UK vanlife | It's finally not raining in Scotland + wild swimming in Glencoe

In today's episode, we make our way in Glencoe, Scotland, which happens to be one of the most beautiful places we've taken Creep yet! We get to wild swim some COLD water, hike a few miles into a cute town, and end the night with chef Kyle's famous (not really) dinner 🍝

You need to remember one thing above everything else in the UK. It only ever rains on days ending in AY. And as Alfred Wainwright - the famous Lakeland Guide book writer - said, "there is no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing"

[@kyleandmadie]

[@tokancorner327]

nice..kyle quick learner on how to make nasi goreng

[@kyleandmadie]

Haha it’s definitely similar!! I think bash goreng might be a little bit better 😉😍

[@odettec1]

You guys make me freeze just watching you near the water, let alone when you get in....hats off to you two that's for sure!

[@kyleandmadie]

haha it for sure was insanely cold, but always feels so much better once you get out 🤣 you wouldn't enjoy a nice little chilly dip???

[@bigaldo246]

Fun fact guys? The path you were on @3:37 on the hill to you’re right was were Hagrid’s hut was located for the Harry Potter movie’s. 👍

[@kyleandmadie]

wow we never knew that!!! Funny how you can just go over a place and not know if it has any significance!

[@jayampathy100]

I have seen your videos done in 🇱🇰 ...you will get some similar places in Srilanka also ..ex..Hortan planes ..Ella...basically central part of Srilanka

[@kyleandmadie]

yes! They do look a little similar to each other! We enjoyed our time in the central part of SL and can't wait to be back there soon! 😄

If you haven't already, try wearing 2 pairs of socks when hiking, the inner pair rubs against the outer pair, instead of your skin, avoiding blisters.🥾😢

[@kyleandmadie]

Great advice!!! I (madie) ended up having 3 or 4 giant blisters at the end and could hardly walk the next day 🥲 when hiking back to the van, I actually took my sock on my one foot and folded it over so I had no sock on my heel, but at least had double sock where my bad blister was! We trekked 2 weeks to Everest base camp and I still didn’t have blisters that bad 😂😂

[@johnboy2562]

​@@kyleandmadieYou're welcome. Really enjoying your stuff. Happy hiking!

Apparently over two minutes of brushing starts to effectively remove plaque.Better to invest in an electric brush though.Lifes too short.

[@lyledeevore1389]

Glad you guys got to the highlands. That's where the Celtic people are strong. The lowlands have a Germanic history. Back in King Henry VIII days he had Celts go to Northern Ireland and gave them land to put down Irish rebellions against the Crown.

[@kyleandmadie]

It’s absolutely gorgeous up there!!!

[@cmcc3721]

No front number plate...surprised you got that far without a pull from pc plod.

[@kyleandmadie]

The state we are from in the US doesn't provide 2 plates! We only get one on the back :)

[@cmcc3721]

@@kyleandmadie yeah. I've noticed that but it's not road legal in the UK. First police car that passes will pull you over. Surprised no one's mentioned this to you PS I hope you get away with it BC I can tell it's a perfectly innocent oversight but just the same, I thought it was only fair you knew(don't go near the motorways btw ANPR will set off the bells and whistles haha)

[@kyleandmadie]

We actually drove around the UK for nearly a month, passing many police cars and have not been pulled over! I’m not sure how the laws work with foreign cars. Thanks for letting us know! We actually get a lot of people stopping us and telling us our front plate is missing 🤣

[@lyledeevore1389]

​@@kyleandmadieif you are visiting you are exempt from many requirements for full time residents. If you were to emigrate to the U.K. you'd have to register your vehicle and receive two new plates. The same would happen if you moved to California or any other state. Some states even have waivers for emissions if you live in a rural enough area or have a new vehicle.

My former dental hygienist said she always brushes her teeth for four minutes every night😬☺

[@kyleandmadie]

He may be onto something then 🥲
