Freezing Fairy Pools | Isle Of Skye

[@MB-qk5it]

Emma getting her kit off always creates more views, not that I'm complaining.

[@bobbycampos6576]

Emma is such a doll!!! Her smile and energy are truly infectious! 🤗🤗

[@wendigareau7298]

Definitely crazy going into the fairy pool!

[@joanhall3718]

Emma you are the bomb!! We all need to push ourselves into those experiences that call to us. You go girl!

[@kenandcoreen7179]

FANTASTIC end to a great series in Scotland! From Emma's dip is the freezing water to Alex and his sausage munching, and all of the beautiful scenery in between, you guys are the best! Thanks for taking us your journey. - Coreen

[@markbennett6367]

Skye is beautiful.... You're spot on about the Coral Beach.. On a warm sunny day the place is amazing, and the colours of the the beach and water are unforgettable... A few hours you will remember for the rest of your lives with utter clarity...

[@kumasenlac5504]

10:56 Yes, those were the Northern Lights.

[@wenzilsmith8659]

Holy shit Emma is da boss, she actually took a dip in that freezing cold water damn. 🙌🔥

[@lhollybow]

I was expecting to see frozen nips , but I guess it was super cold , so instead we got major shrinkage. lol This was a great series - such troopers slogging thru the Scottish Sunshine.

[@bandituk]

Alex- You have to try square or Lorne sausage in a fresh bread roll with HP sauce and a cold can of Irn Bru during a hangover. Instant cure👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Emma- you are a natural for presenting programmes like this. 😊👍 You two make great videos together. Keep them coming.😊

[@harrisonandrew]

Or few clothes in Emma’s case 😂

[@NakedWanderings]

I strongly disagree. Or never found the right clothes 😒

[@IanTed]

Was actually Wainwright, Billy pinched it😜

[@nickthomas181]

@@IanTed It's not where you steal it from it's where you take it, I think Billy has a different audience than Wainright (I was never a fan of his comedy .....).....lol

[@saitdesigns]

Yes!!!!

[@kumasenlac5504]

Skip the Fairy Pools and continue down Glen Brittle - when you reach the 'phone box and the houses head up the track to your left and visit Eas Mor - the highest falls on the island. The track seems to be nothing much but then the falls appear, dropping in a single cascade into a ravine.

[@benmurray7163]

Emma - massive respect for getting in that freezing water! Good on you. Really cool

[@woooooooo9061]

I’m sure showing the body off for views had nothing to do with it.

[@simonlewis8507]

I was there 2 months before you! Did a 10 day trip.. half on Skye, half in Lochinver conquering Suilven. I had incredible sunny weather for the whole trip! All the places, you visited.. the coral beach, The Storr, Portree, The Quiraing… swum in the Fairy Pools.. even know that layby close to Dunvegan castle! One of the best trips of my life.. you have to go again in good weather!

[@jamesmarshall649]

Your a brave lassie Emma going into a cold cold pool enjoyed another episode watching the two of you on your travels I’m happy that despite the weather you are still smiling your happiness is infectious ❤️

[@pauljones9746]

Now you need to plan a lowland trip!! I recommend Island of Mull, Stirling Castle, the island Inchcailloch in Loch Lomond (GORGEOUS), and my favorite... the hiking trails in Dollar Glen around Castle Campbell.

[@russ1046]

11/10 Hero points for getting into that water. Great job - bet you don't regret it. Cool series - thanks for getting out there and sharing your story.

[@lizzwhitehouse9120]

I went to fairy pools early, was just me my dog and couple of other people it was amazing with no one around. But I wasn’t brave enough to get in the water. So well done to you. Bet it was bloody freezing. Hope ya enjoyed it.

[@gordonmackenzie4512]

Oban - Barra - Uist - Harris - Lewis - Ullapool - Loch Ness. Great route, best in the month of May. Good weather and very quiet at that time of year. Thanks for the vids from my homeland.

[@emilyeast6924]

That's the Northern Lights! Speaking from Alaska, having seen them every year. If you'd only had a clear sky, you could've really seen them. (Ours here are usually green, farther north they are multi-colored.)

[@bathroomjon1]

Great series - cheers guys - and I’ve ordered my beans out hat and looking forward to it’s arrival

[@nigelsearson5499]

Brilliant you guys, beans in water - finally!

