Lovely to meet you Steve! Take care 😁

Great video thanks for sharing your amazing travel's . No place as beautiful as Bonnie Scotland ❤️

[@highlands2hammocks]

Glad you enjoyed it! I couldn't agree more mate 😁

[@GusExplores]

The zip line is a lot of fun but its the same views you get from the road. this is a great adventure I wish we had spent more time doing the NC500 thanks for sharing

[@highlands2hammocks]

We need to go back when the weather is a bit better as it looked awesome 😁

Love bringing you along with us 😁

Hi guys lovely video Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 is amazing

[@highlands2hammocks]

So amazing 😁 love exploring our bonnie home

[@andrewputman4299]

Can but only agree, we have been fortunate to have travelled to many places around the world. Scotland is truly a wonderful place to live. I moved here in 2003 from the south coast and love everything that Scotland offers.

[@highlands2hammocks]

Amazing, so glad you enjoy living here 😁❤️ where in Scotland do you live now, if you don't mind me asking?

Unreal scenery in that part of Scotland 😍😍

Beautiful ❤️

I see un-realness in every single video of yours!!!

[@lindao1327]

My favourite.....Smoo Cave! Loved it all really! Thanks for another great vlog. Looking forward to next week!

[@highlands2hammocks]

Smoo cave is definitely one of our favourites! The tour we did last time was so fascinating, wandering around in the caves of the Vikings. Incredible!

[@travellingwithcrowsfeet]

We truly enjoyed this vlog, you two are great on camera and your genuiness shines through. Thankyou for sharing parts of your homeland that we had no idea existed. Safe travels.

[@highlands2hammocks]

Glad you guys enjoyed it 😁 that feedback means so much to us as we always try to keep it real with a touch of beautiful countryside ❤️

[@toobydude41]

Hmm, favorite sight...so tough to choose! This gives new meaning to being like the kid in a candy store ..with seemingly unending splendor every single video! If I had to pick a spot in this one it would probably be the Kylesku Bridge. And I know you mentioned how the day started as a fail but those silver linings aren't so hard to find out there ! Eeek, close call with the hair dryer! No danger of fires with such gadgets over here...I think you can surmise why LOL. Another episode teeming with excellence guys!!!

[@highlands2hammocks]

Tell me about it! That bridge is high up on our list, the backdrop is insane! Haha luckily for us it is Autumn in Scotland, so its 90% rain 😂 thanks for watching!

[@yomamabinhavin]

So in love with home 😊❤️

[@maureend53]

I can't wait again to travel Scotland again see some places I've missed. Love your videos never miss one now I don't have to go to work 😃 I will be able to take my time and enjoy at a more relaxed pace xx

[@highlands2hammocks]

So exciting 😁 thanks for the support, hope you enjoy travelling with us ❤️

[@janetclasper2845]

Our favourite spot? Sango Sands - visited there in 2019 in a hire van while doing the NC500 and that trip was enough to convince us to buy our own motorhome and visit more of our beautiful country.

[@highlands2hammocks]

Sango Sands was absolutely rammed when we went, queued out the gate in the morning haha such a beautiful spot, we would have loved to stay there! That is very much the same as us, ever since we toured it a few years back we have been excited to explore more of Scotland 😁

[@000caro555]

Love you guys. X

Great video, we have done the NC500 one of our favourite places to stay was Latheronwheel Wheel, North of Inverness just of the A9 nice little spot for the night. Only found your channel today, so we are new subscribers😊

[@highlands2hammocks]

Will need to look that place up then, never heard of it 😁❤️ thanks for the recommendation!

Och a Hooleie Scotland. There it is. I love Scotland, all of it.

[@highlands2hammocks]

Thank you Stewart! Take care 😁

[@stevedock1279]

Great Vlog as usual, have recently found your channel and have enjoyed catching up with you. Your editing is perfect imo, not over edited like some of the vanlife vlogs, just natural, some seem to have to fill theirs with what they are cooking, how to cook it and even plug a cookbook they plan to bring out!? Will definitely be having one of your travel books, we would love to do the NC500 in our motorhome, the only thing that does put me off that it always appears so busy and finding parkups can be a pain? Would you recommend this time of year or is there a time that would be less busy? I fancy September but I think loads of people go on the route then! Keep things going and don’t change!

[@highlands2hammocks]

What great feedback! We always try to keep it interesting and up beat so I’m glad this is coming across 😁 thanks for continued support and for the interest in our book 😊❤️ means the world to us!

[@fliesbychris]

Done the NC500 a couple of years ago in dougalthecampervan, definitely preferred the West Coast section . We got an extra battery built into the camper,so now when we drive , all three batteries charge simultaneously and we can go off grid for about 4-5 days without worrying too much about flat batteries.

