I’m so pleased you found Skydancer coffee in Lochboisdale, fab coffee and lovely people! We will be visiting them when we come over in a couple of weeks, for coffee and waffles 😍
I saw that happy tail. Dougal does enjoy life and people. And I love your videos. Give me Earl Grey and I'm happy. May the campgrounds and eateries be full and the weather excellent.
Brilliant video , Andrew , made me smile , your a hoot , off on your travels Lol, great info for all your visitors !!!! Lol, that homebaking, looks delish and as for that vegan burger and fried potatoes whoa , not a wonder Dougal, was licking his lips, as for Downpour Gin , sounds really goooooood, hugs nice man
Another great video Andrew. Very informative and entertaining update. Especially liked the intro and the great welcome we got from Dougal. 😂 Thanks for including us and seeing the funny side of our interruption!! All the best and hope to run into you both again next year!! 😂😂👏👏 Linda and Jill x
Well, I was able to process a coffee purchase, so I refreshed my visit back to this video in order to comment. I thoroughly enjoy your videos, especially the EV6 pulling your caravan. I just recently purchased an EV6 GT Line here in the US, and I love it! Although I'll probably never be able to visit the places you show, I still love to see you driving the countryside in your video's. So thank you for the enjoyment it brings. By the way I just love Douglas!
Fantastic Andrew, especially as it features us! 🤣 We love the Dougal and so pleased we got a wee smile and a mad run around!! 🐾 Lovely to talk to you again. x
Brilliant Andrew, loved the intro, great update, we really love the scenery, the Wee Cottage Cafe is indeed superb, might catch you there next year, take care.
Great update Andrew. I'm sure that the Outer Hebrides have benefited greatly from your original series. It certainly inspired us to visit Lewis and Harris in 2019. Hoping that the Scottish government can sort out the ferry mess soon and make life easier for visitors and locals alike.
Long time subscriber here, your vlogs brought us to Outer Hebrides, we passed you and Dougal today when you were out walking. We were in a white Renault Master campervan (named Bert), wishing you both well and keep other good work 👍 Loving the islands btw...🙂
You should have stopped and said hello! Sorry the weather and the ferry situation has been less than favourable - but glad you're still loving the islands :)
@@andrewjditton Sorry we didn't stop, only twigged it was you and Dougal a bit down the road. The ferry situation has not affected us yet, (only Stornoway to Ullapool to catch), I do hope however it is all sorted out soon, it is having a huge impact on other areas/routes. All the best, Steve 👍
We tried so very hard to book 3 bicycles onto the Oban train from Glasgow to come and visit and go camping for a week or two. We had to give up - no spaces for the forseeable future we were told! So we're heading off to Campbeltown next week instead. We'll try again next year.
Hi Andrew, lovely to see you. Excellent Video with the update on the beautiful Hebrides. Wishing every success to Dave,Diane & Rosie at Otters Edge & continued support from Visitors to all Businesses on the Islands. The Views from Wavecrest Site are absolutely beautiful!! Thank You for sharing, Take Care, Lots of Love to You & Dougal 💖💖💜💜 XXXX
That's great news about the Otters Edge Campsite. We stayed there with the previous owners and loved the location. On the beach just behind it we had a seal swim closer and closer to the shore to look at us. The work that's been done looks fantastic and £25 for our camper is excellent value. We have just got to come back. All the best, Peter
Uist and Barra are certainly on the bucket list at some point but not this year. Thanks again for a great video, they are such a good introduction for those who have not been to the locations before and also a refresher if you have.
Great update! Can't wait to visit the Isles! It has been on my wish list for more than 20 years now but never managed to get there. Maybe next year.. And how nice to hear of the Whisky plans on Uist! Will take some time but I will look forward to a tasting of it :D
Fantastic update Andrew!! Will be moving back to Scotland with my better half next year to start a new chapter of settling in and travelling around in dougalthecampervan,looking forward to the next upload!! I'm an avid flyfisher and would love to hear about the fantastic lochs and lochans on the hebrides too. ATB Chris & Sue and the 2 Russells.
We stayed at the Ottersedge and Wavecrest sites on our visit in May 22. Wavecrest very windy but spectacular views. We also visited Northbay Community Cafe twice - it’s very good, very new with a nice selection of food.
Good to know, thanks! To be fair, Saturday is a quiet day for tourists (many are coming and going) and most locals are working their socks off turning around holiday accommodation.
Your videos are always a good source of information. But this one was very special. It shows a lot of places where I've been to.And I've met dougal! But seriously, it was realy nice to meet Andrew. Good man on TH-cam and real life. And if you want a coffee come to berneray bistro 😉
Great to meet you too! Yes Berneray Bistro is one of my 'Go-To' places, but it was featured in the original series :) Hope you enjoy the rest of your stay!
Hi Andrew, It's Robin from class. I really enjoyed your video, especially now that I know where some of those places are. Beautifully done. Chì mi an ath-bhliadhna thu. Robin
Andrew do you recommend a route around the hebrides? Also I am trying to locate a good map of the whole area including skye and mull can you recommend one? Love your videos....we have a motorhome and our border terrier sleeps on the front seat called the dougal chair!!
Hi Andrew great little supplementary series to bring the original up to date! More camping facilities which means more tourists! How many is too many?! Anyway, I'm nearly ready for my trip, I'm getting there slowly! Not much left to do now, I wish I could take some gin back but it's the weight! I could buy something in Edinburgh on the way back though! Really looking forward to seeing the sights there, I have time to kill there! Off on your travels again? Wonder where this time?! Enjoy wherever it may be and I look forward to the next series of vids to accompany it!! Take care, love from Anne xxx 😘🐕🥰
Dear Andrew, I m a fan of your videos and I would like to thank you for sharing your knowledge, caravan tours and trips always with your lovely Dougal and all of us. I am considering making a pretty customized caravan fully electric and I wonder if you have encountered a solution to connect a booster from a car alternator to the caravan to fast charge the LiFePO4 batteries? All components will be Victron at 24V or even 48V. Everything inside the caravan will be running at 230V except the compressor refrigerator and led lights at 24V. I'm also thinking about an EV for the future like yours with the same caravan, however that will have to wait few more years... Thank you so much for your kind reply and warm regards from a Catalan biker ✌️! BTW, how will you transport your bike? Cheers Charlie
Hi Charlie, thanks for your kind words :) I'm afraid that I am no engineer and can only report on 'user experience,' so I'm afraid I have no idea about how your idea for the electric caravan will work. Sounds to me like you could make a TH-cam series about it! ;)
I was there at the otter campsite in early June, just me and my dog , always wanted to visit benbecula, it was fantastic the weather was beautiful , if you have never been you should go, the beach is beautiful
Again well done. More options and fewer excuses for the ‘free-wheelin’’ types clogging the lay-by’s at night not to put something back into the community.