[@garyclarke5852]

Great vlog yet again guys. Enjoyed watching thanks for sharing

[@moniquevelasco20]

Such a beautiful and magical place. Definitely going to the bucket list. So proud of you Emma, that water had to be freezing, but I bet you felt great afterwards. Thank you for taking us along. Be safe!🤗😘🌼🇻🇪

[@kaybrisvegas1099]

Loved your series on Scotland so so so beautiful that scenery. Def would love to see the Shetland Islands.

[@vetworker]

Full respect Emma for braving that icy water. Great video guys and a fantastic channel. Thanks for sharing your adventures. Very envious that you spotted a sea eagle 🦅 what a rare sight.

[@Ehralur]

You need to watch some Wim Hof to learn how to deal with that cold water! :D

[@norcalcalifornian999]

View at 3:34 is just mind boggling !!

[@searam1]

You are cray cray! That water must have been freezing! But thanks for an awesome trip around Scotland! Lucky you! Cheers from Atlanta! Sean

[@ashisroy8895]

WONDERFUL VIDEO. EMMA YOU HAVE THE MOST GIGGLY LAUGH WITH FULL OF HAPPINESS AND THE MOST INFECTIOUS AND GORGEOUS SMILE ON EARTH. ALEX, PLS DON'T GET JEALOUS NOW. GOD BLESS YOU BOTH WITH AN ETERNITY OF TOGETHERNESS.

[@tommyb2136]

I'm a little jealous of you square sausage,( man that sounds strange) it looked like what we call slice. Our Scottish butcher retired and the new one doesn't carry it. Nothing beats a breakfast of eggs, slice and black pudding. My search for slice continues.

[@trevorrobinson1075]

Well done Emma for getting in the water, love you guys, your personalities are so uplifting, your videos are amazing.

[@chris_dowsett]

Those drone shot are just amazing. Great work 👍

[@always.wondering.wandering]

Square sausage and a sea eagle, Alex, you can die a happy man now(but don't, not yet). So glad you went for it Emma and got in that water. I got in a freezing cold lake on a hike when no one else would, it felt fantastic, so invigorating! Everyone needs to "take the plunge" in whatever it may be when the mood strikes, you just have to. Thanks for sharing more of Skye with us, loved it!

[@mike130557]

Your videos are such fun to watch and have really given me a desire to ditch the Caravan, get a CamperVan and explore our fantastic country. The idea of not knowing where the next day and night will take you, is a great way to discover ‘gems’ that might otherwise remain hidden, only known to the locals! Huge thumbs up to Emma for taking the plunge. We could feel that temperature through the screen! That thumbnail really captured the moment!👍🏻❤️👍🏻❤️👍🏻

[@threadstory]

New and now subscribed! Really enjoy your vlog. And yes, that was a tiny bit of the northern lights. We’ve spend a good deal of time in the northern part of the U.S. state of Wisconsin and have seen the lights many times. Typically they are of that greenish hue in our area. Stay safe and warm!

[@obisescapades]

Hi guys, I would like to say that I loved your videos around NC500 and Skye. Please keep up the great work

[@johndare3576]

You’re braver than I am Emma! I got the chills just watching you get into that icy cold mountain stream.

[@RE650NZGraeme]

You guys are just so full of life! Expressive of the sights and scenes, but also of your love for each other! Your joy spreads so contagiously to us your viewers. So thanks for the scenery that you have taken so much time to explore and enjoy and share. The fun of campervan life, roving without time limits, exploring around each corner, going further than the crowds to the unknown, the less crowded. Just enjoying your series as a late subscriber, but keep up the drone work and exploring. Have been to Scotland twice but not to the isles. Graeme, NZ

[@morkd07]

Wow so spot on with your reactions to the beauties of Scotland, and how great to spontaneously take a dip in your unmentionables. Thanks guys, from Cyprus.

[@auntytutu]

That was a fun series - Thank You!!!

[@moandjen]

Y’all have quickly became our favorite KZbin channel and stolen our hearts! So happy we found y’all and can’t wait to watch all your future endeavors!

[@woooooooo9061]

“Y’all”??

[@moandjen]

@@woooooooo9061 You both.

[@jacklumbar7061]

Wife and I spent our summer holidays on sky and went swimming at coral beach, beautiful but very clear, very cold water.

[@cheriouellette7956]

I have loved this series and am very sad to see it come to an end!!! You did a marvelous job of sharing some very awesome places and thank you for that!! Onward to more adventures and stay safe and happy!!!

