WILD SWIMMING NC500 | Birthday celebrations on the North Coast 500!

[@highlands2hammocks]

How incredible is that beach though?! Never seen water like it, never mind in Scotland 😍😝 Make sure you subscribe so you don't miss out on next week's NC500's video.. it is definitely one to remember (or for us to try and forget 😬). Plan your entire North Coast 500 route using the Destination NC500 detailed guidebook - highlands2hammocks.co.uk/product/destination-nc500-guide-book/

[@timjohnson67]

As a humble sassenach in my 70s, thank you for your bright, positive and fun videos. Please keep them coming and very best wishes to you both.

[@highlands2hammocks]

Always appreciate that mate! Glad we can show you our beautiful home country 😁

Hari OM Belated Greetings, Campbell... take it from a 60+ that you look like a toddler... does that make you feel better?!! Seriously, though, well done for taking time out at the pods and showing yet more glorious shots of my favourite mountain. The road via Drumbeg is possibly more scary than the Bealach Na Ba and I only did it in a wee car, but yes, trucks/lorries have to drive it so well done to Ellie who was, I am sure, just as happy to have a couple of days with still wheels. YAM xx

[@highlands2hammocks]

Haha thank you Yam 😁❤️ that definitely was a view to remember! We actually went back there and will be showing an even better view in a couple of videos time 😍 a sunrise to remember!

[@janedrews3255]

Im australian but my Dad a Scott, my Nan talked about Scotland a lot and so the landscape even though i havnt physically been there feels strangely familiar. Nan must have been a great story teller. You guys are great, The scenery is truly stunning. Enjoying your videos immensely thank you.

I'm blessed to be a west coast highlander. Our beaches are golden sands and Crystal blue waters. Shame many don't expect to see that when it's all I know. ❤

[@highlands2hammocks]

They sure are!! And so secluded, which is why we love them 😁

[@carlsadventures2361]

I hope you had a good day and your doing the NC500 at the right time of the year

Happy Birthday Campbell. We went to Achmelvich quite a number of years ago and stayed in a caravan on the beach. I went to the beach but didn’t go swimming…too cold for me. x

[@ianmcconnell7567]

Stunning beach! Gorgeous Scotland. Happy birthday, I really enjoyed that one, seeing the road (and lorry) is really useful and the odd break in a pod looks a nice option too. How do I order your book, through the website? Cheer guys, keep up the good work. Helping giving us a break from the constant rain here in Glencoe !!!!!

[@highlands2hammocks]

Can definitely recommend it! Would also check out our video in Brora to see their other pods in the east coast 😁thanks for all your support Ian, looking forward to sending out your book!

[@stevepjackson]

Great Vlog guys, Hope you had a great Birthday ! Loving these videos :)

[@highlands2hammocks]

Thank you so much Steve! We’re so glad you’re enjoying our videos! 😁

[@susanashcroft2674]

Happy Birthday! Loved the pods you have stayed in! I could see you renovating a property next to a loch or the sea in Scotland. May be another chapter to write in your book of life for the future hey? In the meantime keep on living out your dreams! As for being 28....you're only a youngster compered to me... I can't remember being 28!! 😃

[@highlands2hammocks]

Thank you so much Susan! The pods were really love 😊 haha I’d be lying if I said we hadn’t thought about it.. maybe one day!

[@Ontheroadagaintravels]

Loved the video guys 😍

[@highlands2hammocks]

Thanks so much guys 😁 so glad you enjoyed it!

[@toobydude41]

Happy belated Campbell! Nope, I don't see that many years on you. Now I hope there weren't 28 candles on that cake? Otherwise...uh oh, fire hazard! hehehe Seriously, I bet you couldn't have a sweeter human being to spoil you on a special day. Another cracking video guys. And my goodness how many rainbows have you spotted on this trip!!

[@highlands2hammocks]

Aww thank you so much Scott! We had a lovely day celebrating together 😁 we’ve seen so many rainbows! Nearly everyday another one pops up!

[@000caro555]

I want to go to these pods. Looks great x

[@highlands2hammocks]

They were amazing 😁

[@mrsj.blakey5048]

Just found your channel as we are buying our first motorhome …loving your posts! I have ordered your NC500 guidebook and can’t wait to start planning our own adventures. Can I just ask where is that gorgeous beach? I too love wild swimming and that beach looks divine. Thanks x

[@highlands2hammocks]

How exciting 😁 and we hope you like the book! This beach is Achmelvich on the west coast of the Nc500!

[@nickfoster4304]

Hi.I am loving your videos- so much so we are planning to do the nc500 in may 22. Having seen you having so much fun my wife and I can’t wait to experience some of the same.we are coming up from the south coast of England aiming for Inverness BUT,with your knowledge and experience which direction should we go-clockwise or anti-clockwise? Thanks and keep the vids coming.

[@highlands2hammocks]

Hey there! Lovely to meet you 😁 You are going to love it! I would recommend checking out our itinerary on our website, as well as all of the other detailed guides there for help planning 😁 we would definitely say counter as it saves the best till last!

[@jasonwojcikLR130]

love the beaches on the west coast, your braver than me going for a swim without a wet suit 👍 im used to the warmer waters of australia and thailand 😂

[@highlands2hammocks]

Aw man what I would give to be swimming there 😂😂 the things you do for the camera!

[@fliesbychris]

Happy birthday!!! Did you stay overnight at the wee harbour in Kinlochbervie?. Keep the vids coming!!! ATB Chris and Sue

[@highlands2hammocks]

Thank you very much Chris and Sue 😁 yeah we have stayed at that Harbour! It’s a brilliant little spot for vans! Have you been to it?

[@fliesbychris]

@@highlands2hammocks yea we stay there when we're in the area. It's really sheltered when it gets a wee bit windy (doesn't happen often in Scotland)😂.

[@rhionnamackay5293]

Did you by any chance hire your paddle boards for paddling at Loch Brora?

[@highlands2hammocks]

We didn’t as we have our own blow up one, but I know you can rent them in Brora 😁

[@yvonneboyes3436]

Hi guys enjoying all your videos but can you keep the background music down as I cannot hear your commentaries. Cheers

[@highlands2hammocks]

Thanks for the feedback! Will keep this in mind for future videos
