Yes. It’s very confusing. I often find that going the same road in a different direction very, very confusing. Everything looks the same, but different. I often have to call the AA and ask them what’s going on, but they just tell me to fuck off :-( You wanker. We should get a trip booked in for next year. Send me some dates you can’t make 👍

Thanks mate :) The se are the links below for the panels and the rivets. The panels came in two halves and pre-cut, so really straight fwd... no measuring, but ideally a 2 person job. I did it myself but it took a lot of effin and jeffin - ha ha.

Thanks for watching! :)

Thanks! It was a lot of fun making this :-)

@@TheUremaW Amazing day san, will be taking that to the grave with me :). If we could just get that weather a bit more often…. :)

@@brianbathgate4944someone needs to invent an app that notifies Scottish people when there’s going to be a sunny hill up north. If it could automatically send a holiday request in to work too, that’d be perfect. 👌

Thanks! It’s a cracking route, absolutely stunning part of the world. I think I was about 4hrs. It’s not a Munro, but it’s quite steep in bits. Worth it tho :-). Here’s the Walk Highlands link with more details 👍 www.walkhighlands.co.uk/fortwilliam/papofglencoe.shtml

@@brianbathgate4944 many thanks …. 👌👍👍👍

Thank you kindly

Thanks! :-). Yeah - I’m based in Edinburgh but keen to travel more. The Lakes looks amazing - next on my list :-)

Awesome! Thanks very much David! Im based in Edinburgh but get up north when I can… hoping to do An Teallach in a few days, fingers crossed :). Hope you have a great trip! If you’re wanting to see any of these places in the flesh, if you check out my Scottish Drone Footage playlist, most of the routes have a route in the description. Happy travels!

@brianbathgate4944 will check it out Brian..thank you again. If you're ever down under let us know

@@sneakysweeno Thanks Sneaky :-)

@@MontyOutdoors Monty! How’s it going man? Gaz said you’d got a dog :-) hope you’re getting it ready for the hills :-) Great meeting ya back in May man 👍

Na, you can literally see me in most of the shots :-)

@@garyhook5821 Cheers Gary :-)

Thanks for the support JB! Means a lot... nearly getting subscribers in double figures now :)

@@shaw9673 Excellent! It’s great having a project, and You Tube is magic for getting ideas and tips - it can be a massive time sink tho. Estimate how long it’ll take then double it 😂. It’s brilliant building to your own requirements tho - I’ve got a diesel heater fitted now so looking fwd to weekends away over the winter 👌

Thanks mate :)

Thanks mate! They've raised over £8k this year, which is brilliant!

Looking fwd to next year Ken! Great crowd of folk and crackin trails 👌

Ah brilliant! Thanks for tracking me down :-) twas a brilliant day out! (Though you can see you were quicker walking down that I was biking 😂)

@@leoprinceUK Excellent! It’s great having a project like this :-) best of luck with the build!

Thanks mate :-)

Owft - one of the best comments I’ve had on the channel :-). Thanks very much!

That’d be the dream! :-) Thanks very much mate!

Hey, yeah, sure mate. It’s fairly basic tbh, wouldn’t trust myself with electrics :-) I got the Renogy panel (link in the description) and that comes with a MC4 cable. My first portable power station was the Bluetti but I’ve since upgraded to an EcoFlow Delta 2. That’s got a XT60 solar cable input; so you just need the MC4 to XT60 converter and you’re ready to rock. Each portable power unit can have a different input connector tho so double check that before buying a cable. The Bluetti came with the right one but the EcoFlow didn’t. Being in Scotland, I wish I’d gone for the 2 x 200w solar panels, you can connect them together and maximise the input (search You Tube for “serial vs parallel solar” if you’re wanting a breakdown on that). The portable power stations are great, they just work out the box - which is what I was needing :-). If you’re looking at them, the Bluetti AC180 is a good option for a small van, or the AC200Max is a classic piece of kit with more power storage. Some good deals still lingering on the back of Prime Day too 👍

Hey Chris, thanks for watching :-) I got mine from eBay… just did a quick search and I think it’s this one (I’d double check with the seller it’ll fit your model and year, but think they cover all Customs >2013) Mine covered the ply and flooring just fine 👍 www.ebay.co.uk/itm/226250587897?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=NoL4nAjCRru&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=VlZwT6leQQ6&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

@@brianbathgate4944 , Great thanks.

@@azzzza1045 Thanks man - glad you enjoyed the vid :) The vans a 2015 and was sitting on 100k when I got it, bit higher than I liked, but had FSH and the best I saw in my budget. I’ve put 11k miles on it and no major drama yet… touch wood :)

@@Drone.vision Awesome! Thanks mate! Totally helped that I struck lucky with the weather, was up in May last year and couldn’t see 2ft in front of me :-)

@@brianbathgate4944wow you definately did then, it made for some great footage! Looks so cinematic , it’s just amazing! 👍👌

@@TiberiusWallace 😂

Alan! How are you doing? Great to hear from you! Hope you’re well. Im still in Edinburgh, lost a few stone since this video was made - enjoying an early mid life crisis :-). Had a cycle down the Terrace a few months back and was thinking about you.