[@karenogush5622]

I was literally talking at the screen when you were at the Fairy Pools to hike further away and you'll probably have it to yourselves - glad to see you discovered that on your own. Most people park in the paid lot, then walk a short distance, oooh and aaaah, get their photo ops and then take off. When we visited, our B&B host told us about the free car park someone else on here mentioned, so we hardly saw anyone when we visited (and we went in summer). I love all those places you visited and camped at, now I want to go back and see everything we missed on our too-short trip there.

[@lizame65]

Emma you are AMAZING!

[@raymondporter2094]

Loved the series. Thanks. Early Sunday morning we will set off for Ullapool/Assynt for a week.... Can't wait.

[@MrTrev2507]

Emma is a legend, looked bloody freezing👏👏

[@Tetkowski]

Emma is a total badass. I admire anyone who at an inappropriate time, has the ability to say, "FUCK IT", and just do what they want. Bravo, mates.

[@lhollybow]

She definitely " Took one for the Team " . bloody brrrr.

[@JustinBrehm]

Lost it on the alex the sausage muncher. Everything has looked great Emma, thank you both for always taking us along on your Journeys

[@carelgoodheir692]

I live on Skye and a few decades ago these places now heavily promoted weren't. A girl friend and I went skinny dipping near where Emma went in and were very surprised indeed when some people walked past - unheard of!. I now go to the likes of The Fairy Pools or The Storr to see the variety of people rather than the scenery. Most of the island is empty and unpromoted and on most walks that we go we see no-one. PS, on a sunny day in Summer the water in these pools becomes lukewarm; it's been running over bare rock for over half a mile and the rock absorbs heat and transfers it to the water.

[@geoffhayday6003]

Well done with getting in that water. My wife does the same and I have learnt that the expression to be wary of is “it is ok once you are in”. Translated this means it is bloody cold! Great series thanks, we hope to do the trip next spring, before the midges come out in earnest.

[@8fox261]

Emma in the cold water reminded me of water survival school at NAS Pensacola in Pensacola Bay in the middle of January: COLD..!

[@stormylloyd2328]

Thanks for your video, I really enjoyed it. I can't believe you jumped in that cold water you are a beast.

[@SwamperJez]

Emma & Alex...a Sea Eagle in the UK...that is about as cool to find as a red squirrel...really jealous...good for you!!!

[@simonzorgdrager4700]

Nice work with your Scotland series - enjoyed the scenery and your always upbeat style.

[@TravelJennie]

Get charcoal sack packs on Amazon and put them around the van. They will absorb all the moisture. Also, square sausages in New Jersey and Philadelphia are called Scrapple. Hi from Texas!

[@86Brasco]

Was lucky enough to be here June this year. Got really lucky with the weather over a week. Skye is just incredible.

[@adiehull]

Awesome vlog, great series. Thank you so much for sharing it all, really enjoyed it 😊

Hehe brilliant film I'm fortunate to live near the Isle of Skye, and love seeing people enjoying the island, and iam so happy you aSkye blessed with a bit of magic that only Skye can provide, (Referencing the Sea eagle)

I loved the line … “like all responsible adults we drink to forget…..” ❤️😊👍🏻

Good for you Emma!!!!

[@lancekara2282]

Having done the NC500 myself it was nice to relive some of the beautiful scenery. Thank you both for an engaging series of videos.

[@saitdesigns]

Sea Eagle that's amazing!!! Don't hate wet weather it tends to bring out the wild life

[@DaisysOnTour]

Really Really loved your Scotland Vlogs!! You two have a wonderful manner about you with such warm expressive personalities. Waiting for delivery of our first van next March, it’s a Fiat Ducato with a pop top, you really do make van life adventures look like such dreamy freedom. Me and the Mrs can’t wait to get out there and explore with our little Yorkshire terrier, Daisy. I love all the lovely wild camping spots you find. Keep up the fantastic work guys!! xxx

[@normamartin2605]

First time watching your video. I have never been out of the US and I will love seeing the world through your eyes. Thanks

[@gordonross7638]

October is my favourite time of year on Skye. Way less tourists, no midgies, autumn colours on the ground and potential for sunshine and showers throughout the day and as many rainbows 🌈 Plus Red deer stags rutting 🦌

[@mapleleafer74]

HAVING A VAN IS SOO COOL. I LIVE FULL TIME IN MY SMALL VAN, LOVE IT.

[@DB-sh4gh]

I've just "subscribed".... what a great couple you are.... absolutely love your content ... informative, stunning scenery plus comic moments.... brilliant.

