Incredible MULL. We start to get a taste of what this Island is all about.

[@douglashouston81]

Well that was a very moving vlog, poor bazar ? The bin, what did he do to be replaced that boy George? And will he get a smiling face or a sad face 🤣. Mull looking so peaceful, surely that's what it's all about 💤. I've just bought a jackory for the house in case of any power cuts this winter, and will also be useful at my son's small holding (yep got the solar panels) have a great week guys 😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@adventurevanfreddie]

Hi Douglas, many thanks for watching and for leaving the comment. Haha, yep, sadly the bin had seen better days our friend and it was time for a replacement. What we can't believe is that we managed to get the exact size bin in Mull....brilliant! As for George's face, time will tell buddy! Yep, Mull is a very peaceful place and a great place to just unwind. Ahh, the Jackery will be a useful addition for you. We've just been asked to review the new EcoFlow system, so we'll see what that's like. Much like yourself, we need portable power and a lot of it lol👍. Many thanks as always buddy, take care and stay safe. 👍🍻💙♥️🚐

[@kieranbuckley3256]

Thanks Tony and Claire for the Tips on Mull and Skye great to catch up again 👍 😀 welcome George to the Fab uploads 🇮🇪👍😀🚐

[@adventurevanfreddie]

Many thanks as always Kieran, hope this finds you well in sunny Ireland. Thanks for the warm welcome to George the bin lol, it means a lot haha👍. Thanks for watching and all the best.....'we must get ourselves on an Ireland adventure! 💙❤️👍🇮🇪

[@tamlyon4435]

Mull therapy ...beauty for the soul guys .🤗

[@adventurevanfreddie]

Totally agree with you there Tam, Mull is certainly a calming and beautiful place.....definitely a therapy!! Many thanks for watching and for taking the time to leave the comment. All the best as always.

[@darcygeorge7023]

Smashing. I got to get me, the wife and Walter (our van) up into Scotland and the Highlands. You two have this life measured up an absolute treat. All the best. RJ.

[@adventurevanfreddie]

Indeed you do RJ, we can't recommend Scotland more, it's an incredible country and is easily accessible. You'll not regret it buddy.....promise! All the very best and thanks again for your support.

[@ericlacey6593]

Thanks for another beautifully filmed video . As you say , so far on your journey Mull isn’t so dramatic , in fact to me the scenery is quite calming. Loved the drone shots . Take care and welcome to George 🤣🤣🚐👍

[@adventurevanfreddie]

Good morning Eric, many thanks for watching. Yes, definitely a more calming island with beautiful scenery, a very relaxing place indeed. Glad you enjoyed the footage. . Have a great week and all the best. Ps, thanks for your kind acceptance of George, it's very much appreciated lol 👍😂🍻

[@richiebainbridge2608]

All those tufts were strange. Nice easy watching, thanks.

[@adventurevanfreddie]

Hi there Richard, many thanks for watching. Yes, those tuffs were really strange. We've seen it before where small trees have been cut down and also where there are a lot of moles, but never so many in such a small area???? Very strange. Thanks again buddy and all the best.

[@robertstevenson3126]

We stayed at gallgary Bay on the top site 10 pound donation made our first ridge monkey steak pie in the rain beautiful

[@adventurevanfreddie]

Now that's an adventure right there Robert, not until you've made dinner in a Ridge Monkey in the rain are you a true 'adventurer'. Calgary Bay looked really nice, shame we couldn't get parked! Many thanks for watching and for leaving the comment. All the best. 👍🚐❤️

[@kenredgate3690]

,I'll guarantee that I too , won't get that bloody song out of my head till tomorrow . Some great advice on this one Tony , didn't no there was an app for public toilets , very handy . Great vlog as always mate , take care mate , regards from this sweet old seventy odd years old couple .

[@adventurevanfreddie]

Haha. Yep, it's still buzzing away in my head Ken, bloody tune is impossible to shake off lol. Yes mate, there are a few toilet finder apps now....thankfully. Helped us out in both the UK and abroad. A couple of sweet 'young' 70 year olds buddy!! Thanks as always mate, take care both!

[@Garncec]

Pmsl!! Loved it.

[@adventurevanfreddie]

Haha, thanks buddy for watching, 👍🍻. All the best as always.

