We were featured on BBC Scotland (+van problems)

[@ardview-vanlife]

🚑For those who are concerned about the van, it's still currently running normally and we hope it continues 🤞 ➡If you'd like to skip to us talking about BBC Scotland press here: 00:13:00

One of your best videos yet. A good insight into the more testing side of van life. I hope your van hasn't suffered any damage. I'm sure it will be fine. Maybe put an injector /fuel pump cleaning additive just to be on the safe side. Here's a tip for filling the tank from a can, hold the can with the hole at the up in the air ie, the majority of the can body below the funnel..... No glugs or spilling diesel. This goes for your water containers too. Love the video and Camas Torsa is a cracking little base. I'm impressed at your lack of visible stress and anxiety over the breakdown and possibility of a very expensive fuel system rebuild. My composure would have been long gone... Keep that stove ticking over and stay warm. Beinn Resipol is a beautiful mountain to hike. It's bigger than it looks so make sure you're prepared. It's worth it and the views are amazing... ❤👌👍🏻 A really great video guys 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Aw thanks for taking the time to write this comment 😁 Nice to hear your feedback. The van is still driving fine and we were able to pop more fuel in it tonight. We also added fuel pump cleaner as we thought it might help 😊 Lets just hope things continue to go our way🤞 We might have not looked too stressed but we certainly were. Just tried not to let it get to us. Worrying won't help. You're not wrong about Camas Torsa it's just stunning. We are parked there just now and its been magical the past few days.

Well done with the BBC connection lets hope its just a start you never know, you did well to put out the video so quick as we passed you on sunday up the top you must have been filming keep up the good PR works for the area 👍👍

[@ardview-vanlife]

That's so nice to hear, thank you 🥰 I spent all day editing on Monday so it could go live! 😂😂

[@suepimley5851]

Absolutely brilliant! Well done for your BBC slot. We really enjoy watching your videos, as we also love Ardnamurchan.❤ You did so well coping with your difficult situations, you are both inspirational people!

[@ardview-vanlife]

Aw thank you, it was really great too be featured if not a little strange to see ourselves on TV 😆 After living here for 6 months we can really see why so many people fall in love with the Ardnamurchan 💚 We appreciate you lovely comment ❤

[@DavidRLMoore]

Another great vlog. It seems you have had an arduous couple of weeks but battled on through. It's great that you allow us to see your tribulations as well as all the other stuff that goes on. I don't suppose there are many people who drive who have not at some point done the old Deisel in the Petrol engine or vice-versa, I certainly know I have, It looks like you rescued the situation pretty well Callum. I must say you are pretty handy when it comes to repairs on the hoof, well done you. I can also see its getting colder up there, those clear skies making it extremely cold when the Sun drops. Imagine how clean that air is though, lucky you. Luckly we are able to get Landward via the BBC Scotland App so we saw your 15 minuits of fame (3) I have a feeling it won't be your last visit to the silver screen. It was nice to see the Royal Marine Commando Memorial at Spean Bridge. Being an old squaddie I've visited it a few times although not recently. I don't balme Callum for not shooting any footage until Roks was back, going to and returning from work in the dark isn't so much fun. The Robin was great, strange how Robins seem to lift the mood. I have been visited and followed by single Robins often when I haven't been at my best, it has always lifted my spirits. Keep knocking at the Nord VPN door, you never know. We followed a brilliant German Vlogger prior to our recent trip to Berlin and he was sponsered by Nord, so you never know you might get lucky. All the best, stay warm and look after each other. No musical links this week..all the best. David & Hannah

[@ardview-vanlife]

We are always looking forward to your comment David and Hannah, so thank you, as usual for being part of this wee community here! So many people reached out to us over the past few days and it's amazing how many people have done it! I guess it would've happened sooner or later but it looks like we are all good. We went to petrol station last night to get more diesel and we kept reminding ourselves to add diesel not petrol haha It's an easy mistake when you have a petrol car and a diesel car. The memorial at Spear Bridge was very beautiful, can't believe that the car had to break down for us to visit it. Definitely will be back. We love a wee robin too, I like to think of them as a symbol of hope and peace. You are so right, they always seem to know. So cute. Thank you both and see you in the next video!

[@ardview-vanlife]

Thanks uncle Matt 😍 that’s so true, some things never change 😂😂

[@arturbmx]

Awesome video guys - as always!❤ I know the stress of putting petrol into diesel!🙈 Glad it ended up ok! :)

[@ardview-vanlife]

Thanks Arturek ❤️ we were actually thinking about you when that happened, I’m glad your bike is okay 👌 the van seems to be okay too 😊

[@ardview-vanlife]

so proud of you too Ewelinka!! 🥰🥰 would love to see you soon too ❤

[@hollyexley]

That is so cool that you were on the tele! BBC made a great choice there. Loved the little robin that visited you - they always visit us too, I think they like van dwellers (and the crumbs we throw out the window) :)

[@ardview-vanlife]

Thank you Holly 😍😍 that is so true! I think next year when we are back to our base and won't be really moving much, we could put a wee feeder in the back of the van. Just need to look into it 🥰

[@asaandthemarchharepart2903]

Wonderful video Both. Well hopefully you had all your problems in one go, so they are over and done with. Brilliant to watch you on Landward. Take Care Both. Keep Loving the Adventure ❤

[@ardview-vanlife]

That’s so true, love that approach! Everything seems to be all good 😊❤️ thank you for your comment as usual 😍😍

[@JoyTheConvoy]

Lovely to meet you guys! And congrats on the BBC feature :)

[@ardview-vanlife]

Thanks Matt 😍 what a beautiful morning we’re having here 😊 hope work isn’t too bad today. Ps. I need a tour of your van 😊 (Roksana)

[@TheMotorhomeMiles]

Congrats on the BBC appearance you two hope it gets you more of the audience you deserve 😊 Wouldn’t worry about the petrol, old school trick is to add a bit to the diesel in colder weather to keep it from thickening and freezing 😉 Stay Safe 😜👍

[@ardview-vanlife]

Thank you guys! That's so sweet of you 🥰 and yes, we heard about this too. The van seems to be running good with no change so looks like we are good!

[@notevenzero]

Great video again guys, much love and respect for you both dealing with adversity and sticking together ❤. Love seeing your faces and hearing about how you're doing. I've started watching your videos on my commute home from London and its the perfect antidote! Hope to see you soon xx

[@ardview-vanlife]

Aww Sam, we love that! That's so cute. 😍 hopefully see you soon you cuties!

[@ardview-vanlife]

Thank you for your sweet comment Jane ❤️ We’ve been making a conscious effort of not putting ourselves down when something goes wrong. It certainly doesn’t help 😊 Thanks again and see you in the next video! 😍

[@nathaire]

@@ardview-vanlife we actively encourage the wildness of our property as we have the burn to the east and can’t fence it. I love following your vlog.

[@DaveH-t9s]

Great slot on Landward and catching up on your videos. We had friends who worked on an estate near you several years ago and such a stunning place. Hope to travel across in the new year in our small van not the motorhome! Thanks Dave

[@ardview-vanlife]

That's amazing. The estate has been absolutely welcoming and so kind to us :) Hope your travels go great next year, are you planning on visiting Ardnamurchan? Thank you for joining us Dave!

[@PhilDotC]

Great video. If you have serious car problems the lads are Loch Shiel Garage in Acharacle are great. Looking forward to getting back up there in a couple of weeks after a prolonged absence.

[@ardview-vanlife]

Aww great, we heard loads of good things about the guys 😊 luckily, we managed to fix it ourselves. Hope you have a great time in the Ardnamurchan! ❤️

[@adam.motions]
