OUTER HEBRIDES FREE AIRE - VAN LIFE

[@Kermit-Si]

That little church looks amazing, when I saw you, Ellie sitting in there, it made me start thinking of all the generations over the years that have come to worship there. That beach looked wonderful, the doggies 🐕 🐕🐕 really enjoyed it. I bet that water was cold, Ellie 😂 Looking forward to the next episode 👍🐸

[@Wizardinthewild]

Hi Kermit. There really was a sense of history in that church and all the prayers that have been said over the centuries. The water was jolly cold! Jazz had the right idea. Run like crazy! thanks for watching and enjoy the rest of your weekend. ❤️😊👍🚐

[@NBNatureTrailvan]

Very very beautiful. The coastline is just so spectacular! And that wonderful little Church out on its own in those wild fields. Sometimes a place can get to you. Whether it be a building or a natural setting. I always find a Church, however big or however small is a place to just sit and reflect and clear your mind. For me, a little mere near us, is my place to just sit and watch the world, Sunrises, nature and just total natural beauty. That beach is amazing - I have to say Lewis is a stunner!!

[@Wizardinthewild]

Hi Dave and Sue. Thanks for your lovely comment. Yes these islands certainly seem to fit our personalities. I can feel we need to go back. There is so much we missed. Your approach to nature seems to be similar to ours. Lovely isn’t it. Have a great weekend home or away. 🐶🐶🐶🚐🙏🧙‍♂️

[@NBNatureTrailvan]

@@Wizardinthewild thanks guys. We’re travelling down to Clumber Park. Don’t like the look of the gales forecast but it’s just a great life! 😃

[@ruthkirby9277]

Finding places and beaches like that are good for the soul and when there is no other soul around even better.🙂

[@Wizardinthewild]

Yes Ruth. These islands do suit our personality for sure. Glad you enjoyed it. 🐶🐶🐶🚐🧙‍♂️🙏

Hello Ellie and Graham, watched your lovely video. The church was beautiful, lovely to look around. The sea views were stunning. Loved watching the dogs playing down on the beach. Thank you for sharing xx Julie Tony and Archie xx

[@Wizardinthewild]

Hi. Thank you for watching. Pleased you enjoyed it. Bet Archie would like that beach 😉. Take care 👍😊❤️🚐

[@glynnisross7974]

What a beautiful area and just loved watching the dogs running and enjoying the sand, sea and sunshine. Jazz really is a wonder. The church was amazing and lovely in its peace and serenity. I too find that when I visit remote churches and Lindisfarne and Walsingham are two to mention. ❤

[@Wizardinthewild]

Hi Glynnis. Thanks for your lovely comments. We are being spoilt with beautiful beaches. Churches are very special places that I think seem to hold all the prayers that have been said over the years. Lindisfarne is on our list😉. Take care 👍😊❤️🚐

[@timw2973]

Merlin definitely looked clean 😉. The church looked nice especially with the lovely stain glass window. That bay/beach was stunning with clear blue water and lovely sandy beach - even managed a paddle Ellie 😂.

[@Wizardinthewild]

Yeah was lovely Tim. We have a yearning to go back…. Soon. Glad you liked the vlog. 🐶🐶🐶🚐🧙‍♂️🙏👍

[@sophialoo3104]

What a beautiful beach at the end of the video. The church was unique and beautiful. Thank you for the video. Send my love to the fur-girls please.

[@Wizardinthewild]

Hi Sophia. So many beautiful beaches on the Outer Hebrides as you will see. We were blown away by them. ( sometimes literally 🤣) Thank you for watching❤️. Will give the fur babies your love 🐶🐶🐶❤️👍😊🚐

[@LeisureBit]

The bays look so beautiful. You forget that peat is used as a fuel. Very interesting church and story Ellie. The sea looks such a lovely colour. Great to see the girls having fun on the beach. So lovely how peaceful it is too…. You’d already convinced us to visit in the previous vlogs but this just adds to it! All the very best, David & Rachel 👍

[@Wizardinthewild]

Glad you enjoyed it both. It’s interesting editing this a few months on. Brings it all back. Hope you guys are enjoying your 2024. We are away to a site next week. Determined to get some R&R in. Have a great weekend home or away.