[@Jalkie320]

We love Mull. Laid back and Calgary beach is a must

[@adventurevanfreddie]

Hi John. Yes, a fantastic place, absolutely laid back. Unfortunately, both times we've been to Calgary Bay, we've failed to get parked....too busy. It's still on the bucket list. Many thanks for watching and for leaving the comment. All the best.

[@doubledutch13]

Love you guys ❤

[@adventurevanfreddie]

Love back at you John for your kind words and continued support! Thank you!! 💙♥️👍🍻

[@lostlangley]

Top tip from someone who's lived here - skip Calgary beach, it's no where near as nice as the beaches down the Ross of Mull and always so busy. It's where the locals send the tourists so they get the best beaches to themselves 😅

[@adventurevanfreddie]

Hi Jasmine, many thanks for watching and for leaving the informative comment. Fancy keeping all the nice beaches to themselves, so greedy lol. Many thanks again, it's very much appreciated. Take care and all the very best, Tony and Claire.

[@asaandthemarchharepart267]

Hang on Tony, you just said you have watched the program haha. Oh that is bad lol. Mind you I do the little Claire dance at the start of your music hahaha

[@adventurevanfreddie]

Yep, I definitely should of edited that out.....fancy admitting that I'd watched it lol!! Haha, you do the Claire bikini shuffle, good on ya!!! Lmao!! Thanks for watching and for leaving the comment as always. 👌👍♥️🚐

[@debbiemclachlan6840]

I love mull….so different from skye but yes very beautiful..we didn’t have our van when we visited so we stayed in the western isles hotel overlooking Tobermory bay..was amazing..we hope to go back next year in our van xx

[@adventurevanfreddie]

Hi there Debbie, many thanks for watching and for leaving the comment. Yep, Mull is certainly a beautiful island ans we hope that you manage to get back soon. We're sure that you'll have an incredible visit if you go in your van, so much to see and do. Staying at Tobermory must have been great, such a lovely little harbour village. Many thanks again and safe travels when you get to them, all the best. Tony and Claire. Xx

[@markharris6507]

Simply stunning Mull looks a beautiful island. Yet another fantastically filmed video from you both, You are both so naturally gifted behind the camera.

[@adventurevanfreddie]

Many thanks Mark for such kind words, we truly appreciate your support. Yes, Mull is a beautiful island and is well worth a visit, we're glad that we listened to our subscribers who recommended it. Many thanks again for your kind comment, it's very much appreciated. All the very best, Tony and Claire.

[@geoffhughes453]

Hi guys. Another good vid to watch and enjoy. Mull is a lovely island to just slowly drive around and take your time looking at the scenery. Hope you are both keeping well. Take care guys.

[@adventurevanfreddie]

Hello Geoff. Thanks for the comment and for watching. Yes, definitely an island to slowly drive around and slowly relax. Time to take the foot off the accelerator and soak up the scenery....brilliant and beautiful Mull. Many thanks again and take care yourself buddy. Cheers.

[@theellmersadventures]

hello to both of you hope you ok great Vids as always I know I'm not commenting like I used to just seems harder since I started KZbin lol but I still watching and enjoying the vids you take care all the best

[@adventurevanfreddie]

Thanks J, we appreciate how difficult it becomes once you start a KZbin channel....no time to watch lol, we completely understand. We struggle with the data usage also, we eat it up when on the road uploading. Anyway mate, hope you're well on the way to recovery. Take care and all the best.

[@theellmersadventures]

@@adventurevanfreddie I know lol but always manage to catch up eventually lol and I'm doing ok thank you I'm getting there slowly 1 day at a time started driving a little and had MOT and passed with flying colours and he was shocked how clean underneath was as 12 years old lol and hasn't been cleaned for a year so that's good but we won't be using tent anymore as don't want to risk me leg so when we camp next once I'm healed will be in the caravan so it's easier for me all the best

[@StevenGodfrey3956]

Tony , there's special places for you my friend to help you when you can't stop singing what's the story in Balamory !! And to say you might have watched it !! 😲 Hopefully it was just the nice Scottish fresh air , but if it continues I promise I will do everything I can to get you help. Apart from this small worry it was another class act video and I hope Claire is still with it , sorry WELL and looking after you !!! 🤣🤣 Take care both of you and as always ......... Slàinte 🥃🥃

[@adventurevanfreddie]

Haha, yep, in the 'nut house' Steven, that's where I belong for sure lol. That song drove me nuts for days and days! Haha, yes, I'm beginning to regret owning up to watching Balamory; I definitely should have kept that to myself lol. Thanks for your offer of help.....i might need it! 😂🤣Yep, Claire's just about hanging on buddy...just about. And you our friend, take care, have a great week and all the best as always. 👍💙❤️🥃

[@fliesbychris]

Glad to see you're enjoying Mull. The roads on the west coast can get a wee bit adventurous for a campervan especially in the middle of the tourist season!!!. The views are truly spectacular. Looking forward to seeing next week's episode!!! ATB Chris.

