    Hello guys, Really enjoying your vlogs! Funny you mention about every person waving at you when driving etc. Myself and my wife had a break at North Uist in April and as soon as we left the ferry every single person in a vehicle waved at us😂 I said to my wife “all these people are waving and I have no idea who they are 😂😂 And yes there is a thing called the North Uist wave 👋

  • @highlands2hammocks

    I’m very intrigued by how the small vanlife works. I sold my old motorhome recently to downsize to one of those little Ford Transit Customs. But I can’t decide whether to get the LWB high top for extra space - specifically for when the weather is bad.😅 so watching with interest to help me make my decision!!!

    It was tough for us this time as we didn’t have anything set up to cook etc inside the van 🤔 it was very much just camping with a big metal tent 😂 it is MUCH easier for getting around in though! Cheaper for ferries too
