We camped there in 1960, long before campsites. The road was single track, and it was in the days of the ferries, such as the Kylesku ferry. The weather was wet, windy and grey. We had a family saying when the weather was uniformly grey and wet, that it was a "Durness" day. Still, it was a memorable and wonderful place.
Love this….Sounds like wonderful memories despite the weather! We had a Durness day there too! It’s a Beautiful location in any weather but I'd like to see it in the sunshine at some point in the future! 😀 cheers...Andy&Michelle
Stayed at Sango sands at the end of june 5years ago. Everyone was outside watching the sunset way after midnight. Was only dark about 3 hours. Scotland is the most wonderful place.
I stayed at this campsite with my 2 daughters age 7 and 10 at the time. We have been to many places around the world. Nothing compares to the holiday we had here. The memories we had of this campsite will live with me forever. Your video has brought me to tears. Awesome
The Wife and I have just returned from a 7 day tour around the NC500, what an amazing experience we had, we hired a Motorhome and we loved it. We did a mixture of Wild Camping and Campsites, I would like to thank you both for all of your helpful videos.
Our favourite site of all time, we visited 2.5 years ago before the pandemic, I spent all evening watching 2 porpoise swimming from one end of the bay to the other - fantastic.
What a beautiful beach you named it correct paradise beach so beautiful along that part and the cave was stunning thank you so much for the ride till next time take care keep safe,John 🌹👏👀🇬🇧🥂😘😘
Thank you very much for sharing this video with us. The scenery around NC500 is stunning. Like your drone photography which gives many wonderful views of the coast of Scotland.
That is what a lot of the highland beaches are like. The views all around Scotland are outstanding and I am looking forward to getting back up their to visit my family and go on a trip around my old haunts.
@@ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures I aften wonder why you and scores of others on the route do not visit Oldshoremore beach and the TRULY AMAZING STUNNING BEAUTIFUL SANDWOOD BAY??!!.🏴🏴😎🏴🏴
@@neilanderson841 We didn't know about Oldshoremore beach and Sandwood Bay but do now and they are pinned on our map for a future visit! 🗺😀 Definitely agree - they are stunning!! 👍Cheers...Andy&Michelle
@@ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures Your most welcome. Always happy to share the glories of my BEAUTIFUL native land. Aye SANDWOOD BAY is stunning, 5 miles round trip I think, walking that is.🏴🏴🏴🏴
We need to go back and do a "Not the 500" trip, there just has to be so many other great places away from the 500. Enjoy your road trip and if you have any suggestions you know where to send them!! 😉 Cheers...Andy&Michelle
We stayed at Sango Sands back in May, it's a beautiful site, we scrambled down to the left hand bay where there were just us and another 3 people. The sun was shining when we were there :-)
We can only imagine what it would be like when the sun is shining ☀️, its a good excuse for us to go back again though, maybe we'll be lucky next time. (This was filmed May 11th &12th) Cheers...Andy&Michelle
What a beautiful place to have a pitch. Such an incredible view of the beach and sea. What a site! Epic music again too, youve nailed your vlog as always! We love watching your adventures!
Fantastic scenery, made all the better, I think by the mist and cloud, certainly gave it atmosphere. I mean how many times did Michelle mention the lack of Sun, beginning to sound like me. Loved the caves and wow that bridge was narrow at the beginning. Great viewing as always.
Yes I was thinking the same about the number of lack of sun comments! ☔️ Lots of narrow bridges in Scotland but the good thing is you don't need to worry about someone trying to squeeze past you! Cheers...Andy&Michelle
Really enjoying watching your trip around Scotland. You’re doing exactly what we want to do in a few years when we retire….and in the van I would like! Giving us confidence that these type of trips, on single track roads, are definitely possible! Thanks!
Glad you are enjoying our Scotland trip 😀 Surprisingly it's actually easy to drive on the single track roads because there are passing places everywhere and it avoids tight squeezes past others, in some places the road surfaces are not that great! Cheers...Andy&Michelle
We have long wanted to move our RV adventures over the pond from Canada and this is by far is the greatest inspiration to get off our behinds and get it done. Wonderful cinematography and you both look so happy. The Carthego looks interesting as well. We are just deciding on our mode of transport...