[@adventurevanfreddie]

Hi there Chris, many thanks for watching. Yes, adventurous is certainly the word for the roads on Mull; I should imagine that it could get quite chaotic in the hight of tourist season. Absolutely, the views are spectacular and Mull has a beautiful feel....great place. Many thanks again for your support. ATB, Tony and Claire.

[@DunkfaeOotnAbootWiUs]

I drove Feisty along that road in August and your right it's very tight and not in good shape, it's a beautiful island but not quite Skye but then Skye isn't quite Harris lol... Dunk fae Oot n aboot wi us 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@adventurevanfreddie]

Very true, very true indeed Duncan; Mull is beautiful but not quite Skye....and Skye is not quite Harris. Just bloody found your channel buddy, we'll have a better look when we get data lol. New subscribers inbound!! We just watched your Iona vid.....now on our bucket list. Safe travels when you get to them and all the very best. Tony, Claire and Freddie.

[@DunkfaeOotnAbootWiUs]

@@adventurevanfreddie if you get a chance you'll see we've been to Dalraddy in the Cairngorms and done a couple of vlogs from there as well ....ps what colour are the panels on Freddie?

[@adventurevanfreddie]

@@DunkfaeOotnAbootWiUs Will do buddy!! The panels/vinyl are Forest Green metallic. We will be replacing them soon as they are now a little worse for wear, 3 years of narrow lanes has taken its toll on them. The lower stripes are hand rolled with Rustoleum Combicolor....great paint for rollering and can be polished. Hope this helps.

[@DunkfaeOotnAbootWiUs]

@@adventurevanfreddie I said that to Mrs Oot that they were green she said they were Grey lol now I can go and wind her up, I like that colour

Hello guys the birds are singing well 😄never been to mull but can see what you mean with the coloured buildings looking like Portree. Hope you have a nice time and get some good pictures. Enjoy guys take care ♥️

[@adventurevanfreddie]

Hello Liz, hope you're well. Haha, yep, the birds are certainly singing lol. Yes, very similar to Portree, very old, beautiful and colourful...Mull is a great place. Thank you, there will definitely be more pictures, our cameras are out most days lol. Many thanks again for your support, it's very much appreciated. Take care and all the best as always. 💙❤️👍🚐

Don't forget the beard on George. 😂

[@stevenabbotts7085]

last visited Mull October 2004 with a group of friends to watch the Isle of Mull rally our accomodation was not as posh as Freddy we all went in Landrovers converted into tiny campers mine being the most modern one 1981 series 3 short wheel base the oldest was 1966 must have been mad but fun travelled all the way from Shropshire just for 3 days

[@adventurevanfreddie]

Hi Steven, many thanks for watching and for leaving the comment. Wow, a true adventurer and sounds amazing...right up our street. We always said that if we didn't have the van, we'd settle for a Landy and a roof tent...however, we've been too spoilt now lol. It sounds like you had a great experience, even for the 3 days!! It must be about time for a return trip to Mull?!?! Many thanks again for your support, it's very much appreciated. All the best.

[@ianfromcorby]

Hi we are just back from Mull & Ulva, managed to get some fantastic drone footage the island was brilliant. Hope you both enjoy your time there. :-)

[@adventurevanfreddie]

Hi there Ian, many thanks for watching and for leaving the comment. If I'd known you were on Mull, we could have used your drone footage lol!! Glad to hear that you got some great footage! Many thanks again for watching and for leaving the kind comment. All the very best, Tony and Claire.

[@asaandthemarchharepart267]

Fabulous video both. What a fantastic place. Yeah we all do van checks. But we always miss something as you drive along haha. What was that. Ahh .Been lucky so far. The knocking tea over and dropping something while parked up happens more often. Keep loving being in some of the most beautiful places in the country. Fabulous to follow. Keep loving the Life Both X

[@adventurevanfreddie]

Glad to hear that we're not the only ones out there leaving things undone and having the odd clumsy moment lol. We will, we'll keep loving life on the road (when we can), its a great place to be. You also, enjoy your adventures when you get to them. All the very best, Tony and Claire. Got to go... time to pick up the teabag that didn't quite make it to the bin lol.

