  • Hi, welcome back for part 2 of our epic NC500 vanlife wild camping road trip through the Scottish Highlands and beyond.
    In this episode, the weather continues to amaze and the roads remain empty.
    We finally get to drive over the awesome Kylesku Bridge and hit the infamous Applecross Pass.
    Although officially ending our own personal NC500 route via Fort William, we continue South down the West Coast to feast on more beautiful Scotland landscapes.
    A final journey breaker stop off in the Peak District concludes this outstanding, once in a lifetime trip.

    Surprisingly quiet. Reminds me of my last trip around what is now called NC500, back in '84, when it was rare to see a vehicle, let alone a camper van. Thanks for sharing this.

    Enjoying watching your videos as a newbie, such good shots of Scotland. We've just got back from renting a crafter for a few days and went to Glentress, Holy Island, Alnwick and Finchale Abbey. Never want to come home.

    • @OurVanTales
      @OurVanTales  Před 2 lety +1

      Cheers Alan 🙌
      I’d say that most of the route is do-able whilst towing a small caravan. I guess the stress levels would be heightened the busier the season. You’d be in & out of so many passing places round the North West and in convoy, it might drive you a little crazy 🤷‍♂️
      Also, bare in mind other less skilled drivers in hired MoHo’s will make your life more frustrating on the narrow sections 🤪😉
      It was so quiet in March, you’d have been ok but from pics & vids I’ve seen mid Summer, it maybe less enjoyable towing in certain sections.
      Are there any feeds regarding this on-line? I’m interested now to hear from a towing perspective from those who’ve done it 🙌👌

      @OurVanTales  Před 2 lety

      Lucky you guys, you’ll have an awesome time. I didn’t plan any of it, I just knew I’d start in Inverness & go round anti-clockwise. I absolutely loved it. Wild camping was ok although there was the typical ‘no overnight’ signs more than I expected. A data signal was pretty weak in some of the more isolated spots but generally ok. There are a number of campsites too if you come unstuck and a spattering of fuel pumps to keep you topped up.
      I do plan to go again with Lyndsey so I was happy to except missing out on a few obvious sights coz I want that buzz again! Have a blast! 🙌

      I’m happy with no signal too but there are times that work on the road requires it…..It does make me laugh tho when I see Motor Homers with their big TV’s - I mean why? 🤪😜🙌

    Can't help but notice the bit of dust on your mirror on your camera..quite a few videos are like this. Think you need to take the lens off and give it a dust and a air blow

      There's a little mirrorless cleaning kit from amazon you can buy. It's like £20 and honestly it's the best stuff ever. If you do what I do and do forget then when your order comes in from amazon you can do it that same day !

  • @markw1915

    For those of us that live on, or near the NC500, the past few years have become a nightmare for so many reasons, higher prices, more road restrictions, more sh1t left behind, less carparking, less food in the small local shops esp in summer. I could go on and on but most reading this don't live up here, and therefore dont have to suffer any of this, or care.. most think its fantastic and great publicity for Scotland, were you not aware of Scotland before CZcamsrs came and blocked the roads and left rubbish? Some clean up after them I agree, but its the majority that don't, and not just from the UK, a lot come from Europe. So just because you might not see it in your two week trip doesn't mean it doesn't happen, it does, and way more than you think or want to admit. Some of us live up here all year round, so thanks for the higher prices in the shops, and thanks for the lack of parking locally. There's a bigger picture than that one out of your front window, but most VanLifers are too focusd on likes, subs, clicks n views to see the impact they have made over the years, two weeks of the NC500 is hardly going to give you the same views as those that live on or near the NC500 is it. You can choose to leave if the weather turns or you have a bad experience or dont like it for XYZ reasons, and some of us live up here and see a totally different place, even in just the past 10yrs. To busy living the algorithm to see the truth. Moaning at someone for 'simply driving past' and ruining your vlog is exactly that selfish frame of mind I'm on about. Bigger picture matey, there's a way bigger picture than most of you CZcamsrs will ever see.