[@tylerstravels0610]

Lovely video, love watching the dogs running about on the beach, they have such fun 🙂 That little church looked amazing, take care Trev Debz and Tyler x x

[@Wizardinthewild]

Thanks guys. Glad you enjoyed it. Have a great weekend home or away 🐶🐶🐶🚐🙏👍🧙‍♂️

[@michaelmartin200]

What beautiful breathtaking scenery, thank you for taking us along. My best regards. Love Michael uk care home resident

[@Wizardinthewild]

Thanks so much Michael. As we said before it means so much to get lovely comments. Plenty more to come. 🐶🐶🐶🚐🙏🧙‍♂️ x

[@vansforthememories]

What an interesting church & that beach was just beautiful 😍 Jazz is a wee pocket rocket 😂 Thank you, Em & G 💜

[@Wizardinthewild]

That church was a wonderful healing place. I can’t describe the vibes there! It’s Jazz’s gotcha day today. One whole year! Where did that go? Thanks for watching 😊❤️

[@rachaelghostcat8584]

What a beautiful place to visit, the church looked so serene would be a great place to get married. The beach looked amazing so clean, I wonder if it gets packed out with people in the summer? The dogs were having a great time and little Jazz made me laugh running energetically around, like she has got energize batteries in her, LOL. Great vlog and thanks for taking us along!

[@Wizardinthewild]

Hi Rachael. Thanks for watching. Make sure it’s a summer wedding 🤣 But yes. What a beautiful location. I don’t think the beaches get as crowded as down south. Jazz never ceases to amaze us. She doesn’t want to miss a thing! Thanks for fuelling those batteries 😉take care 😊👍❤️🚐

[@roaminginraymond]

I love a Celtic Cross and the church looked very simple but a pretty stained glass window. What a lovely beach cove, so pretty and the sea was a beautiful colour. All to yourselves too, just wonderful. Think we'd have stayed there as long as it wasn't too windy.

[@Wizardinthewild]

Thanks for that lovely message Helen. You would love the Outer Hebrides and they do make it easy for Motorhomes. It is often very windy though. We had some very rocky nights as you will see. Thank you 🐶🐶🐶🚐🧙‍♂️🙏

[@betsymurphy4241]

I am thoroughly enjoying the Outer Hebides!!❤

[@Wizardinthewild]

That’s so good to hear. That’s why we produce these videos. Plenty more to come. 🐶🐶🐶🚐🧙‍♂️🙏

[@getawaygeese]

Love a free Aire or a reasonably priced air as sometimes you just need to parkup and sleep and spend the days on the views Beautiful little church and a great little cove despite getting wet

[@Wizardinthewild]

Thanks very much guys. Hope you are safe in Ireland with all these winds. 🙏🐶🐶🐶🚐🧙‍♂️

[@Wheres_wanda_wandering]

The beach looked like a little piece of paradise. Take care Gill

[@Wizardinthewild]

Wax beautiful Gill. You would love it. Thanks for watching and commenting. 🚐🐶🐶🐶👍🙏

[@karlospappy8908]

Park up looked great as did the beach, supermarkets and pubs make me emotional😎 Cheers K.

[@Wizardinthewild]

They make Graham emotional too 😉. Thanks for watching 👍❤️😊🚐

[@ray906]

Really loved the guided tour around the old church. Felt the peace and stillness from your vlog. Brought a tear to our eyes too. Wow what a beautiful beach. Enjoyed seeing the girls running around having fun 😊Also the amazing colour of the water. Stunning. Can't wait for the next installment. Love Ray and Nicola xx

[@Wizardinthewild]

So pleased you both enjoy the vlog. Was a good video to do. A most enjoyable place to visit. Love to you both 🐶🐶🐶🚐🙏🧙‍♂️

[@janetbowen7854]

Wow, absolutely stunning, fabulous beach for the dogs. My dog would love this. One day we will make it that far north in our campervan 😄🚐🐶❤️

[@Wizardinthewild]

Off grid is so easy there Janet. We tend to go out of season so it was perfect. If you want sites there are plenty but best to book first. Many sites close for out of season. The beaches are to die for. Often we were the only ones there. What Campervan do you have? Sorry I’m quite nosy 🤣

[@janetbowen7854]

@@Wizardinthewild 😄 We have a Bilbo's VW LWB T6.1. Our dog is a German Short Haired Pointer, he loves camping, we've never camped away from campsites but we admire those brave enough to do so😄🚐

[@Wizardinthewild]

@@janetbowen7854 very nice to. Ken and Carol nearly got a Bilbo’s as you most likely know. We used to live about 2 miles from them. Nice van conversions. 👍🚐

[@DesmondsDonders]

Lovely video and a fantastic description of the church. We did not stop on our visit as there was something going on. I believe that churches should be more like that with less glitz and glitter. Looking forward to more day 8.

