VANLIFE IN THE SCOTTISH HIGHLANDS (Fort William and Glenfinnan Viaduct)

[@highlands2hammocks]

What about that waterfall in Glen Nevis?! Incredible! Have you visited any of these Hary Potter fil locations? Or can you recommend any others? We would love to hear them 😁 If you are planning your trip to Scotland then take the stress out of planning and check out all of our detailed guides on our website here - highlands2hammocks.co.uk

Have to say Trainspotting is one of my all time favorite movies!!! I've watched it so many times!!😁😂💜

[@christopherboyle35]

Genuinely think this content should be on tv. The production value and engaging narrative is as good as as you get, but authentic. Deserves the big screen. Reach out to some production companies

[@StevieSpiersPhotography]

BBC Scotland would be brilliant for Gemma and Campbell

[@highlands2hammocks]

Aww that’s so kind haha! Thank you 😊

[@highlands2hammocks]

So kind of you 😊

[@doubledutch13]

Steall was the highlight of my summer. Epic walk and views. ❤

[@highlands2hammocks]

It’s brilliant isn’t it! Glad you had a great time 😊

[@eonomus]

you guys make me want to get in my Motor home and go "RIGHT NOW" to Scotland. love love Scotland.

[@highlands2hammocks]

Aw you need to!

[@kimberlyhenry7717]

That waterfall was gorgeous!

[@suzybeetravels]

Lovely video, can't wait to see where you get to next.

[@highlands2hammocks]

Thank you Kathleen 🥰

[@mrshadenoughofallthis911]

You two are so charming and genuine. You are in my home country and all these sights remind me of my childhood. I love the real ups and downs of your adventures. And you seem to manage it all with great humour. 🙂

[@christine3358]

New subscriber, binged all week on everything since you left Guernsey! Just love watching your channel.

[@highlands2hammocks]

Aww so glad to hear you’re enjoying the videos! Thank you 😊

[@AndrewFulton]

I first did the NC500 route in 1992 so in my head, I invented the road trip... Skye for three days then up to Ullapool. Stopped in Kylesku for a fuel top-up (pumps long gone) then crossed the bridge which was amazing. The bridge and Kylesku Hotel has drawn me back for the last five years and I'm booked in again for three nights this summer. The trip down the East coast is also wonderful. I bought your book as a Christmas present to me... It's wonderful xx

This brought back memories when I was their with my family in 1998. I was able to video the steam train over the viaduct. We were staying in a rented house in Arisaig and saw the steam train up close in Mallaig. At the time we lived on the Black Isle near Culbokie and I worked in Inverness at the new store of Tesco. Nearly went to live near Aviemore at another new Tesco store. Love Aviemore, been back many times. As a photographer I have toured daily to many Highland locations. Now living in Norfolk good to see your travels.

[@highlands2hammocks]

Aww that sounds great that you saw the steam train! We will need to go back in season 😊 what a lovely place to live! Glad you are enjoying the videos 😁

[@rob20452]

[@simonportlock2235]

Thank you Linda 😁 and it was a shaky leg job but thanks haha! Take care

[@gwendolynfish2102]

Great “episode” guys! Haven’t watched for a while but our trip is getting closer and your tip about filling up with water at the same time as gas is a great one! We might bump into you as we 2ill be roaming for 6 weeks!

[@jennifermullan1691]

Great video. Love your content, been really needing inspiration for staycations. Can't wait to get back up to Fort William soon. Also thank for the website for vegan recipes, they all look so delicious!

[@highlands2hammocks]

Thank you Jennifer 😊 Always appreciate the kind words

[@annabethsarskullflower9623]

Hey guys really enjoyed this video! Looking forward to seeing Isle of Skye when I watch your videos pulls me back to Scotland, went for my honeymoon back last September it's so romantic and breathtaking 🥰

[@yaminthegrey]

Hari Om Bummer about the specs, Cam... but it begs the question, 'dont you need them for driving?' The trick for us wee shorthoosies on that wire-walk is to keep the hands UNDER the top wire, much better balance... another lovely wander through the hills and glens with you,young'uns. Keep 'em coming!!! YAM x

[@papthepole8629]

A up you too we are booked on the train in April so our little bus will be making its way to Haggis land. Happy campers 😌

[@highlands2hammocks]

We haven’t! Will need to add it to the list 😁 thanks!

[@amberlyn2.04]

Aye 🥰 lol never has one of my comments been in a video. Love you doing a Harry Potter themed video! I mean it’s only appropriate since Campbell looks like his twin 😂

[@highlands2hammocks]

Haha thanks for the inspiration! 😁

[@kevinsimpson64]

[@highlands2hammocks]

Hubby and I were there in September and it was crazy with tourists. It was lovely to see. Come to N. Ireland. You'll feel quite at home weather wise 🥶🤣

[@highlands2hammocks]

[@mcduff4284]

Guys get the fitting where it’s the plastic hand screw for gas bottle, saves mucking about with spanner’s

[@highlands2hammocks]

that does sound brilliant! Will need to look at that. We are hoping to get a refillable soon anyway, so wont have to worry about changing at all 😁 thanks for the recommendation!