[@kelvinpell4571]

When you go over to Lewis / Harris; if there's time and the weather is kind, go over to St. Kilda from Leverburgh on Harris. It's utterly magical and gives new meaning to "remote"

[@colincr64]

Hi guys Thanks for sharing your Scotland Road trip I take my hat off to Emma for going into the fairy pools when I was there I wanted to do the same but the water was freezing and I couldn’t get myself to do it so well done Emma Have a safe trip home and I look forward to seeing your next adventure Cheers Colin 👍

[@Lisakaylindsay256]

I got a Beans Out Hat! Can’t wait to wear it!

[@vhissanormgriffiths7626]

Wonderful weather!!! At least it's not snow. Hahaha!!😘😘😘 take care Emma and Alex.

[@dennisspackman7147]

The most common colour of the Northern lights is green or yellowish green and this colour is given off by oxygen molecules. Though less frequently oxygen can also present as a red colour. Nitrogen is blue.

[@chrishutchison5031]

!!!!TALISKER!!!!! My favorite!!! If I spent a day sharing Talisker with Beans, I would die happy.

[@graememedley2506]

It has been an amazing series & you guy’s have really excelled. Certainly my favourite travel Vloggers with your wit, charm and sensational photography. Well done Emma & Alex 👏👏👏👏

So glad I found you two in my recommended box cause KZbin KNEW I was gonna love this channel! Keep up the great work guys! Looking forward to the next adventures!

[@jonathanshinwell6377]

Very brave up in Scotland cold water dipping. Motivation for me to start cold water swimming before Christmas in England.

[@brunowinter931]

Really great scenery. I traveled a lot in Scotland but never went into a water stream. I did this in Austria and Italy in the Alps. There the water is also freezing cold, but it is a great joy after a great hike.

[@maggiecawthorn5653]

Loved this series You’ve done Scotland proud

[@Love_rainy_days]

Wow!! Emma going into the COLD water of the fairy pool was very brave thing to do.👩 So best to do the Isle of Skye in the summer?🏖 Thanks for sharing your road trip of the coast of Scotland. Love your videos Cheers ☕☕☕☕🧔🧔

[@WendyHewlett]

I just did a couple of weeks on Skye, Lewis and Harris. Absolutely amazing. I can’t wait to go again. Maybe next time l’ll brave the icy waters of the Fairy Pools as well. 🥶🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@alannorman1773]

My son and his mates went swimming in the Fairy Pools at midnight this summer. Why midnight? Because the crowds weren’t there. So beautiful but so busy during a staycation summer. Great video btw

[@twoorfour]

If you're a cheapskate like me there's a free car park about a 10-15 min walk up the hill from the Fairy Pools. Great little mini-series from Skye, what an incredible place!

[@alancarlyon3928]

You were unlucky with the weather you got, so I hope you have learned to check before coming up to the best country in the world! You got to have the right clothing that will keep you dry inside - Never dry wet cloths in your van as your windows will steam up! The £5 charge at the fairy pools is to pay for the bridges that are going to be built over the streams and to repair verges where tight visitors park their vehicles! £5 FOR ALL DAY PARKING is a good deal, you would pay that for an hour down in London! You have only scratched the surface on your visit to Scotland, so many other foods to try out, great mountains to climb, Sail the Caledonian canal. walk the west Highland way etc! I have been all over Scotland in all my 70 years, so let me know where you fancy visiting next? Did you meet the midges on Skye? Loved your blog, look forward to more

[@kumasenlac5504]

2:00 At low tide you can walk out to the island.

[@hughtempleton8640]

Great video guy's thanks for sharing your amazing travels 😀

[@kinross24]

A heads up while in Scotland, guys! Our Drink Driving laws are much more tighter than in England and Wales. Probably a single measure of Whisky could tip you over the limit up here. Love your vids and don’t want you guys getting into trouble!

[@LeeLeesAdventures]

Loved your video guys HEADS UP the windows are misting up as the humidity in the van is high after drying out the clothes you need to have vents open to let the moisture out. or use moisture traps, keep humidity below 55% and it should be a lot better, stay safe see you on your next adventure, Michael & Kim uk xx keep up the great videos love the filming 👍

[@rayngrace]

No joke, apply aftershave inside the windshield. Buff until clear. Don't touch with fingers afterwards.

[@Brij2022]

We were there last week and it was spectacular after the heavy rains

[@tomsimpson4518]

Stardust boat trips are the best, i went out with Dan from Stardust and he went above and beyond to find us eagles we did get one which stole a fish he threw from the seagull who caught it and it ended up with the seagull chasing the eagle to get it back unsuccessfully i might add ..great trip and sorry it had to end, well done and thanks.