Hello from the other side of the pond! it's great to hear this has been an inspiration for you. There are so many diverse places to visit in the UK and Europe 😀 Canada is on our list for a tour in a few years time, you have everything there on a very grand scale 🏔 cheers...Andy&Michelle
Great vid,took me back to the early 80,s when I parked in almost the same place. My camper was a home made VW LT 45 2.4 DIESEL. Still have great memories and this vid bought them flooding back.Thankyou
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it 😀 Its great to know these places are timeless and the beauty stands the test of time(or rather property developers!) Cheers...Andy&Michelle
Thanks Janet, glad you liked the video and our music choices. Hope you enjoy some of our other videos, the music is a big part of what we do in our vlog😀 Cheers...Andy&Michelle
Many thanks for sharing your trip ,we want to do this in the nxt few years to make our memories together as my wife has just undergone major cancer surgery, fingers crossed she will be ok .we will only be having a 6mtr van so hopefully we will be able to do the full nc500 without to many problems, once again thank you both 😃x
It's a pleasure to share and thank you for watching and commenting. We send our best wishes for your wife ❤️ We found the NC500 a special experience, there's just something magical about the scenery and light that we haven't experienced anywhere else😀 The driving is absolutely fine, there are lots of passing places on the single track roads, in fact it's much easier than Cornwall or Wales 👍 Enjoy making your special memories...Andy&Michelle x
Nidge sorry to hear that best wishes for a speedy recovery. There is nothing to fear driving the NC500, narrow roads plenty of pulling places, you stop when it's on your side. BEALACH NA BA has a reputation for being scary but it's only at the very top with a couple of tight bends. It's a route to be savoured not rushed if possible. Any questions feel free to ask..
Brings back memories of a motorbike trip in 2008 on the way to Orkney was blistering sunshine that year though, glad i didnt have to sit through that rain
Hi Guys ,great blog very interesting and the scenery is beautiful,I done the west cost and isle of sky in June yes it rained everyday lol you must go to isle of sky it’s beautiful the cost road is stunning,on the main land the apple cross pass is mmm is fantastic bit narrow and the hairpin corners are tight as a duck bum lol
Hi John, glad you found it interesting, this was actually filmed back in May, just catching up on the editing! We also visited Skye, yes it was amazing😀👍 we also did the applecross pass, yes definitely an experience!! That video is about 3-4 down the line, Cheers…Andy&Michelle
Santo Sands Oasis, my favourite site on the NC500, I have been lucky to visit this site in 2016 and 2018 and had fabulous weather both times. Your video is outstanding as usual. I still have vids 6 & 7 to watch, thank you so much for a fabulous and entertaining episode. You are certainly doing the NC500 justice 😎😎
We camped up on that high level at sango sands on the cliff edge. The trouble was there were very high winds and the first night we were there, it was like sleeping in a tumble dryer. The wife had a panic attack, thinking we were going to be blown off the cliff because of it and we swapped with another van, it was the owner's birthday and she didn't mind the wind and wanted the view, so we gladly exchanged places.
