Big thanks mate, well done indeed.
Thanks mate I’m glad you appreciate it. Takes some effort filming it😂
Absolutely stunning Vlog, Iona kayak indeed. Keep it up, spectacular footage 👏 👏
Swwwweeeeet!
Bit the bullet myself with a camper. Haven’t got the patience and time for a build but found a T6.1 camper so I explore more. Also updated my tent so looking forward to more nights out.
Was not expecting drone shots as well on that adventure - appreciate your commitment & effort to creating fab videos!
Wit a brilliant video buddy , yi gotta love bonnie Scotland 🏴🖌️🎨
Great scenery, and that hidden beach looks idyllic. Wonderful drone footage, and choice of music. Perfect chat too 😊
Thanks Mike. Great to find these places 👌
I was there 5 nights ago. Lovely campsite. I love Iona.
To those asking where Blue is: it's simple, kayaking on the open water at sea is no place for a big dog. They would unbalance the kayak, and put both of them at risk. It's that simple. Dogs do not kayak oceans well.
In the name of fairness, could your next video be of Blue. Just Blue. Maybe you can do a voiceover as a cameo.
Great video again. This place looks great and the van looks top notch. 🙂
😂 I know I miss him in the vids too😂
Outstanding Al, cracking video.
Hi Al, it was good to meet you at Fidden and glad you enjoyed your circuit of Iona. I think that beach you lunched on is on ‘Island of Storm’, named after what it’s like in Winter months!
It was a bit nippy at Fidden when the sun wasn’t out, it’s an exposed site, but that keeps the midges away! You need to get out more man!
Yes Mark great chatting. Glad you were making the most of your time and living the dream for a few weeks. I’m sure we will meet again👊
Hi Al, when you said you were converting your new van to go on some adventures, you really did mean it.
That was another fantastic film, I love the kayak and drone footage, the rocks and beaches were amazing.
The van setup appears to be working really well for you, you worked hard on the van conversion and deserve the amazing rewards.
Another epic film I didn’t want it to end, I look forward to the next episode, well done, full marks and five star in every aspect.
AMAZING, 🍻👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Wow thanks Chris👊. I’ll definitely be going to some amazing places in the future and hopefully my van takes me safely there
Brilliant video as always Al and certainly living the dream. What an adventure. I'm hitting the islands later in the summer and this is all the inspiration I needed. Cheers and enjoy the rest of it.
Good stuff enjoy your travels👍. Thanks Dan.
Awesome video! Your camera shots make us feel like we are right there with you😊 Thank you for taking us on these adventures!❤
Living the dream mate! Loving the setup 🤙🏻👍🏻
I am so lucky to find your channel. Its wonderful to see someone just simply enjoy the world around them. Thank you for sharing. 🇿🇦
Well I’m glad you found me and appreciate my adventures. Thanks mate👍
Awesome! What an adventure - luv'd it ❤
Excellent video pal, what an outstandingly beautiful area and the van worked a treat eh. Spot on 👌
Great little video. Some fantastic place's in the islands.
A fine, fine video Al. One of your best I would say. Shame Mr Blue wasnt there, I think you could teach him to paddle and looks like there’s room for him at the front of the kayak.
That was amazing, Al. What an absolutely beautiful place. Your kayaking skills have come along way since your first day on the water after getting it. You are going to have so many wonderful adventures with that kayak and your new over landing van. By the way, every time I see your van I'm constantly reminded what a great job you did designing and building that it. Well done!
I absolutely loved the scenery on this adventure. Thanks for this...exactly what I needed to give my day a boost!
If the Scottish Tourist Board offer you a job, none of us would be surprised! Awesome video buddy!
😂😂😂
Another awesome video. The van is looking mint.
I’ve been watching you for a long time now and you just get better and better. Some brilliant locations and really professional content. Cracking vehicle just one thing missing of course. His name is Blue. Take Care. Well done. Cheers. B. K
Great video mate. Living the dream on this trip
Just stunning.
Awesome. Loved the drone shots. Gravy Mate.
Totally amazing
Another great video. Those secluded beaches are amazing. Al your caddy looks great, certainly working well for you. Thanks for your fantastic posts, can’t wait for the next one. 😁👍
Loved that.
Absolutely fantastic. You have done a great job with the van. Well done! Love your camps but these kayak outings. just WOW.
That was wonderful! Thank you for sharing this with us!
Great video just missed blue love ❤️ dogs xx
Really enjoyed the video Al, such a beautiful place, and all those lovely hidden little beaches were just perfect. 👌😊
Excellent Al. Watching your Mull and Iona adventure had me forgetting I was watching a self-made video on CZcams. It felt like I was watching one of those programs for the lads on the Freeview network. This one presented like an embryonic tv show, as your homemade production values are quite high. Add in your personality and your colloquial narration amidst the fantastic locations and I'm sure there's a tv show in there waiting to breakout. Something to think about pitching maybe?
