This is one of my fav videos of yours… I was a 1st time visitor back in Nov & did the reverse journey of this (🚂 bridge, Glencoe, Loch Lomond), such stunning places.

The first mountain you were loving the view of is called Ben Lomond. I can see it from my kitchen and I volunteer with the ranger team on it! I live at the bottom end of Loch Lomond. Loving your vlogs!

Oh what a beautiful place you live in! Absolutely stunning , thank you so much for your kind words ❤️

I’m from Glasgow and I mountain bike in those hills a lot and every time I go through glen coe It makes the hairs on body stand up and brings a tear to your eyes 👀 it’s absolutely stunning

It really is absolutely stunning isnt it. Such breathtaking landscape

A little bit of geologic history something you may not know but the area of glen coe you drove through at 12:13 is home to what is believed to be an ancient Super volcano that last erupted 420 million yrs ago with 300x the force of St. Helen then going extinct creating the scenery we now know and love glad you enjoyed the trip, i would've suggested going to see Plockton village where they have Palm trees thanks to being in the Gulf stream they get nice tropical weather up there

It’s actually good for body to do cold water therapy but you need to ease yourself into water and breath technique and once you do it it’s very refreshing afterwards gets all circulation pumping around body too

Great video guys, very interesting, keep up the good work.

Hi guys, having watched a number of you vids travelling through such amazing exotic parts of the world, on your incredible adventure, it seems strange to see you in such familiar teritory. I am very familiar with loch lomond and the west highlands, having visited it many times. Isn't it just the most beautiful place. By the way, a fact about castle stalker. Are you familiar with monty python, because castle stalker was made famous by it's appearance in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Looking forward to your continued exploits in Scoland.

@@KristyandSteve It is quite a large castle when you are up close. If you haven't seen the movie before, it's an all time comedy classic. Enjoy!

I rented a camper just like this, last year, for my week round Scotland, & to be perfectly honest with you, I didn't enjoy it at all! The bed was comfy enough, & big enough, but the ridiculous amount of cupboards/storage, which took up around 40% of the interior space, really prevented any chances of having any room to move at all..........and I was there on my own!! I can't even imagine how cramped it would be with two people using it!! I'm on the lookout for an MPV, or a big estate car, to have a go at making my own micro-camper.........with NO cupboards! I don't need cupboards, just 'elbow-room'!! 🤣

Heya James! We definitely see what you mean, it was a tight squeeze thats for sure! Also considering Steves 6'3 and Im 5'10 (certainly not petite people). I think also because we have quite a bit of luggage, therefore the process of unpacking and re-packing was a little frustrating at times. We do a van tour showing the interior layout and functionality in our video coming out this Sunday, please let us know what you think!

Fricking Awesome U2 🤘 We'll have to pick your brain how to do this in Australia or hire a van, might be fun doing a few weeks in a van up thru GBR area! Be safe 🌎
