- Off I go on my first ever camping trip solo...Berlingo being my home for the next 2 weeks..never done it before on my own and the fear of finding places to park up and being on my own was washing over me big time..but soon got into the adventure x
Thank you for taking us along with you... I think your a blue fairy... And amazing person...
Our inspiration 😊 we watched your videos and then took our campervan to Scotland 👍👍 even wild camping in your recommended spots xx
Oh wow...so glad you did go to the most magical place on this planet..x
Got to love a lady with balls, a sense of adventure and a love of nature. Nice vid Hun.
Great vid bought back happy memories of a couple of trips we had when we wild camped Mull and Fort William we even stopped at the Green welly and the sausages were very tasty keep up the good work
Great videos, me the wife and our husky love Scotland and been there lots in our Motorhome called Raymond, watching your videos bring back all the great memories, good on you,
Great first stop on the banks of Loch Lomond. In the summer it gets mega busy.
Hello blue haired lady. Stumbled across your wild camping adventures while browsing youtube.. loved your day 1 and 2 vlog, can't wait to watch the others. All the very best my dear and thank you for sharing. Cheers Gary
You look amazing with the blue hair. Really suits you. Love the fact that you really appreciate the beauty and magesty of the amazing scenery and nature. I've got a feeling that you are a very wise person as well as lovely.
🤗
Go girl! Your the inspiration to myself, and others! Your doing what I spent 30 years doing alone. But now age is holding me back, I just watch you, and remember my own days of parking and climbing the Glencoe mountains behind you, (wearing special midge spray, where they never came near while wearing it). Lol.
Your hair scared the crap out of me, but its special to you, and it makes you unique, and gives you the happy draw factor!'
May you have many more Spiritual awesome journeys.
Awww thankyou for watching the videos x.. Glad that it brang back memories for you x
Don't let age hold you back, Mr Mirfin! I fully support everyone in older age keeping active and going for walks outside. It's what I aim to do when I'm older. Nothing will stop me.
Wonderful video,next time I'm in the UK,I'll have a boot around there,thanks for posting.
" ... and i think there's a pub out the back" proper Scottish camping :) Amazing scenery, thanks for sharing.
Argh I need to go back and find it x
Wow Lovley place atinamoon ... awesome waterfalls..1 year we will take big bertha up there ... loved the vid ... cheers Chris & Sam xx
Well it's very beautiful over there and Scotland I've never would have thought I'm from the United States and I am glad I am to watch your videos
Solo wild camping? 'Driving from cafe to cafe and sleeping in my car' more like! ;-D
Next time skin so soft. Hurry up and come back to Scotland.Peace sister.x
Reminds me of a few years back. My mate asked me if I fancied a week wild camping up the west coast of Scotland but I’d have to be leaving to go tomorrow. Of course I said yes and put the phone down. With only hours to go I quickly ran round and packed my camera gear and all my ultralight backpacking / wild camping gear. The first night, I pulled my backpack off the back seat that had my little 1 man gent, 2/3rds sleeping mat, mini alcohol burner etc in it. He went to the rear, opened the boot and pulled out a calor gas bottle, double ringed stove, 3man pop up tent and blow out bed 😂😂😂 When he said wild camping I presumed he meant we’d be hiking up into the hills for some photography, what he really meant was park near the side of the road on a bit of grass for free. The plonker...! We had a superb week all the same and I did manage to get up a hill on my own on one of the nights.
Thank you for sharing. I understand how you must be feeling. I get nervous I’m busy cafes etc. I have been trying to be brave enough to do an sort of camping so good on you for being brave and getting out there. Loving you hair too.
Awwww thankyou so much.. Ive now become very brave after doing a few good campouts on my own and now much prefer it... Hope you do get out yourself x
Lucky to be holidaying in Scotland in the summer of 2017 - it was about the sunniest & midge-free since 1990.
You rekon it will be the same this year?
@@atinamoon Not the way it's been going so far.. non-stop mega dreech and the midges are out and biting well !
Have enjoyed watching your adventures, On watching your video's it's made me want a van even more just so I can get away from city life to recharge.. Look forward to watching your next adventures..
Ceefa2013 yes you must get a van and just go go.. Life is too short x
What a lovely lady and a great video, aw the very best tae you x
Excellent! Just getting in your motor and getting out there! Good on ya!
Thankyou...miss those days... hard to get away at mo..x
Great video oblivion Scottish border and haven't ventured past Edinburgh, you've enspired me to travel the Highlands now happy travels dear :)
Hi Anita, new subscriber here. The highlands are beautiful. Once you visit you will always come back. The Green Welly is great. Great video 😎 all the best. Paul
Paul Sheard cheers Paul.. .I do try and make the vids informative but also to show the splendour of the place x
Glad you're enjoying Scotland. At 9:00, you mention that the woodland reminded you of "Fairyland", and wondered if there were fairies or goblins there... if you'd travelled 200 metres along the road from The Clachaig, you'd have been spot on, as that hillside was the location for Hagrid's Hut in the Harry Potter films.
dont encourage the fuckers here !
