    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.

    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.

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 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

    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

      @@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 .?

      @ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures  Před rokem

      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

    Do you need a licence for the drone and what time of the year did you go as only just started with part 8😂

    • @ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures
      @ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures  Před rokem +1

      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!

    • @ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures
      @ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures  Před 2 lety +1

      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
