DANGEROUS DRIVE! & Beach Clean By Our Cottage On The Isle Of Skye - Ep88
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ต.ค. 2024
- Willie, Sarah and their dogs, Jack Spaniels & Nori, continue their biggest adventure yet - leaving suburban life and moving over the sea to a remote cottage on the Isle of Skye, off the west coast of the Scottish Highlands.
This week, the Skye Lifers are on a mission to clean up the beach outside their cottage - with a little help from some new friends that is! Plus, we have the bright idea to use Yolanda - our Land Rover Defender - to make the cleanup job a bit easier...and it doesn't exactly go to plan!
We get down the track to the beach just fine, but getting back up again is another matter - with Yolanda's wheels spinning and sliding dangerously close to the steep precipice...will we get her back onto solid ground?!
Thanks for watching & see you in the next video!

Sarah, Willie, Jack & Nori x
whats the weirdest bit of flotsom you guys have found so far?
You need a winch for the front of your Land Rover Yolanda. That would keep you from getting stuck in the mud.
Can I suggest you go on a 4x4 driving course.
@livingtheskyelife would love to purchase some if your Christmas calendars Sarah let us know when they are available
Love that you’re not just living the Skye Life but acting as wonderful custodians for your community, I hope you inspire others to follow your lead. Big love to you all x
It never ceases to amaze me (and depress me) how much people litter. They have no concept what they are doing to the environment.
Thank you for aiding in beach clean and thanks to the Scottish Council team too. Loved the clean woods.
It warms my heart to see so many people working hard to clean up the land. Thank you to Willie and Sarah and everyone who helped. The woods looked so beautiful when you were finished.
It is so disappointing to see the amount of garbage that people so rudely leave behind. On the other hand, it is so uplifting to see people like yourselves working so hard to clean up the garbage and help the environment. Thanks so much guys!
Very few people visit the beaches. The majority of litter is flotsam from the fishing industry.
That cleanup was heartening. Thank you.
Well done both. Brilliant beach clean, you're a credit to your Skye community ❤
Yay for you, Ally! How interesting the way you got into producing your beautiful pots. Thank you Sarah and Willie for featuring Ally on your video.
Willies repurposed colourful shed boxes looks aces!!!!!
It's nice to think of wild-caught fish and seafood as better for the environment than cows, chickens, and pigs, and maybe they are to a degree, but this is a good reminder that everything has an impact.
Thank you for being good stewards of the land. ❤ It’s evident how much you care for your surroundings, preserving for all to enjoy - both four and two-legged creatures.
Seems weird to see all that trash in that beautiful, pristine countryside. Sadly, I guess it’s every where. Glad to see people caring about the environment. Thanks guys.
It's just heartbreaking how much trash people leave. It's a worldwide problem and I am so glad to see you both and the crew from Glasgow gathering and recycling all that plastic into lovely useful pots and tools. If only there were more people that cared. Bless all of you for your hard work ! Love and hugs 🥰🥰 xx
Thanks for all your efforts with the clean up of the beaches - if more people took an interest in doing this on the beaches near them it'd make such a difference!
Thank you for being part of the solution - so happy that you are safe and sound
Willie your cooking skills are speggtacular 😂. Definitely going to try the brunch option. 😋.
Who knew you could recycle rope into plant pots. That's amazing 👏. Well done on the clean up, I wish more people were like us. I live in a village and we have a local clean up every month. It's so sad that others can't see the damage litter does to our environment and wildlife. Sarah I loved your painting of the Highland coo last week. So super talented. ❤
So happy Yolanda made it up the hill without bumping into a tree. Been there done that with our 4x4 pickup truck on a very slippery muddy forest road. First bump hurts, second bump adds to the memories, lol.
Love you guys you do such a great job, love the Isle of Skye channel xxxx
Kudos to you for promoting trash pickup! And love that you partner with a plastic recycler. Thank you.
Great video. Thanks Willie, now I have to make those muffins. Thanks for cleaning up Ski. I wish more Americans would be so nice.
Well done guys. I loved the ponys and how they wanted to be beside you whilst doing the beach clean.😁
It wouldn’t be Sunday afternoon without a video from you all. Thank you!
Love to see how resourceful people can turn rubbish into useful items like plant pots. Another enjoyable episode. It’s become my Monday morning staple. 😁
Well done! Amazing clean up job. Planet earth thanks you :)
Wonderful to see so many people helping with the beach cleanup! It is astounding and sad that so much trash is left behind. Relieved Yolanda got through the muck. ❤
I’m so impressed with everything you’ve doing to clean up your area. Ally is a real champ! Thanks! Cheers, and ATB!