Steve is the hut fae harry potter still there or not cheers pal 👍
My hubby took me to Loch Lomond park up exactly same place you went for my 50th. Birthday. We absolutely loved it there. Are we arrived at night? And woke up in the morning to those hills and mountains. And I actually cried. Because I never thought I would get into Scotland and for my birthday. So to see somebody on TH-cam enjoy it as much as we did. Did thank you.
Awww im so glad you got that kind of happiness that Scotland just gives to who ever visits... Its such a beautiful area.. I think in the white world..
I think what you have done by going it alone for the first time all that way, is absolutely fab! I would be stopping at Cafe's and bars too. Check out the local vibe etc.. and maybe the chance of meeting a stranger to natter too. It can be lonely sometimes. I hope this inspires you get a bigger van and reap the comforts and amenities on board. It suits you. And if I ever see you around, I would love to chat with you. You are really great in your vid. So natural and true. Big love to you. One love always. X
I had same reaction visiting Glencoe last month, found it overwhelming how beautiful it is. Off again next week for 3 weeks in Highlands. Hooked on it 😁
Sleeping in a Berlingo and eating pub grub isn't wild camping 😂😂
Beautiful Scotland glad to call it home :)
We stayed in that very location on our trip round the highlands in middle of March just a couple of weeks ago, we loved it so much that we parked there again 3 nights later on our way back down as there are lovely walks for our dog
so beautiful the views ^_^ lovely video, thumbs up
just watched this n i feel inspired to solo scotland thx made me smile lots
Great adventure, you've got the space you could cook some food/drinks in the van. Just need a few burners.
I'm your 900th subscriber lol :-) I'm glad I come across your channel, and this video is great. Parts of Scotland are totally magical " Im biased because I'm Scottish" hahaha ... I will keep watching your channel videos old & new :D
A fat Cook in a campervan congratulations on being my 900 subscriber xxxx.. Didn't think I would have got this many... Thankyou for watching.. And Scotland is one of the most magnificent areas in the world for its awe inspiring scenery and the people who reside there too xxxxx
I watched the whole trip in one night :-D great watching .x.
I love these vids of scottland!
Just catching up with this adventure. Nice to see places most people wouldn't film. That pie looked nice!
Oooo good that your still watching the vids x
Was waiting for you to set off with your backpack!
You probably had to wait a long time. Lol x
I waited until you shown us the back of your van and realised I was t watching a tent vid!
Great video - really enjoyed watching - thank you
Paul Newton thankyou..x
Good for you, regarding this enterprise :-) I am most definitely inspired to follow in your tyre tracks. I've just subscribed and would like to follow your progress. Great stuff :-)
Boundless Blake Films awww thankyou ...hope you do get up there x
This brings back memories. I used to work on the other side of Loch Lomond at Rowardennan youth hostel.
That’s cheep for the roll and coffee you try and make it for that,glad your enjoying the trip ,just chill and take it for what it is,your alive and health for now ,old jimmy west australia , x pat
You should try the Wild Atlantic Way Ireland somtime..some absolutely stunning scenery..
You must come to Finland to the saimaa region , you'd love it . Lemon grass spray works with the midges
I've been to that exact location on the loch. Beautiful isn't it?
love your Passion!
ive subscribed !!! great vlog and concept !!!
I hate how they rip visitors off. Up the highlands is notorious for it. If you ever go self-catering, buy food from Aldi or Lidl, in central Scotland on the way up. You won't get ripped off that way.
you still get lidl and aldi in the highlands ahaha
@@benmaryon7874 Where?
Joe Ninety Dingwall, Inverness, Alness, Invergordon and that’s just to name a few, in the highlands there are small businesses owners based on the side of rural roads, they have their prices high because they are a small business in a place that won’t get many visitors so they need to get money hence why their prices are so high
Joe Ninety if you are going along the west coast they are going to definitely have high prices because of all the tourists that go up their in the summer months
looks like u had a great time 😊 👍
If your ever out that way again try the fried egg and square sausage with tatty scone roll
I’m planning on doing a few mountain hikes and swimming in the lochs with hopefully a camp atop one of the mountains in the summer of 2019
Read the comments on here sadly a lot is a about a sausage barm not the beauty of the place you where I was on Arron last year and it was £5 a pint and they would not do me a shandy so I had to buy a pint of lemonade what was £4.20 , I would much rather had paid for the sausage barm lol
Hehe.. I agree x
Imagine doing this in Australia? You give of nice vibes. Namaste 🙏
Just found your channel. Well done on getting out there on your own. Atb.