Awwwww thanks😊. I’m glad people can appreciate my basic filming and editing skills. I actually want to keep my videos quite raw so they feel more real 😬
Looked amazing cracking adventure 👌
Awesome mate!
Cheers big fella, I absolutely thoroughly enjoyed every second of this wee production you produced, much appreciated.
Smashing wee adventure Al , love my kayaking too, on a paddle like that the plastic Yak comes into it's own eh, 😄defo get yourself a wee helmet for exploring the rocky stuff mate, they're cheap as chips and worth every penny, good for mounting the GoPro as well, great POV shots for your vlogs too 👍 stay safe mate ATB. Live it & Love it
Absolutely fantastic Al, what a beautiful place. Good boat skill, lost count how many times I would have flipped it. Still managed to include drone stuff. The video that just kept giving.❤❤
You put so much effort into your videos, thank you. Apart from the endurance aspect of some of the activities that you do, you do them all twice because you set the camera up for a good shot! Amazing!
I don’t mind the extra fitness training 😂. Thanks Phil
Fantastic video....I 've just bought an inflatable Kayak, can't wait to get it used...thanks for the tips.......need a lake to practice in.
Absolutely stunning as usual. Thank you.
How beautiful, that beach was incredible, how lovey that would have been for a wild camp…..you’ll just have to go back again!! Glad you had the tracking device with you. Thanks again for the fantastic footage. Until the next one….❤❤
Cracking film 👍
Your kayak vds are EPIC; something I cannot and would not do--thanks for sharing!
Waow, that was stunning! A really interesting coastline, it looks so clean and fresh.
Amazing... ❤. Cheeky wild camp next time x
Brilliant video, what an amazing place
Stunning just stunning fella, everything you said you were going to do in the Van is coming to fruition, great life really enjoying what you're getting up to 👍😁
Picking up my new kayak next week !!
So Great timing and awesome video Al
Inspiring as always dude
Excellent mate enjoy it!
Looks amazing I love Scottish islands. So u abndond poor blue to go paddling I’m sure I could here him howling last night the sound drifting over the Pennines.
😂😂😂
Your smile says it all ….. your living the life 👍 one more fantastic footage
Would just like to say, your videos inspired me to try my first ever wild camp with two friends. Absolutely incredible experience for the last 2 nights in the Lake District with pretty challenging conditions having to set up camp ~500M on the sheltered side of a mountain after being moved over a fell wall….
Waking up surrounded by clouds of fog from below was surreal, can’t wait to try Brecon next!
Awesome mate total respect for getting out there. Keep planning more😉👍
Brilliant video I havent seen one of your videos for so long.... massive dopamine hit :) awesome work.
Excellent I’m glad you’re back. Thanks😊
This camera setup of yours on kayak is awesome!
It took some designing but it works really well😉👍
Magic Spam!! 😂
Hi Al, Absolutely loved this adventure. It’s definitely well worth all that hard graft you put in fitting the caddy out. Very jealous of the kayaking island hopping.. wow.. that beach.. thanks for sharing these amazing experiences. Top man.. keep doing what you do mate. Cheers Adam
Drone footage is coming along nicely 👍👍
2 cracking vids
Just brilliant mate! Fantastic camera work, thanks for bringing us along!
Fantastic, I had Fidden farm in mind for a camp , nice to see it , i was doing similar van camping and Kayaking at the silver sands of Morar last weekend.
I’ve been there and those beaches are incredible 👌
Miss the pup!!
WOW.... thanks Al for another amazing adventure...i'm hooked 😊 can't wait to see where your next adventure is going to be...but i😅 know it will be brilliant....thanks again & safe journeys 😊❤🥰🌞
I’m glad you like them 😊. Once I get sorted properly who knows where I’ll end up😬
hi allen love yr video iona is a beautiful place well we just got bk after completing nc500 it was absolutely fantastic but yr trip great 👍 👍
My favourite island, been years
spent an amazing Christmas on IONA, BACK IN 2017. Beautiful Place, water was a tad chilly but swam/ snorkelled everyday. making me missing it now. Another small gem is the isle of Luing. you can take your van there. if Anything even better snorkeling, beached are not as sandy. Thanks for the videos
There are some amazing places in the UK and many people never find them. I’ll have to check out Luing 👍👍👍thanks.
