The BEST of LEWIS & HARRIS

We definitely saved the best till last when exploring the Isle fo Lewis and Harris.
Our final few days on the Isle Lewis & Harris didn't disappoint. Even though the last few days we're subjected us to storms and heavy rain, the beauty of the Western Isles of Lewis and Harris left you speechless and wanting to come back and see more of this stunning island. What an amazing experience to have shared a dream of mine to visit Lewis and Harris with Marco, Tina and Caesar from ‪@HakunaMaPumbaa‬, we have had the best time and loved every min sharing these adventures with them ❤️
If you have never been to the Outer Hebrides, especially Lewis and Harris, then please book a ticket, and explore and visit the many attractions the island has and of course its stunning golden white sanded beaches.

Hey :) I’m Rob and my dog is called Archie (airedale terrier) and I've been living full time on the road since 2020. This journey began when I left the UK Armed Forces and retired and now spend the rest of my life travelling with the dog while living full time in our self converted van called Shaky. Living the van life enables me to travel, experience and document the beauty of this world and be with my dog 24/7. It's all about the journey, the destination and the adventure.. with good friends along the way! See you on the road soon! 🚐 #vanlife

We're exploring the Outer Hebrides in our campervan this Easter so we enjoyed watching these 3 videos for inspiration. We can't wait! Thanks for sharing N&Nx

[@PackTheVanAndGo]

Wishing you a wonderful time on your Easter trip! It’s truly a magical place to explore! Stay safe guys

[@HakunaMaPumbaa]

The last few days on L&H we have been treated very stormy and rainy😁 A stunning white sand beach and an into the wild movie set follows the big slap into our face 🥴😵😵‍💫 We loved the video ❤ fantastic editing!

[@PackTheVanAndGo]

We've had a great set of adventures this winter together! What a friendship that started randomly last year and started again in the Cairngorms... Lewis & Harris was a dream that you guys helped make come true! and for that and your friendship! I cannot thank you enough! ❤❤❤

[@HakunaMaPumbaa]

Love Harris and Lewis, going back in August taking in the smaller islands of uists.

[@PackTheVanAndGo]

I’m def going back also at some stage, missed a trick not going to the Uists and exploring them! Hope you have a wonderful time!

Stunning. I am going to take the bike up that way some time.

[@PackTheVanAndGo]

The whole island is made for bikes, if you come this ay make sure you head over to North Uist as it looks even better biking roads! Hope you and the family are well?

[@leemillington7164]

Epic adventure 😎

[@PackTheVanAndGo]

The best one yet, well apart from Europe in 2021 🤷🏼‍♂️😂

[@lth1072]

Great video again, mate. I'd love to know the story behind that bus. I'm surprised someone hasnt tried to make it into a tiny home. The ruined cottage at 18:25 would make an amazing house as well.

[@PackTheVanAndGo]

The bus has already been converted inside, but its been damaged by the weather and vandals, no idea about the history as there was no one around to talk to about it! And the whole island there are so many ruined houses that could be re built and lived in!

[@lth1072]

@@PackTheVanAndGo Nice, I wouldn't mind having the funds to restore one of those old cottages

I’d definitely recommend Arran although not in the same region as it’s like Scotland in miniature Great video, and it’s good to see some proper weather No such thing as bad weather just the wrong clothes

[@PackTheVanAndGo]

Yeah Arran is stunning, small, yet stunning! Hope you're well?

Derren done the same with his finger and the drone a few days ago 🤣🤣🤣xx

[@PackTheVanAndGo]

It bloody hurts, what made it worse was the freezing temperatures and my hands were frozen.. Hope Derrens fingers are ok? and hope you guys are well? xx

[@TheBabblingBrookes]

@@PackTheVanAndGo Derren can’t afford to lose any more digits….but his little finger took an extra slice 🤣 Great drone footage on this as well…although it did look a little tricky when you were doing the follow over the single track road 😍 xx

[@PackTheVanAndGo]

@@TheBabblingBrookes Yeah tell him, lease don't lose any more digits! It was hard, as it was on active track and lost track as I went over the bridge, so had to fly it while driving 😂😂 not my greatest moment but made for good footage! xx

[@shirleymurray2232]

We never see you cooking or eating.. we need to see this!

[@PackTheVanAndGo]

It’s because I hate cooking.. and prefer not to film anything about eating or my attempts at cooking 👍

[@asaandthemarchharepart2903]

Fabulous video Rob. Potato scones, delicious 😋 Only sad thing about exploring Scotland was everything closed till February/ March. Tina's face haha is that a jar in my pocket 😅 Definitely going to be visiting the Isles in the future. Absolutely awesome mate. Safe Travels Both 🐶

[@PackTheVanAndGo]

Hey mate, yeah its sad that is all closed till March, but also great in a way as its so quiet and we only ever saw one other van the whole two weeks! Yeah Tinas face, that the military in me with my humour 😂😂 You def need to go visit mate, you'd love it! We hope you're well this week?

[@asaandthemarchharepart2903]

@PackTheVanAndGo Good thanks mate. Totally agree with you about being quiet. I'm well happy with that. Van stocked up and peaceful exploring. Never saw anyone while walking the countryside while up there. Only when back at the carpark there might be people about. Well happy.

[@PackTheVanAndGo]

@@asaandthemarchharepart2903 Id like to go back and explore more, maybe another winter trip and spend longer and explore slower this time, still so many parts of the islands I didn't get to see!

[@SDB1957]

I enjoy watching your vlogs as your drone imagery is excellent! Your music tracks are also very good….where do you source your music from?

[@PackTheVanAndGo]

Hi mate, hope you're well? Thank you for the kind words about my drone filming and music choice! I use Epidemic Sound for all my music here: www.epidemicsound.com/referral/bf68sq/

[@mmwaashumslowww7167]

Wild remote and unforgiving but so beautiful. Have any of the locals figured out a way to strengthen their homes against the storms or is it constant repairs? I like being in the van with a storm on the go but Harris maybe a bit much. Great series 👍

[@PackTheVanAndGo]

Totally beautiful in every sense! The locals are really friendly and tell you so many stories, how they survive is a testament to them! I love being in the van in a storm and rain, but some of the days on the island was rough weather! But so glad all the changes I did to the van worked and everything is still in one piece from the storms! Hope you're well mate?

[@lth1072]

Archie and dogs make me laugh 🤣 . We humans are wimps and try to seek shelter from the stormy weather. Archie and his gang don't even notice it 🤣

[@PackTheVanAndGo]

They both just love being outside, but if the rain gets really heavy and stormy, they both want to get inside quick! 😂😂

[@lth1072]

@Pack The Van And Go Haha, don't say that. My aunties poodle sees Archie as a brave explorer. You'll ruin the image she's built up in her mind.