Modest Adventurers thankyou x
love your videos
Thankyou for watching them.. And liking them lol x
Iv just had two weeks in the highlands wonderful can not say it in words
Lovely country and a lovely person.
Thankyou x
I was there 3 weeks earlier, didn't stop at the Green Welly, but parked in exactly the same spot at the Glenn Coe 'layby' before walking to the river right there. How strange. Didn't get to the 'Highlander' castle tho, or Skye :( maybe this year! Thanks for the upload
Awww is such a beautiful area.. You really must get upto skye and beyond. Xx.
atinamoon I need to go off season, would love to go as far north as I ca and maybe check out the Orkney’s in Aurora season!
Well done you.
Onwards and upwards :)
The Clachaig gully was an easy stroll near your last night stop.
GL66LPF Is the Registration of the silly car driver that spoilt the tranquillity of Scotland by Blowing there Horn for absolutely no reason. The car was an Abarth 595 and at the time was only a few months old,so I am guessing that the owner was terrified of any vehicle coming within 100 feet of there precious new car LORL....Great to see you enjoying Camping in your little Berlingo I have stayed in one on a number of occasions and it's a lot warmer and dryer than a tent...All you need is to have a 12volt kettle or a small gas cooker for making Brews (mines tea with 3 sugars thanks) this will save you money as it's bloomin expensive in touristy place cafés....Best regards Steve Liverpool
Steve Jones awww thankyou for being so vigilant for me.. It did give me a jump when I heard the horn.. I love being in the remoteness and do consume alot of coffee so have got a kettle of im no were near a cafe.. Think I must have made the coffee producers very wealthy.. Xx
Scotland is fab we did it in our flair back in 2017 wonderful experience .....what happened to your flair x
Flair still with me..I'm sat in her now at a pub stop over for the night...she's too gorgeous to give up on..needs a bit of work doing but worth it.
Nothing like an adventure to blow away the cob webs..just subbed you atb chris
chris outdoors UK thankyou Chris.. love the Highlands x
Have a good time be safe, OK. I will keep you in my Prayers, Amen, Reverend Buddle
hi was there a reliable mobile phone signal ?
Hiya! I'm doing a solo Scottish tip next week. I'm hoping to find quieter spots off the beaten track beyond Loch Lomond. Anything must haves for the list of things to take? Thank you. M
a map back to england... i will allow you 1 week then you can fuck off back home.
Still berserk,still entertained !
Nice little waterfall...i would've camped right there !
Iain110110 Hehe.. Im glad your still liking the vids xxx
I was staying in glencoe last week.its a magic place.really enjoying your adventure.felt every word you said about humans ruining nature 😕
Done wild camping in Scotland never stopped on a road or layby pull up on to a side road then get off the road ,anytihing above fort William is good, you need to find a couple male and female to join up on a night or all female . We've (my partner and i ) have done the tour of scotland several times, i the ony time was worried was near ranock moor. Gail said she could hear some one outside, we woke up next day surrounded by highland cattle useing the van as a scratching post, we had a westie that slept in the cab he was our alarm untill he got old deaf and knackered
rannoch
In atinamoon’s life this is wild camping. In mine, wild camping is myself, a tent and big open spaces. I’ve had times when my tent is bending that much, I wish I was in a campervan. A campervan would also mean my wife who has an illness would be able to camp with me, but that’s not my bag (sorry wife). Each of us like what we like, regardless of what we call it. If you don’t like her views don’t watch her videos. Please keep them coming.
will Gingell awww thankyou for your comment... I do agree wild camping is a tent and back pack etc... But because this term is used so extensively with in the campervan community its rubbed of on me... I would like to call it van_ping..
atinamoon like I said Anita, it doesn’t matter what you call it, as long as you’re out there doing it and enjoying it. 😉
respect to you,hope you come back again :)
Just found your channel 😊 thanks for sharing .,! x
barry g hope you enjoy x
Can you please tell us what camera equipment you used to film this? Nice work.
RandomMattyness all off my Samsung s7 x..thankyou x
That is impressive. I like your style.
@@mattbroomer2000 yeah the s7 does have a great camera
Love your personality! Love the views. Well done on your adventure. Hopefully more to come!
PS @ 6:50 I don't think you did anything wrong, as you indicated, the idiot behind you was probably impatient that you didn't go into the middle lane quick enough.
Thankyou x.. This was two years ago.. Probably be going back up to Scotland soon again but in my transit campervan this time.
Welcome to the heelands! Where I'm trying to buy a house just outside Inverness, it's sooooo beauftiful there!
i bet your English right ? fuck off.
great. enjoy the pure nature. cosmic blessings
courageous ! well done
Good on you hen, well done on your solo trip a wee stove and a trip tae Aldi you'd saved yourself a fortune fae those rip off merchants and got better grub.
great vid there were a lot of places you could have stopped overnight with no camper buses around a bit further up from luss your first stop,
BAT 21 thankyou... Next time I shall venture further. X
Does sleeping in your car and eating in restaurants count as wild camping?
excellent outlook keep your chin up lass.