[@Wizardinthewild]

Thank you. Glad you liked the video. It’s a great place isn’t it. Take care. 🐶🐶🐶🚐🙏🧙‍♂️

[@Anna-ib3xb]

Thank you for this video. We hope to be on that beach very soon! We found your description and experience of the church very thoughtful.

[@Wizardinthewild]

Awww brilliant. There are so many gorgeous beaches. I hope the weather is kind to you. It’s a lovely place for sure. The church! Well it was a very emotional experience. That’s all I can say except maybe peaceful. You’ve reminded me of it all. Want to go back. Do let us know how you get on. Maybe think about joining our Facebook group. 👍🙏🧙‍♂️🚐🐶🐶🐶

[@LifeistooshortCK]

That was lovely. We really enjoyed Ellie’s narration in the church and her feelings were conveyed so well. We are moved to a tear from time to time as you will see soon. Wonderful trip so far so thanks for sharing ❤

[@Wizardinthewild]

Thank you. Funny how some places cut through and really get to you. We really miss the Outer Hebrides. It’s a place that calls you back! Take care both 👍😊❤️🚐

[@vanandcountry]

That looks wonderful and thank you for taking the time to create the video. Looking forward to seeing Ellie 'surfing' in future episodes. 🙂

[@Wizardinthewild]

Thanks Chris and I hope you are fully recovered. I see you are producing videos again. 👏. Glad you enjoyed it. 🐶🐶🐶🧙‍♂️🚐🙏

[@vanandcountry]

Yes the recovery is going well thank you. Yes getting back to all these things now. BTW - also chatting with Sunstore about a Diesel heater install...

[@Wizardinthewild]

@@vanandcountry they did a good job for us 👍.

[@charlottewhitehouse261]

I would love to stay there! Xx

[@Wizardinthewild]

Little Ellie would love it and the dogs would love the beaches. Glad you enjoyed it. 🐶🐶🐶🚐🧙‍♂️🙏

[@kevinwinspear1280]

Another great video, I subscribed awhile ago, always look forward to watching them. I'm new to campervans and thinking of buying a (CV40 - 2024 with solar panel) but my worries are I hear a lot that one needs to charge the vehicle battery every one-two weeks, if not using the van, i.e. If it's on the driveway in winter more than a week - hookl it up - is this right? As if I go wild camping and get where ever and planning to stay for more than a week will I need to move i.e drive for 30 mins and return to charge the vehicle battery? Looking forward to the next episode...

[@Wizardinthewild]

Hi Kevin. Thank you for watching. How exciting that you are planning on maybe buying a CV40. We love ours. Re the vehicle battery, we trickle charge the camper when not using it for a while by using a battery maintainer every 10 days for about a day each time. That keeps it topped up. To be honest we’ve never stopped in one place for a week without moving the van but would like to think it should be ok. Have you joined the CV Owners Facebook group? I bet there are owners who have stayed in one place for more than a week who can reassure you. Keep us posted about your plans 😊👍❤️🚐

[@Panzerman1951]

Absolutely staggering scenery! This must have been an epic experience! Interested to know what camera and video editing software you use? We bought a GoPro Hero 11 last year and, sadly, it never came out of its case while we were away last year. What a mistake. It's now being put to good use and will be ready to record our forthcoming adventures. Getting to grips with Adobe Premier Pro is interesting too but getting there. Keep up the great work guys and stay safe!! Happy New Year too. Sid and Nicola, Rugby.

[@vanandcountry]

I use Premiere Pro as well but it does have a learning curve. Good luck and look forward to seeing the videos. Chris.

[@Wizardinthewild]

Lovely to hear from you Sid and Nicola. So pleased you enjoyed that vlog. Loving reviewing all the video clips as I’m editing the video. Brings it all back into focus what we did. I use the GoPro 11 most of the time now. If I need a second camera recording I use my old GoPro 7. Ellie uses her iPhone 15 which is recent but before that she used iPhone 12. On occasions I also use my iPhone which is the 12. For processing I use Filmora. It’s not without occasional issues but I’m sticking with it as I don’t have the time to learn something else. Look forward to seeing your videos 👍 thank you 🐶🐶🐶🧙‍♂️🚐🙏
