From Van Life to Cabin Life? The end of our road trip | Skye & Oban

We end our road trip on Skye, before heading back to Oban for a beautiful retreat in the wilderness at Inverlonan (gifted stay). This was the perfect way to end our time in Scotland and the dreamiest stay on the shores of Loch Nell. I'm now planning building my own cabin in the wilderness somewhere one day!

Honestly I wanna live in a place just like that, lake or ocean I don't care 😩. So simple , secluded a true sanctuary for peace and quite. That's the lifestyle I need.

[@garykirkham2972]

Hello Athena & Harvey. I have to say.. that was an absolute pleasure to watch, your story telling, your editing, your music.. just brilliant. Your adventures just get better and better Athena. Like most of your subscribers, can't wait to watch the next one.

[@RambleFamily]

Thanks so much Gary! So kind of you 😊

[@robjopling1573]

The videography keeps getting better and better!

[@RambleFamily]

Thanks Rob!

[@Telthecelt]

I agree the filming and drone were superb!

[@clairereid6974]

Definitely your best vlog yet, so so professional too! You deserve an absolute tonne of subscribers! Lovely to see you both enjoying what you love, I really really want to go to Skye, hey ho, one day... Thank you for such beautiful videos Athena (and Harvey) stay happy ❤️🐚

[@RambleFamily]

Aw thank you Claire, that is very kind of you to say. It’s was so much fun as always to edit this video and share it 😊

[@dalewalker7405]

This video should be under the definition of beauty in this dictionary ❤ what a wonderful thing to wake up to in the morning

[@evae4377]

I'm honestly so impressed with how well made this vlog is! Especially the drone shots and those details like descending the ladder of the bunkbed. But basically all of it is beautiful! It somewhat made my own mind calm down and de-stress a bit as well. But it crossed my mind how you filmed the last breakfast being all snuggled up in your chair at the fire, then getting up again to stop filming and calm down again afterwards. It's like those self timer pictures of myself and a friend with warm coffee in our hands at sunrise and less warm coffee after the picture is taken. Thank you for taking us along and the time and effort you put into your videos! Your passion really shines through :)

[@mattmitchell327]

Athena, seriously, just wow... 8:00 onwards is literally the most beautifully shot sequence I've seen on here in a long while. Its the dream, yours too I imagine. If only it were possible to live so simply always. Keep at it please, loving your vision

[@sarahk5724]

Such a serene and beautiful place. The little bothy is fabulous. Lovely vlog, thank you.

I was in Oban in 2000 and fell in love with the place. I agree with you it is a very beautiful place.

[@traceylasslett5514]

[@williammcdonald4922]

the sunset kiss..what a beautiful moment! this was one of the best YT videos i have ever seen. the videography, music and narration all came together perfectly. the drone shots fit wonderfully into the over-all aesthetic, very tastefully done. i've said this before, Athena you have an amazing "eye". Well done!

[@truegritcouture]

So beautiful! Filmed with so much care and love. Thank you! X

[@HD-dz4uk]

We did the same walk to corrie laggan, one of the best walks we did there. Listened to climbers on one of the faces it was that quiet. Enjoyed all the videos they really are getting very professional, keep up the good work and thanks for reminding me how good the whole country is.

[@neilwiltshire3730]

That was next level. Quality videography and excellent story telling. Simply stunning... Two thumbs

[@RambleFamily]

Thank you 😊

[@dantibbs6232]

Just Beautiful!..the location, scenery, the bothy, the videography & not forgetting you guys! Inspired to head out of Northumberland & see what's beyond the wall again.

[@summerb917]

Lovely video by you both, beautiful place to stay 👌👌

[@lizhindley]

This video came up in my feed and I am so glad I clicked on it. The filming, the music and your calming energy was just the thing to enjoy while winding down for the evening. I am subscribing for more. 🙂💖

[@snacklofter]

That was superb guys! Thank you.

[@melsparkles]

So beautiful, what a lovely wholesome experience for you both staying in the Bothy. Beautifully video'd too. TY:-)

[@scottbecker3485]

Such delightful immersion - thank you! And when spring rolls around again, I‘d definitely be up for a rustic cabin getaway in that magical place! Your attention and commitment to telling an appealing story must take quite a lot of premeditation and post-processing. Much appreciated!

[@melissacrewes-hartland4896]

Wow, bothy looks absolutely amazing

[@Cocomerise]

Athena & Harvey, thank you for sharing this video. I truly enjoyed it and you have done a fantastic job in taking us with you on this peaceful journey.

[@gedhayes-gerrard9990]

I have cycled all these areas you show and endured the harshness of what weather can be thrown at you, but just a moment of calmness in such beautiful locations makes up many times over the harshness endured. I love your videos and the music you choose, well done to you.

[@RubyTuesdayJB]

The way you’ve filmed this is just gorgeous! 😍

[@verykeen2please]

Another good video, we loved a couple of days in Skye on our way home. Man plays with fire and all that smoke should keep the wee midges at bay - safe trip home

[@nadiadesoysa218]

Thk you I love Scotland & yr Wildlife video, it s so beautiful on these islands. This brightened my day, we must take care of Mother Earth & Nature, God bless you & stay safe 😊

[@naomiashford4633]

Sitting watching with a cup of tea and honey, beautiful and calming as always😌 you deserve way more views, but hope you're aware of the wonderful impact you have on those who do watch your channel ❤️

[@lylecabras6197]

I love you this vid is so good, calming and feels like home 🥰

[@rvnomading6326]

What an amazing video. It's been a while since I felt this peaceful. Thanks for transforming me to your world for a few minutes.

[@caitgems1]

I used to love going to Skye during the summer holidays. Not been there in a while.

[@dessiediamond7414]

I’m sure the Bothy was a welcome change from van life, wonderful to see all local produce being used.

[@catfish9539]

This is the first video of yours I’ve seen and you just made me totally homesick! I moved to Canada 10 years ago from England but spent the longest time debating whether I wanted to move to the isle of skye after having the most beautiful two week holiday and numerous other holidays in the Highland. I absolutely fell in love with the isle of skye it such a beautiful area. We had the most amazing day going around the Cuillins on a rib in the sea, it was so much fun.

[@angelas6412]

You can seriously make my day!!!🙏🙏🙏❤

[@emilie3176]

I've already watched this video, but I'm having a rough day today so I had to re-watch some of your videos. They're such escapism, thank you 😌

[@davidurwin6860]

Just gorgeous!

What a unique place, would love to visit Oban some day. Your videos never stop to amaze me.

[@andykeeble1]

What a brilliant set of journals, loved every minute. My wife and I moved up to Skye last year and it has been the best move we could ever have made. I still pinch myself that we are actually "living the dream". x

[@RambleFamily]

Ah amazing! Skye is an incredible place 😊

[@garyshuttleworth3459]

hi new subscriber, just watched all your videos(1/2 term) really enjoyed them, looking forward to more of them, thank you for making and sharing them, we all need to get outside more particularly with this crazy year, sat safe