It's heartbreaking seeing what we are doing to this wonderful planet, but you're various cleanups restores some hope.👌Thanks for your edit and upload.
Well done to you both, the Loughborough team and Ally for the great beach cleaning effort. Such a shame that it will probably get replaced by more debris from the fishing industry, on the next tide. I hope you don't mind but I have shared this video with the Marine Conservation Society, a charity I support and they were full of praise for your efforts and they loved Jack Spaniels and Nori too!
We are coming to visit Skye from Australia in less than a month - your videos are making me very, very excited for our trip!!
Well done for cleaning up the beach and woods
Awesome job cleaning the glen. Job well done!
Well done, that's brilliant. Thank you so much for looking after your beautiful area ❤️
Really enjoyed that
Well done guys … a great watch as usual 🏴❤️
I’m really impressed with the amount of debris you removed!
It was a real team effort.
Loosing control of a vehicle is very scary. I’m relieved you got up that track.
Your mushroom melts have my stomach grumbling for a taste.
Great show. 👍 see you soon
It's so amazing how much the fishing nets are just disgarded by the boats!! Thank you for cleaning up, it's something that's needed and you're probably one of the few people that do that on the waters edge and in the woods. Wow! That's a huge pile that you guys collected in the woods. Glad Yolanda didn't go over the edge! (from Sandi)
Hi Both Good job guys what a big difference a team effort & a little time can make to such a beautiful place 👍 Willie, your muffins looked absolutely delicious thanks for a good video all the best guys 💖👍🙂
good clean up effort, by all and to have some reused is always a bonus.
Your videos are great - so uplifting, thank you & long may they continue
It's good that you're all helping in cleaning up the environment. Nice to recycle a lot of the trash. Awesome job! Scary that Yolanda was slipping on that hill. Glad Willie was able to get it out of there. You live in such a beautiful place there. ❤
What a fantastic cleanup job you've done. ❤
Great job by all!
Awesome clean up!! Great work!! I look forward to your videos all week then hate it when they come to an end!! 😁
An absolutely cracking vlog. You guys are all legends. The planet thanks you. ❤❤❤ You make us all so proud. 🎉🎉🎉
Those horses are so beautiful. And well done in clearing up all that rubbish 😺 X
👍👌👏 Definitely an amazing clean up again! Congratulations 🎉 2) Of course I'm eagerly looking forward to see what and how the stuff gets recycled.
Best regards, luck and especially health to all involved people, dogs and plants.
Well done,stay save😊❤
How about an off roading course to gain confidence! Thanks for the video! 😘😘
Good on you two for your environmental efforts. As for traction concerns with Yolanda, I find that airing down our tires by 10-15 psi makes a big difference when off-roading in our Jeep Wrangler. Less air pressure means that there is a big increase in the “tire to road surface” contact area. Thus, more traction area. Plus, the ride is much smoother. Once you get back onto a more “normal” driving surface, don’t forget to air back up. I don’t know how much air you inflate to. We carry just under 40psi normally in our “larger than stock” tires. I would air down to 25-30psi for that muck that you were driving through. You just don’t want to air down too much such that you “break the bead” between your tire and your rim.
Brilliant video this week guys 😊
Absolutely brilliant effort by all the volunteers, well done everyone involved! I love a good beach clean. Regarding some of the ghost gear you found that you intend to skip, there are companies that will collect or even pay for any significant nets/fishing rope you find.
Waterhaul is one such company! I often exchange discarded fishing nets and rope for discount on products!
We save any decent nets and rope for Ocean Plastic Pots - they take it to be recycled into plant pots!
Brilliant work on your litter cleaning ❤
It is wonderful how much you do to keep the beaches/forest clean! Thank goodness all went well with Yolanda, tense!!
Great video guys! Well done to you and all the team for collecting all the washed up rubbish, tremendous work!! ❤
Thank you. Good job as stewards ofSkye. Jack Spaniel and Nori had a week off!
Haha yeah! They had a light week on the cameras 😅
Awesome job with the clean up!! Good job getting up the hill Willie! I loved the bloopers, Sarah, be careful on those books!! Thanks, have a great week.
❤
Love your lovely life ❤❤❤
Great job on the cleanup! And so happy to hear that both of you and Yolanda are safe. So scary.
Well done to Ally. We've seen his pots for sale down here in the south of England which is brilliant.
Ah.. Sundays. I'm always so happy when this week's video drops.
Same here!
Good work - I'm trying the brunch option too.
Thank you for doing such great work keeping the isle beautiful. Lowering tire pressure gives added traction in a pinch.
Happy Sunday everyone ❤
Happy Sunday!