@@ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures The very same 😃 we’ve got our Bailey 794T perched as close to the edge as we can. Absolutely the best pitch we have ever had 👍
Hi Guys, Really glad that you have enjoyed Scotland after watching you travel throughout Europe,I’m watching from Glasgow .We are off work next week and heading out west to Argyle where it’s nearly empty even though covid. Keep safe and fit on the bikes,we have them too. Cheers James
Yes James, we did really enjoy Scotland, it exceeded all our expectations and we'll definitely be back, I know theres so much more to explore, including Argyle 😀 Gotta love those bikes 😀🚵♀️ Have a great time, Cheers...Andy&Michelle
Most definitely one for the must do list😀 I don't think we'll ever be lucky enough to get pitch 60 again, but try for it when you do get to go, and make sure your brakes are good! 😀 Cheers...Andy&Michelle
Stunning footage and soundtrack again guys! 👌🏼 If you’re looking for some beaches to rival ‘Paradise’ beach then try and get over to the Isle of Harris (where we camped in summer ‘14) and you’ll think you’re in Barbados…until you dip your toes in the water that is… 🥶 Take care 👍🏼
Always on the look out for Paradise! 🏝 ☀️😀 Harris is definitely on the todo list so we'll look forward to that, and take a wetsuit!! Cheers...Andy&Michelle
Smoo cave was really good, in normal times they also do tours and activities there, I did spot a rope by the Waterfall, I wonder if abseiling is possible there 😀 Cheers...Andy&Michelle
Wow, well we might as well stop doing park up videos 😂 how could we ever beat that? Loved the fact that this video even included extreme driving. The caves are a must for our NC500 list 😍 we have seen so many NC500 Vlogs and this is Clares favourite so far. 😊
Wow back...Thats a great comment, thank you😊 Durness and Sango Sands is a must for the NC500, so beautiful there. The real Extreme driving is coming up in about 3 videos time!!. Cheers...Andy&Michelle
Outstanding as always. Was that the chocolate shop our poshcats visited last year? I wish you pair would retire and do this full time. You’re so good at this. Thank you 😉👍❤️
Thanks Jimmy, you are very kind! 😊 we do have plans afoot to do this full time in a couple of years, until then its a balancing act between work and our adventures, we can't wait! 😀 Poshcats could well have visited the chocolate shop, its one of those must do places if in the area. Cheers...Andy&Michelle
@@ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures brilliant. As soon as I win that lottery I’ll be buying myself a “katie” too. Fantastic layout. Such a cool home on wheels.👍❤️
Man that’s really remote countryside. Well put together video. We have a one year old motor home with only 1000km on it thanks mainly to COVID-19 lockdown. Looking forward to getting out once we get out of the current lockdown.
Thanks and it was remote. We needed to be travelling with a full tank of fuel and a fridge full of provisions. I'm sure it will feel really good to get out properly in your Motorhome when you are able. Cheers...Andy&Michelle
Great footage as usual, we are watching from Stornaway on a sunny day , but most days it's out with the RAB jackets that's Scotland isn't it. We enjoyed the chosen music to.Well done .
Watching from Stornaway, how nice 😀 we would love to be there. Yes, Scotland is definitely unpredictable with the weather, this video was one of our worst weather days but still worked out ok. Enjoy the rest of your time up there, Cheers...Andy&Michelle
Oh you sell it well, good old Scotland, four seasons in one day. We are going there for sure even if we are enjoying blue sky’s and beer gardens in Barmouth at the moment 😂 Every one gets better but that is the best for me, ticks every box! Well done guys! Great channel and content !
Thanks Ian, it was one of our favourite locations on the tour and would have stayed longer for sure if the weather had been kinder. No pressure for the next one then!! 🎬😳 Cheers...Andy&Michelle
Ian mcconnel Scotland is not as dreich weather wise as the myth says. I have enjoyed 40 years plus of exploring BONNIE SCOTLAND I can count the wet days on 3 hands. Have come back wi' sunburn & tan. Been up in every month bar February. Maybe I have been 'lucky'!!.🏴🏴🏴🏴😎😎
Just subscribed, fantastic videos and great reviews, we are hooked, your titisee vid brought back great memories for us when we went on motorbikes, must take our motorhome there now, cheers guys 👌
Hi guys. Fascinated by the benefits you get with that 3m pole. Have you got a video where you actually show it or can provide a link to it? Am doing the NC500/Skye in a couple of weeks and you’ve given me more places to visit after watching all your videos. No idea how I’m going to get it all in. I’m just another subscriber who can only say again how good your videos are. Thanks so much for sharing and the work that must be involved in editing them all together 😊👍🏻
Hi Stuart, really appreciate your comment about our videos😊 we were in Scotland for 5 weeks and still need to go back to visit the places we didn't have time for, if limited on time I would spend most of your time on the West Coast of the NC500, this is where the good stuff is😀 Re the Pole, to get the benefits in needs to be used with a 360 camera on the end as this allows you to choose the camera angle in the edit after filming. I don't have a video on the whole process at the moment but here are the amazon links: Pole - amzn.to/3pKfVVV I use the GoPro Max 360 Camera - amzn.to/3KTrcvP , another popular alternative 360 is the Insta360 ONE X2 - amzn.to/3LZEHds cheers...Andy&Michelle
Thanks, glad you liked it 😊 Yes, not much parking for Smoo Cave there. The campsite is ideal for it if you can get on it. Lots of love for cocoa mountain ☕️🍫 x
@@ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures we are actually in Dumfries at the moment, first time in Scotland for over 2 years and the place is overrun with MH but I’m sure the faze will wear off when some people start going abroad again - we hope 😀 it’s great you are back out having your adventures 👍 still 🤣🤣🤣 at your lockdown roots joke a fair few videos ago.