I had coffee and cake at Northbay Community cafe in May. Great coffee, nice decor and friendly staff. Can definitely recommend a visit
Thanks for the tip Linda, it seems to be unanimously liked!

Give me Earl Grey and I'm happy.

Thank you! We're not doing so great with the weather though this year... :-/

Many thanks Christine!
Fantastic Andrew, especially as it features us! 🤣 We love the Dougal and so pleased we got a wee smile and a mad run around!! 🐾 Lovely to talk to you again. x
You two will RUIN Dougal's reputation as the non-smiler! ;)
Your cup of tea looked amazing!
Thanks Andrew. Super. professional video format like TV channel. Also video has a personal touch by gently gliding over prices and options on offer.
Many thanks Moira :)
As you move around your part of the world I am in awe of the scenery constantly captured by your lens. You're in a pretty special place.
Thanks Peter. Yes, it's a special place indeed!
Thanks for another lovely informative video. Cuddles to Dougal.
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Brilliant Andrew, loved the intro, great update, we really love the scenery, the Wee Cottage Cafe is indeed superb, might catch you there next year, take care.
Tell 'em Andrew and Dougal sent you... ;)
They'd charge us extra. 🤪

Good to see more programmes.

Ha ha! It's an act he drops when the camera stops rolling :)
Andrew, you should realize by now that people visit the Outer Hebrides primarily to say G'day to Dougal 😎
Ha ha! I must admit, I get a wee bit embarrassed if I'm out with friends... but I wouldn't want people to stop saying hello if they see us out!