Happy Sunday to you too. Always happy Sunday at 6pm with Willie, Sarah, Jack and Nori.
Happy Sunday!!
Wonderful job done! And how beautiful the forest and the beach became.. 🤩
*Awesome clean up by all involved 🙂 Well done in getting Yolanda out too 🙂nz*
New Zealand here too..North Island 🏝 ❤
Thank you for such a great video...I must say that I was left with my mouth open at how much waste was gathered around the beaches
...but the woods beat all expectations‼
😃🌠
You are very inspiring. I had a similar scary experience years ago slipping on a downhill icy dirt road. Fishtailed around a curve and gunned up a rise to pavement. Scary
Just love the "spring cleaning" on the beach and in the woods.
What a fantastic team effort !! ... you are incredible ! ...thankyou for your selfless acts of kindness in caring for our planet! ... so heart warming knowing there truly are many beautiful humans all around the world making a difference ... ❤ from Australia
Another great Sunday! I can't believe how much plastic and netting you find!❤
Saving Skye--good job.
Ooh Loughborough that's the town I call home ☺️
Truly REMARKABLE, and ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!
Just take care! ❤❤❤❤
Thank goodness your OK Willie .loved the vid guys .
You all are angels! You all got a good work out. Such a great way to recycle the plastic by making pots & other products. Can't wait to see the process.
Scary trek up the slope! Glad you made it up safely. Good thinking to "gas it!"
Brilliant beach clean up 👏
I heard that bog myrtle creams or sprays are good for repelling midges 😉
Great vlog and the art of off road landy driving was exactly the thing to do low ratio, diff lock and 2nd gear after gaining some momentum 👏👏 those horses are just fab 🤟🤟 also in the time it took to watch the vid the view counter went from 6375 views to 8500 views... Wow
Loved seeing the White horses. The farting horse was hilarious😂😂
Well done for the clean up 😊
Brunch looked good, will try that!
That looked like a millstone you stepped over Sarah when you went through the boggy bit getting boxes in the woods..... maybe a house there?
The horses are gorgeous and yes, fart a LOT 😊
Very well done 👍 Fantastic clean up. 👏👏👏
Thank you for the cleaning and clearing that you do.
Great work with the recycling too.
Take care xx
wow what a lot of rubbish collected you do such good work for the community and the woods looked great once it was all gone. I used to do something like that with big squares f white bread with a hole cut out and buttered inside and ham in the bottom and an egg on the top and pop it in the oven May try in the air fryer. I like it when you give us some cooking your way it inspires us to give it a try. Was frightened when the landi started to slidebut you got it up the slope in the end safely. Now you two stay safe and give those lovely boys a hug from Aunty Mel xx
Hello guys, What a fantastic job, Well done to you both and the team for cleaning up the beach! Only 29 days until i am on Skye!! Best Wishes from the Sahara😎. Les
Thanks for all you do for recycling and rubbish clearance! Makes such a difference for the coastline. Amazing just how far the storms carry all sorts of detritus. . Really wish I could afford to be a Patreon, miss out on all my favourite vlogs because of this.. Never mind. Enjoy what I do see! Have a good week.
Excellent information about recycling thank you for sharing this knowledge. 🎉
Hard work with great results. Thanks you for taking care of mother earth.
Fantastic effort with your beach and wood cleaning👏👏👏
Great video content folks, enjoyed it so much.
Hi Willie and Sarah I love watching your channel and your adventures on Sky. Your home is beautiful and so is the country side I would to live there.
Good work thank you 😊❤
How the heck do those horses see through that hair? Looks like they'd be shaking their heads all the time trying to get it out of their eyes. Your recycling really makes a difference. Thanks for what you do.
My home away from home time on Sunday afternoon here in Ontario, Canada ❤
Another great video and such a good job with the beach cleanup. Can't believe how much washes up. Loved the horses, they are beautiful! The brunch looked yummy, we have the same air fryer and it has so many uses! Have a great week! ❤
Well done on you're clean up. I can't believe how much stuff is washed up. You would think the fishermen would miss some boxes
What an amazing cleanup you did, glad you were safe getting up the slope.
So much rubbish you collected.well done to all who helped tidy it up.i was surprised so much was from fishing
I’ve put a thin slice of ham under the mushrooms in a muffin tin and it was brilliant, served on a piece of toast!
Another good vlog guys. Glad to see you mastered the Landy gearbox. Having driven them for many years it's all about gears & tyres. We're currently in Scotland again in our campervan. We were in Mallaig a couple of days ago, we waved across the sound but didn't see you wave back😂😂
The beach clean was epic!!! Great job!! Love that you are recycling plastic!!😊
