VATERSAY DISASTER - WHAT REALLY HAPPENED

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks for sharing the Catalina Memorial. That was very interesting. Beautiful beach scenery and that tray bake looked very tasty indeed. Glad Graham got his naan bread this time 😁❤

[@Wizardinthewild]

Thanks guys. Glad you enjoyed it. 🐶🐶🐶🚐🧙‍♂️👍

[@roaminginraymond]

Very sad seeing the plane remains but agree it's good that it has been left there as a reminder so that the tragedy is never forgotten. Beautiful white sandy beaches. Gorgeous.

[@Wizardinthewild]

More stunning scenery and watching your dogs truly enjoying life. Xxxxxxxxx

[@Wizardinthewild]

Hi Yvette. It certainly is the gift that keeps on giving with a surprise around each corner. The girlies love all those beaches 😉Thanks for watching ❤️👍😊

[@MelG-ut3hs]

Such a beautiful part of the world. Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@Wizardinthewild]

Shows the troubles with navigation if you get lost. Interesting to see the wreckage still there, wonder why they didn’t leave it where it crashed? Nice looking cake! Lovely to see the dogs on the beach. The pasta looked nice. All the very best, David & Rachel ❤️

[@Wizardinthewild]

Hi both. Thanks for watching ❤️ We wondered that about the wreckage. Not sure why they dragged it down the hill. We did think that because it’s in a stream now where the water can run through, it’s become a kind of living monument. ( rather than the more usual stone or statue) certainly very poignant and a real sense of the tragedy being there. Take care ❤️👍😊

Lovely video. I am American and was fortunate enought to visit England and Scotland for the first time last year. We really enjoyed our time in both places. We do long to go back and stay a bit longer. I live in Southern USA and we have beautiful white sand beaches but they are hot hot hot! Thanks for shareing the journey.

[@Wizardinthewild]

Hi Pen4tenn. Thanks for watching and commenting ❤️. So pleased you visited the UK last year. I bet your beaches are gorgeous. Definitely not so hot here in the Outer Hebrides! Safe travels 👍❤️😊

[@getawaygeese]

Thanks for sharing the tragedy - amazing the wreckage is still there - I assume in memory but made it very real Great tips on pasta - thanks

[@Wizardinthewild]

Yeah it like a living museum being there with the wreckage. Thanks for watching and commenting. 🐶🐶🐶🚐🧙‍♂️

[@NBNatureTrailvan]

Always very emotive visiting these places. I’ve hiked to see some crash sites in the Lake District. Sad places. Very sensitively filmed and edited Graham. Maybe one of the most scenic of memorial sites. That drive was absolutely incredible. The landscape is just amazing and we just have to get there soon. Oh my goodness - a Tunnocks wafer cake 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 Love the way the cows roam free around there Many wow moments as you say! And that Sunset across the beach. Stunning. The Pasta Bolognaise looks scrumptious. This channel always makes me hungry 😃😃 Safe travels guys.

[@Wizardinthewild]

Thanks for watching and for your lovely comments ❤️ That crash site definitely felt very sad. But the way the water trickled through the wreckage brought some sense of calm and peace to the tragedy which must have been so awful. Found it all very poignant. Hope you get there soon. The cake was delicious and you simply have to sample one 😉 Take care both ❤️👍😊

[@ray906]

Looks like you've had loads of wow moments this trip...including the naan bread Graham 😅😅😅Have to say think this is our favourite destination so far 😊Really appreciate all your hard work making these wonderful vlogs. Love Nicola xx

[@Wizardinthewild]

Hi Nicola. So pleased you are loving the Outer Hebrides series so much. We certainly love it there. Always something beautiful just around the corner. Thank you for watching. Take care ❤️👍😊

[@robertirving5293]

Me and my wife been to Vatersay when we had are motorhome 19 years ago now one day we are going back one day. Any way what lovely video nice to see were both off you have been .