[@stevepjackson]

Great vlog again guys and sorry you lost your Glasses Campbell. I'd be furious with myself . That drone footage of your Van looked pretty cool but really high. I've not plucked the courage up yet to try the follow me from my drone yet while in the van but I need to try it soon. We did the Isle of Skye a few years ago in a hire van. Loved it and look forward to seeing your trip around it. Keep it up guys and stay safe :-)

[@lornamcgunnigle962]

Hey guys just checking you're OK after today's storm and wind. Erskine Bridge was closed for a while. It was crazy. Hope you're OK 👍

[@Sssssssslf]

[@susancooper2996]

Great video love Scotland so much, for us it’s like where all we go for our holidays Scotland yeh.😀 First time we hired a motorhome 20yrs ago we did Glenfinnen, never seen the waterfall or castle so we need to check that one out. Keep up the good work love your foodie videos evan though we’re not vegans, love trying new things 👍 Ps went to Dumfries and Galloway last year was lovely 🥰

[@highlands2hammocks]

Aww lovely! That sounds like some great adventures you’ve had here 😁 hopefully you’ll be back for more soon!

[@graememckay9972]

Hagrids house was built on the hill next to the Clachaig Inn. Looked amazing until you went upto it and it was just scaffolding with a front. We parked for a night and woke in the morning to see we were a few miles from Glenfinnan. Decided to visit on spur of the moment. Walked up to the view point and it was packed with Asian tourists so we kept walking. 10 minutes later we realised what they were waiting on and went back just in time to see the Jackobite Express (Hogwart express) crossing. Followed the walkway all the way to the Glenfinnan station and down the other side to the monument at the bottom. Steam loco felt like it was alive, snorting animal. Hairs on the back of my neck stood on end. Hope you've stayed safe in this wind.

[@highlands2hammocks]

I'm not sure there is anything even there anymore, so its just the landscape that you can see now. Cannot wait for the train to start back again so we can see it going along 😍 you too mate! Stay safe

[@graememckay9972]

@@highlands2hammocks Hagrids was removed once filming was completed.

[@highlands2hammocks]

@@graememckay9972 yeah that sounds right

[@AnneMB955]

Our family has been so lucky with weather when travelling. So will we get 5 out of 7 days rain in Scotland? BTW, not putting me off.

[@highlands2hammocks]

On average I’d say yes haha but we do get some gorgeous summer months so hopefully you get that 😁 winter is pretty much non stop rain though up north

[@AnneMB955]

@@highlands2hammocks Thx for responding. 😁. We’ll be there October. That’s when hubby can get time off work. We have good raincoats. 😅

[@SBCBears]

Have I mentioned I'm reading thru Hamish Macbeth stories? Oft noted are the sudden weather changes, esp. rain and clouds and mist. (It's not fog you know, it's mist.) Speaking of Campbell lookalikes, someone matches exactly the description of Hamish Macbeth. 😄😄 Gemma doubles down on her Cloud 9 jammies. Comfy is as comfy does. (I'm wearing a similar robe as I write.)

[@anthonyelwick3600]

I'm an rv onwer in northeast America we just got 2 feet of snow are you guys cold all the time?

[@michaelvalentine8319]

Anything on drone restrictions flying at the viaduct?

[@highlands2hammocks]

There is no flying at the viaduct itself so we used stock footage 😁

[@juliaflint3387]

Hi , can I ask , you used water containers, bucket to fill the van. What is the water siphon called please? We like the look of this idea rather than a watering can.

[@highlands2hammocks]

Hey, it’s a whale pump that we use 😊

[@gazof-the-north1980]

I want to go to the Fort William area

[@highlands2hammocks]

It’s a beautiful part of Scotland 😁

[@code638]

I love Scotland and want to move there. Just dont know where. It is all so beautiful there. Since Im from Boston, but have lived in california for the past 35 yrs. What region of Scotland is the warmest?..lol.

[@highlands2hammocks]

It won’t be as cold as Boston in the winter at least 😂 we have a very mild climate here that sits just about freezing most of the time and rains a lot haha but because of that it is so green and lush!

[@campingboy9213]

On a few rivers here they have a cable car that you have to pull across by hand. Question. I didn't see it in this video, but I often see you putting a steering wheel/brake pedal lock and a vehicle tire lock on your RV. Are things really that bad in Scotland? Safe travels

[@johnallen148]

Hi Gemma Campbell,loved this blog we saw the railway viaduct very impressing ,yes we went in June and it rained most days ,Campbell you said your hands have never been so soft try washing up with Fairy Liquid lol like the advert says makes your hands so soft lol hehe 😜,,got to say you two take us to some beautiful places beautiful views it’s like being with you two stunning,Gemma the white thing around you neck is that separate from the rest of your clothes it looks so warm can I have it lol 😂,wow what a river crossing well down both of you be a bit of a job for me with one leg 🦵 lol 😆,,,,sorry you lost your Classes Campbell have you sent for a replacement pair?