[@highlands2hammocks]

Yeah its a shame we had to do the west in winter, but it was going to be too busy to do first so we had to drive anticlockwise 😊 looking forward to going back in summer and smashign out some hills!

[@fliesbychris]

@@highlands2hammocks hopefully we'll be doing a 5 week tour of Scotland in the summer (2022), we stay in Germany but we always make it back home for a few weeks every year. Love the vlog!! We'll live it vicariously through you two until we get back over!!.

[@iainjarvie7905]

will you guys be going to the Love expo camper event in Aberdeen 4-7th November, would make for some good content i'm sure.

[@highlands2hammocks]

We are definitively think of going 😁 should be really interesting!

[@iainjarvie7905]

@@highlands2hammocks you should check out Cullykhan beach near Crovie and defo visit Crovie- park at top car park- no room to turn at bottom of hill with motorhome. 😀

[@sharonbrindley1335]

We're planning on buying a motorhome next year and the NC500 is the first trip I want to take. I love your videos, your presenting style, the fact that you show all aspects of living in a motorhome. How long is your motorhome? Wondering how big we can go for comfort and still negotiate those narrow winding roads.

[@highlands2hammocks]

That is very exciting!! We have just published a free guide on our website containing all the information you will need to tour in a motorhome 😁 ours is a 7.2m one and we didnt have any real problems touring

[@pamthevan7340]

This was the first trip we did in Pam the Van (feel free to look us up) and we did it in 10 days. Far too quick - this needs a good 3 - 4 weeks to get the most out of and that's one of next year's goals.

[@highlands2hammocks]

Will need to check it out 😁😁 we did that last time and always said we need to go back! Two months may be a bit too long haha but three to four weeks would be perfect!

[@martinberrisford1548]

Loch assnyt love it been there loads of timesyou lucky people

[@highlands2hammocks]

It’s a beautiful part of the world 😁

[@DarrenM]

We so want to do the NC 500 and explore scotland next year. So beautiful. How do you find signal and wifi for working?

[@highlands2hammocks]

Would recommend either April or September then mate as it will a LOT quieter then. Can't even imagine the chaos of the peak season haha April/May is the most beautiful time of year for Scotland anyway. The signal was patchy, but very easy to find. We didn't have any problems uploading videos and working every day 😊

[@yaminthegrey]

Hari OM As a world traveller too, I can but agree that this Bonny Land can hold itself high on the beauty stakes! The scenery never fails to remove the breath - even in the rain (or is that the buffeting of the wind???)!!! Any plans to come down round the Cowal and Argyll? Now, you really do need to look up the RoyPow pocket starter! (It comes with jump leads)... YAM xx

[@highlands2hammocks]

Absolutely! Always the same story, travel the world just to realise the best lies at your back ❤️😊 We will definitely be heading dow that was as well, any recommendations? 😁

[@yaminthegrey]

@@highlands2hammocks Hari Om - there are over 150 trails in Argyll and Bute, so could do worse than just do a search on that. (I have a couple of favoured websites, but have discovered that even putting links in the full written form tends to disappear my comments, so I can only hint... put in All and then Trails then search on that site for Argyll...I also recommend the Wild About Argyll site -written as one word - and select for Cowal.) But here close my Hutch (Dunoon) there's enough to keep anyone busy for a good wee while. Notable are Pucks Glen and Bishops Glen. Then there's the promenade all the way from Hunters Quay ferry terminal to the south end of West Bay... if you choose to do that we'll have to arrange a meet and greet!!! YAM xx

[@keithcutts3795]

Great Video Guys....We will be doing this tour next year about November and would you advise to take a generator and what type/power is yours please?

[@highlands2hammocks]

Thank you 😁 glad you enjoyed it! We used an Impax 1500w generator and it works a treat! Not very loud, if we put it on the other side of the van and walk 15m away you cant hear it over the wind. Highly recommend as a good backup!

Has the Charger thing not got a 12v Aux Plug to plug into your MH to charge up while your Driving it?

I have never heard of that before but I dont think it does unfortunately 🤨 we have a couple of ideas for power supply, such as solar and a B2B, so those will be our winter projects

Might have an answer to the midges problem guys. Try an Avon product called 'Skin so Soft'....apparently, the SAS & other military outfits swear by it. If you cant get it I have a bottle here and would be happy to send it to you to try....

[@highlands2hammocks]

Aw Skin So Soft got us through a LOT of Duke of Edinburgh hikes when we were younger haha! Unfortunately, I have to say in the worst of the midges, even Avon doesn't cut the mustard. They are just unstoppable! Great recommendation though 😁 thanks!

[@MOSSFEEN]

Get yourselves a NEW HEAVY DUTY COMMERCIAL VAN battery as the battery in van is Draining power to easily and with winter coming it could leave stranded completely no matter how much recharging ye do

[@highlands2hammocks]

Will need to look into that then as we need to get the power sorted before winter haha 😁 thanks!
