Conquering Spain's Deadliest Trail | Epic Solo Van Life Adventure On The Camino Del Rey!
Known as Spain's most dangerous path, or the most dangerous walkway in the world, the Caminito del Rey / Camino Del Rey is over 100 years old and 100 meters (350 feet) high. So after driving our little old camper vans through the mountains to an absolute amazing park up next to the blue lakes, we thought lets go and hike that today! You only live once after all.
------------
Winters in the UK can be miserable especially when living on a boat and with all the canal lock closures for maintenance, I began to feel a little trapped. So for the next 2 months I decided to join up with another fellow solo female traveller and set off across Europe in our two very old camper vans in search of sunshine and to experience Van life at it's best.
I hope you enjoy something a little different as I swap boat life for van life.
------------
Thank you so much for watching. If you are new here, I'm Heidi and I live aboard my Narrowboat The Rum Wench and travel the UK's Canals in search of Adventure. After selling my house to experience an alternative lifestyle I bought a canal boat and a camper van which as a solo female who loves to travel, gives me the best of both worlds. I have recently got myself a new addition to the crew, a fabulous companion - my little rescue dog Bonny who is an absolute joy and the perfect First Mate. I also work full time off grid from my tiny home and trade at canal festivals as The Narrowboat Pirate aboard The Pirate Boat.

Wow, very exiting to celebrate your 25 birthday (I simply can't believe when you said 28th, that surely was a joke !) by doing the Camino Del Ray, fantastic views, but a great lack of toilets, never mind, you girl made it a clearly had a marvelous time there. This trip will definitely be a trip that you will never forget, it may even be hard to leave all that beauty behind, and go back to the UK. Your vans are doing a great job too, you see that age is of no importance, and if often even an advantage because they are so much simpler , no-or hardly anything electronic to go wrong, KISS is the best. Looking forward to your next video 👍👍👍

Happy Birthday, Heidi. What did Bonny get you? The clean mountain air on El Caminito Del Rey was probably why Sandra didn't have an asthma attack on that lovely long hike (that, and the lovely views!). That 'party' was a lovely way to celebrate.

Is there some kind of award for videos, like a BAFTA or an Academy Award for travel pictures? I’m amazed and blown away by your video. KZread should give you some kind of bonus for it. I think you should make sure the BBC sees it for some kind of special programming. Congratulations for the video and, of course, happy birthday to you. Thank you. You’ve shown me something like I’ve never seen before and beautifully filmed as well.

Happy Birthday Heidi!!!! I absolutely love taking this journey with you. I could NEVER EVER take the walk in real life that you did ... I am afraid of heights and would have ended up being vulture lunch so it was a major thrill to do the walk via camera with you and Sandra. You have no idea how much this trip has meant to me. I am one of your adoring subscribers but I am past my traveling days now due to health and family commitments so running away from home once a week to travel with you brings me such happiness. The memories you will have when you get to my age will be so fantastic. Save my spot in Polly for me -- I will be there next Thursday to travel on with you. Happy Birthday again ... Hello Sandra and thank you for what you add to the videos. Hugs from Gramma Lainee ... may we find peace in our lifetime. PS ... I did a photo capture of one of the walls of the dam and that is my current computer wall paper.