@@brianbathgate4944 I'm fine thanks Brian, been up in Aberdeen for the last 15 years drilling for oil and gas! Great to see you have a wee one running around!

Thanks Andrew :-).

Its the SWB I’ve got. If you’re after any bit and pieces, try the links in the description mate. I think the pre-cut flooring and roofing all had SWB or LWB options. Good luck with the build!

Thanks :-) I bought one from Van Furniture. You could no doubt build your own if you’re handy - but this was easy flat pack. I’m delighted with the one they supplied, it’s ideal, and the foam is as comfy as. Here’s the link mate: www.vanfurniture.co.uk/shop?category=Sliding%20Beds

@@brianbathgate4944 thank you very much for the reply, i'll have a look at that 👍

Thanks very much, always great to get some nice feedback :). And greetings from Scotland! :). You’ll absolutely love the Amalfi coast, one of the best holidays I’ve ever had. Sorrento, Positano, and Capri were all out of this world, love it. Scooter wise, you’ll be fine. The one we hired was in fine working order, and the roads were in great condition. It’s so much easier getting about on 2 wheels, some of the tight roads, when a cruise ship comes in, the roads get busier and the coaches are squeezing down the roads, their wing mirrors are touching :). On 2 wheels you can just cruise about without a care. Have a great trip! I need to plan a return trip:)

@@brianbathgate4944 My Aunt is going to Scotland in a week, beautiful country! Do people honk a lot in Italy and do you honk around blind corners in case a bus was approaching? Thanks again.

@@mfolson81 That’s more the French that toot their horns for “I’m here”, the Italians are too busy looking cool and saying “Caio” 😂

Thanks John. It was a cracking day. Misty and pissing with rain as we drove to the start but thankfully it cleared and the weather just got better and better. This was my first stab at shooting on Dcinelike and colour correcting/grading too…. Finding it a bit of a headf*ck tbh 😂

@@brianbathgate4944 I hate and gave up on colour correction lol

@@jaybee2786 Ha ha - I can see why - it’s a feckin nightmare 😂

Likewise Gaz, great to meet you. Absolutely cracking day out - delighted to finally finish the walk - we were beaten back by bad weather the first time we tried it :-). Glad the grapes did the trick with Monty! What was that hill in Torridon again that we were talking about?

@@brianbathgate4944 The hill I mentioned was Maol Chean-Dearg. Still my favourite Munro summit.

Magic. Hoping to get back up to Torridon this summer - I’ll add that to the list :-)

Thanks Ian. Yeah - it was a great bunch of folk, such a laugh. Def keen for another meet up later in the year :-)

Likewise mate - such a cracking weekend! Looking fwd to the next catch up :-)

Thanks mate. Soooo tempted to get an Air 3. Going to hold off tho - see if the next one has a 1 inch sensor

@@brianbathgate4944 mavic 3 mate beats the air 3 hands down

You’ll need to make the next meet man - camping and biking - cannae beat it :-)

Just not sure about fitting the windows myself.

Thanks for watching :) Yeah, I debated about the bulkhead - def pro's and cons. With it in, I like the drive better, def a quieter drive, and it's better for stealth/wild camping - doesn't look like an obvious camper. The cab heats up quicker in the winter, but you do lose a bit of space. Having it open, ideally with swivel seats, really opens up vans like this. I hired a T5 a few years ago and that had swivel seats, but it was a nightmare, you had to undo 4 bolts, then try to swivel round 2 of the front seats - really awkward - took about 15 mins of effin and jeffin to get it done. My Ducato was brilliant, just hit a handle and spin it round - but that only had the 2 seats up front instead of the 3 in the Custom. Re the windows, totally get that mate, I was glad my mate did them for me. The windows I got were affordable and have been great tho - would recommend them (link in the description) - and watch as many YT vids as you can for tips and tricks. Tips I'd offer: I'd do the windows early on in the build if you can, pick up all the wee shavings cause the can cause rust. Make sure the surface for the bonding agent is crazy clean, I washed it with soap and water, then degreaser, then isopropyl alcohol - drying with a fresh microfibre cloth between each. Take your time, measure twice and cut once and all that :) have a spare pair of hand to help out, and you should be fine. Best of luck mate - feels great having a self build once its done :)

Excellent! What van have you got mate? I’m loving the custom - it’s been a great buy - ideal for what I’m needing - and loads of wild camping in it - crackin :-)

@@brianbathgate4944 bud I M going to buy soon and live off grid , fed up of the renting and landlords taking a pi….. love your work . God bless you 🥰

Thanks very much :). Do you have a gpx of the route? Im always keen to explore more routes :)

Wow! What a comment! Thanks very much :-)

Cheers! Twas a grand day on the bike :-)

Thanks Davy! I’ve got a Mavic Air 2. A few years old now but still capable… unlike myself - ha ha

Ahhhhh I know the feeling, I use the Mavic pro 2...fantastic piece of kit...

Brilliant video thanks,Where did you start from?,is it a loop