It is awesome, and we didn't get the weather but it was still good😀 we couldn't book but if you can do it as it gets busy, otherwise just turn up early like we did. We stayed at the John0Groats campsite, 2 mins from the harbour, only need 1 night as there's not much there, just the harbour and a hike to the stacks, cheers...Andy&Michelle
Hi, this is the route I will be doing, can you provide the dimensions of your travel home please? The bridge you crossed at Skelpick looked very narrow and would just like to plan ahead regarding passing over this. Many Thanks
Hi Danny, we are 7.5x2.23 there weren’t any times in Scotland where it was a squeeze to get through, there are a lot of single vehicle roads but passing places are everywhere, personally I found it easier than driving In Cornwall 😀 cheers.. Andy&Michelle
Hi, yes drones need to be registered with the CAA, you also will need to have a flyer id which you take a short online course and test. I've also take the A2 CofC course which reduces some of the law flying restrictions but this did take around 20hrs of study and the exam was much harder. Enjoy the rest of the Scotland series 😀 cheers...Andy&Michelle
a question...we're hiring a motor home for the 1st time in Scotland this summer with the thought that we might eventually buy one. On your many trips, how often do you book campsites ahead of time or do you leave a lot to chance? One of the great things about motor homing is the freedom it gives!
Hi, yes you are right, the freedom is one of the great things of Motorhoming 😀some sites get really full in advance but there are usually alternatives and we prefer to decide last minute, outside of peak season we never ok when abroad, in Scotland there are some really good sites that you can’t book, the key to getting on those is arrive early, cheers…Andy&Michelle

Ian mcconnel Scotland is not as dreich weather wise as the myth says. I have enjoyed 40 years plus of exploring BONNIE SCOTLAND I can count the wet days on 3 hands. Have come back wi' sunburn & tan. Been up in every month bar February. Maybe I have been 'lucky'!!.🏴🏴🏴🏴😎😎
Just subscribed, fantastic videos and great reviews, we are hooked, your titisee vid brought back great memories for us when we went on motorbikes, must take our motorhome there now, cheers guys 👌
Hey, thanks for subscribing, so good to hear you are enjoying our channel 😊 cheers…Andy&Michelle
Hi guys.
Fascinated by the benefits you get with that 3m pole. Have you got a video where you actually show it or can provide a link to it? Am doing the NC500/Skye in a couple of weeks and you’ve given me more places to visit after watching all your videos. No idea how I’m going to get it all in. I’m just another subscriber who can only say again how good your videos are. Thanks so much for sharing and the work that must be involved in editing them all together 😊👍🏻
Hi Stuart, really appreciate your comment about our videos😊 we were in Scotland for 5 weeks and still need to go back to visit the places we didn't have time for, if limited on time I would spend most of your time on the West Coast of the NC500, this is where the good stuff is😀 Re the Pole, to get the benefits in needs to be used with a 360 camera on the end as this allows you to choose the camera angle in the edit after filming. I don't have a video on the whole process at the moment but here are the amazon links: Pole - amzn.to/3pKfVVV I use the GoPro Max 360 Camera - amzn.to/3KTrcvP , another popular alternative 360 is the Insta360 ONE X2 - amzn.to/3LZEHds cheers...Andy&Michelle
Brilliant - thanks for that Andy 👍🏻
Fabulous vlog , we couldn’t find anywhere to park for Smoo cave when we went there a couple of years ago. We enjoyed cocoa mountain though .xxx
Thanks, glad you liked it 😊 Yes, not much parking for Smoo Cave there. The campsite is ideal for it if you can get on it. Lots of love for cocoa mountain ☕️🍫 x
@@ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures yes the chocolate was the best I’ve ever had !:0) xxx
I had that exact same spot 5 years ago. Not very pleasant in 40+ mph winds!