Absolutely amazing Al love your watching your videos 😮
Thanks Lorraine 😬
Both films ✅ scenery ✅ Seychelles beaches ( But slightly cooler sea temps) ✅ The van looks superb ✅ Top camping places in both films ✅ Happy Allen ✅ Drone footage and music ✅ Cheers Al for two superb adventures shared. Hope The Highlands and Islands Tourist Board have slipped you a few 💷s.Top stuff❤
😂 I wish they recognised my work. Cheers Mal as always 👍👍👍
Hi, Caz again from Uisken beach, we also circumnavigated Iona, that beach you landed on is only there at low tide is a Coral beach....its stunning, you were very lucky with the weather as there can be really big swells and standing waves plus white horses. We were in the sib so couldn't go so close and was rough. Brilliant video. Thank you x
Hi Caz! It’s an amazing little beach and a pleasure to stand on it
One word big Al . Fantastic man 👍🏕🏴
You smashed it.
You have done something most youtubers can’t do.
Which is become successful on their channel and then be able to switch the content and still be successful.
Outstanding.
Congratulations!
Inspiring!
Don’t stop.
I watch a channel called “ybs” Brodie is in the ocean all day with beautiful views and excursions and you done exactly that from the Uk in Scotland with no whales, sharks, huge lobsters, colourful fish and 40 degrees sun!
You smashed it!!!!!!
Thanks mate much appreciated. I’ll just do what I enjoy and hope others enjoy it👊
Great stuff dude 👍👍👍, not been across to the islands omg looks sooooooo beautiful. Been catching up on a few of your vids as not been about for a bit.
Wish I still had my camper 😉
A camper definitely opens up more opportunities to adventure. I’m sure you do miss it.
Thanks to you Al I got some lovely wallpaper for my iPad 😊

Well, Al. I'm not sure about the dad jokes but, I will use an Al word: EPIC! I'm loving this series and don't want it to end.
There will always be more adventures to come 😬😉
Awesome, what an adventure. Sure does look like a nice area, those island beaches are amazing. I enjoy the cooking parts of the videos even if the recipes are a bit barmy lol
😂😂😂
🌜🦋🦋 your van is perfect, you don’t need these big vehicles 🦋🦋🌛
I prefer small and simple😬
nice
New to your channel dude! Awesome content, epic drone footage. Keep up the excellent content 🤘🏼
Welcome buddy 👊
Cheers Bushman.. personally i like the hidden beaches more than the caves, tho both good.. top trip thus far ATB
Honestly Alen, that was a fantastic video, I didn't want it to end 😮. You definitely need to do more of these, hill and mountain views are great, but the sea is as beautiful too. Such a relaxing vlog to watch, thanks for sharing and see you on your next adventure ✌️ 🤙 🤟
Ps. Your van looks awesome 👌.
Thanks mate. I’ll keep mixing it up so it doesn’t get boring😉👍
It brings a smile to my face that you’re living your van life on your terms Renaissance Man. Thank you for taking us snorkeling with you. But dude, Spam?🤢. Heehee 😉
Nice one Al. Great scenery and amazing beaches, especially the one where you pulled the kyack upon to where the sea was to the left and right. How do you get the camera shots from the distance when you are paddling? It's like you have someone following alongside in another boat. Lively stuff. Cheers, Ozzy.
I made a floating camera mount👌
Wow❤❤❤ 🏴 Spotted lots of edible seaweed (bright green sea lettuce I think) could be a broccoli replacement 😉
I’ll bring you some back next time😉😂
You and broccoli!
Wowzwer, u never disappoint, remember that campsite, gorgeous!!! We watched the seals from there. Three words re Iona, told you so !!!!, That first beach i think was the one we found, we got the ferry over , ended up in a little village then walked the length of the island to fiind that beach, amazing place, cheered me up as not too good lately think my beagle of 12 might have cushings disease 😥
Poor thing. I hope your dog gets better
@@BUSHMANandBLUE well it's not Cushing's, getting tested for thyroid, liver probs or a mass next week 🤞🤞 thanks for your concern xx
How is bluey doing anyway, haven't seen him for ages?
Stunning place, your definitely more adventurous than me, Im not a fan of the water, but that looked amazing. Still....I think I'll stick to the mountains and wildcamping lol. Lovely relaxing video Al👍🏻
😂yes the water adds a lot more to the danger factor but it adds to the adventure 😬
Jesus too many people, Its like a haven campsite😀
Cracking beaches there Al - looks very nice. CZcams is paying you too much if you can afford SPAM though!! 🤣😆 no longer the food of the poor. Looks like you are having a great time on your jollies - enjoy!
😂 actually I questioned the price when I bought it. It nearly went back on the shelf😂
Epic ! Just Epic in all areas Al . Van seems it be working well but no doubt youll tweek it to near perfection. Chippie by any chance ?
Yes I can do all the trades mainly because I have an eye for the details😉👍