[@stevebrown6665]

Lovely Please could you tell me what the music is? Definitely a has bin :)

[@adventurevanfreddie]

Hi Steve, thanks for watching. Yes, ad soon as I am back on my laptop I'll let you know. All our songs are from Epidemic Sounds royalty free music. Haha, yep, definitely a has bin....brilliant!!, 🤣😂

Looks like you were there in the spring?

[@adventurevanfreddie]

Hi Veronica, many thanks for watching and for leaving the comment. Yes, late spring early summer. Our vids always run a few months behind. Many thanks again and all the best, Tony and Claire.

[@dcurleyifa]

Shame the tide was out at Tobermory, otherwise you may have seen the resident Otter feeding in the harbour.

[@adventurevanfreddie]

Arghh, that's a shame David. We would have lived to of seen the resident Otter, we didn't know one was there. We'll keep an eye out next time we're in Tobermory. Many thanks for watching and all the best.

[@dcurleyifa]

@@adventurevanfreddie did you get Chips and scallops from the trailer on the harbour wall? Not Cafe fish, and when were you both in Mull? I love Mull in October when the constant procession of vehicles ease on the circular road, it looked quiet when you were there.👏👏

[@teresasmith489]

Hiya what time of year did you go to Mull? Are you now full time photographers as you mentioned being on road for a month? We haven’t managed a trip to Scotland yet due to travel from iow, so for us a ferry and 800miles need more than a week or so, hoping next year will allow us more time. very inspired by your blogs. Don’t change, love the way you show locations, even info on attractions as well as advice on vanlife- so when would you recommend a trip to Mull or Skye? Teresa & Paul x

[@adventurevanfreddie]

Hi there Teresa and Paul, many thanks for watching and for leaving the comment. Yes, we are slowly moving towards becoming full time photographers, especially as Claire wraps up her Masters. We will always continue to photograph the landscapes, however, we also enjoy a wedding or two. For us, we enjoy Scotland out of the main tourist/holiday times. We normally visit around the early April/May, October/November time, although this adventure did continue through to June. You must make every effort to visit Scotland if you're able to, especially the West Coast and Hebrides, such magnificent places. If it was our first time travelling/visiting Scotland, knowing what we know, we would head straight to Etive Mor, travel through Glencoe and Fort William to Invergarry, up to Bon loyne and across to Sheil Bridge. From there continue to Eilean Donan Castle and around to Tornapress, north to Ardeslaig and Fearnbeg, continuing around the headland back toward the western approach to Bealach na Bà (Applecross Pass). That would make for a great week of adventure and if you are able to get 2 weeks holiday, then in the second week, we'd recommend Skye, especially as you'd be very close to the island. Mull is beautiful, but if you want epic.....!! Hope this helps and we truly hope you manage to get there. If you need any further information, don't hesitate to contact us....you know where we are lol. All the best and safe travels when you get to them. Tony and Claire. 👍💙❤️🚐🍻

[@gatersontour]

Great video of Mull. We went there years ago but think a visit back is in the cards! Thanks for the apps we do use most. How do you do what you do on your map? Thanks again for sharing your journey 😊

[@adventurevanfreddie]

Hi there. Many thanks for watching and for leaving the kind comment. Yep, you should definitely go back to Mull if you get the chance, it's such a beautiful place. I might have to do a video on the map/route thingy lol. I plot the route (live) in Google My Maps whilst recording my pc screen. I then take the footage over to Davinci Resolve, cut, speed up the clip and animate the page by using the clip/zoom function. To be fair, it's a time consuming pain in the backside, however, we've been doing it for so long now in our vids, it would be a shame to stop. I've searched everywhere for some form of software, but none exists at the level of detail (roads) that I can find. Hope this helps. Many thanks again for your support, it's very much appreciated.

OK, I have to ask as it's been bugging me for a while now.... Who's the music by? Sounds like our Local Hero, Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits fame.

[@adventurevanfreddie]

Hi Chris, sorry for not replying sooner. Haha, sometimes the music gets into your head lol. I'm hoping it's the song I play over the aerial footage.....if it is, the song is 'Always Been a Dreamer by Steffan Carlen' that reminds you of the wizard Knopfler??? Thanks for watching and for leaving the comment buddy. All the best.