We were waiting for someone to say they were in the same spot 😀 It must have been quite scary in 40mph winds on the edge!! 💨😬 Cheers...Andy&Michelle
Amazing adventure, one I hope to be able to have myself one day…
Hopefully you do... 😀 so many of the places on the NC500 are magical and unique and need to be on everyone's bucket list 😀 Cheers...Andy&Michelle
Good rock fishing
Get your rods out and grill fresh caught fish
Ohhh now I like that idea… 🎣 Watching the sun go down.. sounds idyllic! 😃😃 Michelle and Andy
Great video 👍 we also had a front pitch @ Ullapool, great sunset there if you got one ?
Adrian, you are describing our next video before its even made!! 😀😉 Cheers...Andy&Michelle
@@ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures we are actually in Dumfries at the moment, first time in Scotland for over 2 years and the place is overrun with MH but I’m sure the faze will wear off when some people start going abroad again - we hope 😀 it’s great you are back out having your adventures 👍 still 🤣🤣🤣 at your lockdown roots joke a fair few videos ago.
I'm booking this place as looks awesome .. where did you stay in john o groats .?
It is awesome, and we didn't get the weather but it was still good😀 we couldn't book but if you can do it as it gets busy, otherwise just turn up early like we did. We stayed at the John0Groats campsite, 2 mins from the harbour, only need 1 night as there's not much there, just the harbour and a hike to the stacks, cheers...Andy&Michelle
Hi, this is the route I will be doing, can you provide the dimensions of your travel home please? The bridge you crossed at Skelpick looked very narrow and would just like to plan ahead regarding passing over this. Many Thanks
Hi Danny, we are 7.5x2.23 there weren’t any times in Scotland where it was a squeeze to get through, there are a lot of single vehicle roads but passing places are everywhere, personally I found it easier than driving In Cornwall 😀 cheers.. Andy&Michelle
Thanks so much for reply 😊👍
P.s great videos 👌
Many thanks, glad your enjoying.
Have a great time in Scotland 🏴
Do you need a licence for the drone and what time of the year did you go as only just started with part 8😂
Hi, yes drones need to be registered with the CAA, you also will need to have a flyer id which you take a short online course and test. I've also take the A2 CofC course which reduces some of the law flying restrictions but this did take around 20hrs of study and the exam was much harder. Enjoy the rest of the Scotland series 😀 cheers...Andy&Michelle
Amazing music guys and great vid......atmosphereic as fuck.
Glad you liked the music, we spent quite a lot of time finding the right tracks for this one! 🎶 Cheers...Andy&Michelle
a question...we're hiring a motor home for the 1st time in Scotland this summer with the thought that we might eventually buy one. On your many trips, how often do you book campsites ahead of time or do you leave a lot to chance? One of the great things about motor homing is the freedom it gives!
Hi, yes you are right, the freedom is one of the great things of Motorhoming 😀some sites get really full in advance but there are usually alternatives and we prefer to decide last minute, outside of peak season we never ok when abroad, in Scotland there are some really good sites that you can’t book, the key to getting on those is arrive early, cheers…Andy&Michelle
Fabulous video guys, you do great job. Are you both full time vanlifers?
Hi Andy, not full time, just try to get away at every opportunity 😀 glad you are enjoying the video’s…Andy&Michelle
I hope you get paid by the Scottish Tourist Board !
That would be nice, unfortunately we are still waiting for the call! 😂 cheers…Andy&Michelle