[@Wizardinthewild]

Hi Robert. Thanks for watching❤️. Vatersay is lovely isn’t it? Something beautiful around each corner! Hope you get back there soon. Take care ❤️😊👍

[@vanandcountry]

Thanks for sharing this. As a pilot myself the weather dictates a lot about what you do but these guys didn’t have as much choice whether to fly or not. Some lovely food there too.

[@Wizardinthewild]

Thanks for watching and commenting ❤️ As a pilot you must have a lot of empathy for what those pilots went through. We found it particularly poignant as the plane itself was the memorial. Normally it’s a statue or plaque or cross or stone. Really brought it home. Safe travels ❤️👍😊

[@harrythehymersholidays]

Barra and Vatersay were our favourite islands on our trip. I found the Catalina memorial very moving. Like you, we were the only ones there, and it had an incredible atmosphere - or perhaps that was just me being over emotional. I’m not going to admit how much we spent at that little cake shed! 😂 We were on holiday and they were delicious. 😊

[@Wizardinthewild]

Thanks Suzie. I wouldn’t like to pick our favourite. We only spent a couple of days on Barra and Vatersay. It wasn’t enough. Those cakes were lovely although nothing for Ellie there. Glad you enjoyed it. 👍🐶🐶🐶🚐🧙‍♂️

[@DesmondsDonders]

Good job we are not on PPW. pay per wow. I want to go see that wreck, bucket list item LOL

[@Wizardinthewild]

🤣. It really is a “Wowy” sort of place isn’t it? Thanks for watching and commenting ❤️👍😊

[@chrisife2303]

Did you get to going into the Barra Heritage Centre in Castlebay as that had more info on the crash and a model of the plane hanging from the ceiling. I have loved your outer Hebrides vlogs as it reminds me of our travels there last summer

[@Wizardinthewild]

We were well short of time on Vatersay and Barra. Would love to have seen the heritage centre. Good excuse to go back I think. We love all the islands. Thanks for commenting Chris. 👍🐶🐶🐶🧙‍♂️🚐

[@chrisife2303]

@@Wizardinthewild I'm definitely wanting to go back, so much we didn't see, but also so much see elsewhere

[@adrianhunt4358]

Hi Ellie and Graham thank you so much for the outer Hebrides vlogs they blow us away absolutely stunning Allison my wife wants to know we’re did Ellie get the electric pot from please she fancies getting one and likes the size of yours please Thanks again for all you two do for us subscribers lots of love Adrian and Allison from nth Yorkshire

[@Wizardinthewild]

Hi Adrian and Allison. Thank you so much for your lovely comments ❤️. Pleased you are enjoying the vlogs. We bought the little pot from Amazon. Here’s a link to the vlog we did about it (which explains it in more detail). I think Amazon may have updated the ones they sell. But this should tell you all you need to know. I use mine all the time. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJ28h6B7rducsNksi=p7qdFeSvoC1WA5wh Safe travels ❤️👍😊

[@Wheres_wanda_wandering]

Thank you for sharing the disaster information it is so important we remember. The cakes looked yummy not sure which I would have picked. The naan bread is a result Graham but not sure that it should go with pasta. Take care Gill

[@Wizardinthewild]

Hi Gill. Thanks for watching and commenting ❤️. You are so right. It’s really important to remember. The cake was delicious! Highly recommended. Definitely a meal identity crisis going on there with the naan and pasta 🤣. Safe travels ❤️👍😊

[@tomball5133]

Cant believe you went to Vatersay and didn't go to the mass grave from the shipwreck. A passenger ship heading for Canada with men women and children sank off Vatersay and over 300 people were buried in a mass grave where they were dragged ashore. There is a monument over the site. Such a poignant place.

[@Wizardinthewild]

Hi Tom. Thanks for watching ❤️. We haven’t finished our visit yet. You just need to hang on until next week’s vlog 😉( think it will explain everything) take care ❤️😊👍
