    What a nightmare, right?! I wish we could say we learnt from this but it has sadly happened again since then 😂 Good thing the pods were there to cheer us up! Would you stay in these glamping pods on the NC500? Read more about them on our website if you are planning a trip - highlands2hammocks.co.uk/nc500-pods-brora/

      Hi, I've just come across your video's on TH-cam.
      Can I say they are fantastic and very well put together, is this something you do for a living?
      I only ask has the editing is very good.
      And I would love to be able to put together some videos of our trips.
      We're very new to motorhome traveling and we would love to do the NC500 so your video's are very useful too us.
      Tony & Beverley.

    Dave is an absloute legend, what a genuinely nice guy! - Even let you pet the pups. Big up to people like Dave, there aren't enough people like you! Much love, great vlog!

    I’m so happy to have stumbled upon one of your videos while looking for inspiration as I’m planning my first trip to Scotland in 2022. You guys are an absolutely lovely couple and I find your videos so much fun to watch! I’m a new subscriber. I hope you continue to run into people like Dave along your travels, what a kind man. Much love from London, Ontario Canada

    Another great vlog Gemma and Campbell, Dave was a top bloke there and those puppies were adorable. The pod looked so luxurious and peaceful. Hope Ellie is back on top form now and you are continuing to enjoy your adventures.

    It’s lovely to see the surrounds of Brora, my “distant cousin” lives there and I would love to go to Brora to meet her. Maybe a future trip is on the cards now that NZ has no quarantine requirements on returning from abroad. Love your vlogs, they certainly make me homesick for Scotland. Greeting from NZ ❤️❤️

    • @highlands2hammocks
      @highlands2hammocks  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Aww that would be great 😊 it’s a lovely part of Scotland, we enjoyed our time there!!

    Might be a good idea to buy a second cassette for your toilet. It will extend the time the toilet can be used between emptying. .

    • @highlands2hammocks
      @highlands2hammocks  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Have heard that one before and think its a good idea! The only concern we have with it is storage between haha dont really want a full one sloshing around the van..

    We have to say what a great spot to chill for a few days. And as for Dave, what a legend. We believe in Karma so you must have done something right. All the best.

    • @highlands2hammocks
      @highlands2hammocks  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Couldn't agree more! Was definitely a lovely place to relax and we had such a lovely time 😁 also that is very true! Dave sure has some good karma heading his way too!

    You had a holiday! Quite right too. Being on the road all the time can be exhausting - which is why things like switching batteries get forgot... I'd defo spend a night or two in those pods. I was waiting for Gemma to say she'd take one of those ups with her though - what absolute charmers. But then so was Dave; man of the moment and all-around good guy.
    I have a wee thing called Roypow (can't put links in YT now, but if you google it will come up); a fabulous bit of kit that got my old car running several times and also serves for USB charging of tablets and phones AND has a safety torch feature. Best sixty quid I spent in a long time. (It came ready charged...) YAM xx

    • @highlands2hammocks
      @highlands2hammocks  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Very much so! Unfortunately, we always just feel more pressure to create when we visit places like this as they are just so beautiful haha! Aww believe me, Gemma has been scouring the internet for some puppies now 😂 that does sound amazing! I will have to check it out, thanks 😁

    What a fab video this is. So good I sent it to my son Cameron who, once his campervan is completed, will definitely visit the posh glazing huts in Brora. Also love your photography skills...brilliant. I will be saving this vid as a definite 'must visit' for when we we buy our camper next year.

    • @highlands2hammocks
      @highlands2hammocks  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      So glad that our videos are inspiring you for your own trip next year! Can't wait to hear about it when you set off 😁

    how absolutely gorgeous are the little pups, I had one as a baby her name was lady and she was my dads dog. Very cute. Wow those little mishaps would have been so stressful for me, especially when i was on my own driving and soon will be again fingers crossed. Question, most of the videos you seem quite isolated not a lot of people around is that because of where you are traveling? or covid? or population being small?

    • @highlands2hammocks
      @highlands2hammocks  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      So very cute!! Very difficult to resist the urge to get one 😂 I guess its to do with the time of year. We avoided peak season as we didnt want it to be too busy 😊

  • @eng9040

    Love the vids but, I would advise that swimming in any loch is dangerous because of temp shock, on loch Lomand in July 21 during one weekend three young people died and we were there on holiday. People need to realise that lochs are not beaches, they could have a 2000ft drop from the shingle into ice cold water,

    • @highlands2hammocks
      @highlands2hammocks  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      That is so very true! We always try to highlight the dangers of wild swimming as there are a lot of unexpected dangers, from cold shock to rip currents.