Ronald Dornan thankyou x
Fantastic, I want to do that 😁
Oh mate just watched your video and fell totally inl love with you
I wish we'd met on our travels, I think we'd have gotten along very well... Good luck with your future and travels..
Thankyou.. Maybe one day we shall bump into each other x
@@atinamoon well hopefully I'll have my motorbike up and running by the summer and I hope to be doing Scotland again, so who knows we may cross paths and share a whisky or 2..x
Cracking video 👌, love abit of wild camping myself I've got a 2005 berlingo multispace which has more than enough room, if your ever in Liverpool come say 👍.
Brother Mark I shall try and remeber too xxx..tha kyo u for watching the vids x
Your welcome think I have watched most of them 😁, thank for the entertainment and look forward to more of your adventures and of course yummy Indian cuisine
You so look like lily Allen. Brilliant video. Thank you for sharing.
Wow that's a first looking like lilly.... Thankyou x
Hi there is Scotland ... I have many ancestors there .... but none with blue hare .... a pleasant day to ya ...
you have ancestors in scotland ?? so you have a time machine too ?
Love your videos ..went to the haunted station inn had the beef ..you still in your berlingo my brother got one how you converted it to a camper a genius..
Awww thankyou for watching them... I've since sold the berlingo and now got a proper campervan. You will see flair the campervan on the next few videos. This trip you on was two years ago. X
@@atinamoon carry on the good work ..ive traveled most places you been the uk is amazing, i loved scotland ,camped for 3 months in a tent .washed by the river lol
loved the vid and you looking for all your vids lol
Lovely lady come back and enjoy beautiful Scotland 👍👍👍
no dont.. theres waaay too many English up here.
I would like to confirm this is not wild camping it is driving and sleeping in a van, wild camping is in a tent in the wilds not a car park or the side of a road.
BrotherGrim2012 I agree xxx
Yeah it is wild camping in campervan terminology maybe when you can afford to upgrade from a tent to a van you'll understand better
atinamoon Good for you, going out and doing it. Britain has a lot to offer. I've been hitting Scotland for around 10 years now and still not bored. Take in the surrounding islands if you can, the peacefulness is something else.
binwaitin Hahaha give all us wildcampers a camera shot of your lay-by, gravel track and we'll show you the view from the top of a hill/mountain, you rich guy you...
Any other rules you want to share as your obviously in charge?
Never mind creams just get a midge net 👍
The green welly in Tyndrum naw.... Just naw, maybe for for fuel, no food...Wish I knew you where coming up this way...
When are you coming to Ireland ☺
Wild camping usually involves a tent. Are you not just Wild Parking??
£6.50 for a sausage sandwich, I would have had a heart attack.
bronte366 I nearly did a flip.. Was expensive but realised the additional charges of transporting the food goods to this area and staff etc it all soon adds up x
That sandwich would have cost at most 30p to make if they bought supplies from a supermarket, from a wholesaler it would cost a lot less, I know they have other costs but a 160% markup is obscene 🤯 ...pure greed in my opinion, partly its sellers and partly its greedy local government business rates and just British culture in general.
I get my breakfast at a bakery in a village in Spain, delicious fresh coffee (not like the crap we have in the UK), tostada con tomate which is 2x large pieces of fresh baguette type bread (they bake in store), with fresh tomato with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar, followed by a freshly baked croissant for ~£2.70, and they often give you a free small piece of cake. The nice bakery by where I live in the UK charges £3 for a baguette and their coffee is meh at £2.75. I much prefer to just cook all my own food from scratch whenever its possible, it's far cheaper, healthier and whilst not up to restaurant standards it's still nice.
I know UK/Spain are both different economies and cultures etc but I think I understand them both well enough to be sure that in Britain, we as a society, are just much more greedy.
That was a hell of a ranty about a sandwich. 😆 I need to go meditate.
The sausage meat will give you the heart attack eventually. Animals revenge Ha!
@@10aDowningStreet ..you are an Arsehole.
@@10aDowningStreet ffs mate its a sausage 😦
Cool 😎
excellent , realy good vidio
Do you cook in your van
Hardly cook in van... On holidays I prefer to eat out x
Beautiful
Brilliant.
ectomorph thankyou xxxx
I bet it is an overwhelming experience...
just started watching your adventures..................nice vid thanks xx
Englishman in Malta thankyou x
i watch all your vids of this tour really nice, I did a tour around Scotland about 10 years ago, two weeks driving and at about 3/4 i would stay in B/B's really cam across some beautiful places, your way a lot better very close to nature ...
Brilliant 👌👌👌👌👌🙏🙏🙏🙏
