Who are Trist and Kez
We’re Trist and Kez, a couple in their 40’s. We’ve sold everything for a life on the road. Come and join us as we show you our Van life UK Travel Series. We show the best spots for van camping, hiking and exploring, from the countryside to the coastline of our home island.
👫🐶 Our aim as (another) van life couple (and our dog and cat) is to document each UK road trip we take, sharing tips and tricks for van camping in the UK. In summary, we want everyone to be able to access the magic that van life UK opens to us all. Adventures in the great outdoors. We also appreciate that travelling in a van with a dog isn't always the easiest, therefore everywhere we share is 100% dog-friendly.
If you would like to support the Trist & Kez channel you can buy us a coffee.

Thanks, folks and see you in the next episode…
Very helpful video! We are including almost all the things you mentioned for our trip :)
Hey Anisha 👋🏽, that’s awesome you found it useful. Will it be your first time driving through? You can’t beat seeing it for the first time.
Any questions you have just let us know 🤙🏽😎
Not yet join the van life club
But this will definitely be one of the top of my list
It’s one of our favourite places to visit and vanlife. There’s really no where like it in the UK. Any questions on Glencoe and the area we didn’t cover, just let us know 😎🤙🏽
The A82 has to be one of _the_ best drives in the UK. Whoever gets to be a bus driver on the Glasgow to Inverness route has to have the best job satisfaction ever! 😂
We said the same thing as well 🤣. It just an incredible road to drive. I imagine having a motorbike is insanely fun on the right day.
Great video, we love glenco so much and you really showed it off well. Well done. Chelsea and Mike
Thanks guys 🙏. It’s such an incredible place!! We are on the hunt for somewhere that packs in as much as Glencoe. Still remember the feeling of driving through it for the first time. Hope you guys are all good😎🤙🏽
I love Loch Venachar and the Duke’s Pass.The Cairngorms are stunning as well.
There’s so many aren’t there. We haven’t done either of the two you mentioned. So they are on our list. We still haven’t done the three loch forest drive either. More reasons to head back to Scotland.
Love cairngorms so much!
As one road, we were so impressed with the A82 through Glencoe. I think it’s how impressed we were the first time we saw it. Then there’s Glen Etive😍. There jutting so much to see, it’s insane 😎🤙🏽
Definitely agree GlenCoe is a must see in Scotland, my first time there was 2013 on a visit back to my country of birth from Australia.
It was what you might call a typical Scottish day, grey and low hanging clouds over the Three sisters, it was a strangely eerie feeling place, I guess maybe because of the history, but such spectacular scenery, my last trip in 2023 I stayed at the red squirrel for a couple of days, really nice place to stay surrounded by great views.
👍👍👍👍👍
It really is isn’t it. We are blown away every time we’re here. Each corner you turn you get a different view.
Plus watching everyone else here marvel at the sights shows how amazing this place is.
We’ve been around the area for a bit recently and the weather is never the asame 🤣. Dare is say it, we’ve had some of the best blue sky days in all our travels here.
There’s so much history here and we keep learning more and more from everyone we speak to.
Glad you liked the video and thanks for dropping us a comment 🙏. We have more glencoe footage in our recent video and on instagram. Have an awesome Saturday 😎🤙🏽
Drove it last June, beautiful, but i wish we would of taken more time to explore the many points off it you have shown me today!!!
That’s awesome to hear you’ve found some new spots 😎. There’s so much to explore along that stretch of road. We didn’t even cover the classic white cottages, devils staircase or hidden valley. But we still have some of those to explore ourselves 😀.
Happy travels 🤙🏽
Agree 💯 my favourite place up here in Bonnie Scotland 🏴⛰️⛰️⛰️⛰️⛰️ 👌 And it gets me every time too it’s just so special 😍
We could spend so long here. We’ve been up there for January, cold but still stunning. We always find somewhere new to adventure every time we’re there. Incredible place isn’t it 😎🤙🏽
Love this place brilliant stuff guys ❤
Thanks matey! It’s definitely one of our favourite places to visit. Still remember the first time we drove through here. Felt like something out of a movie 😍
I visit glencoe atleast once a month, my fav place to get drone footage! Next time you are here give us a shout!😊
That’s awesome to live so close. It’s a great place to get drone footage isn’t it. I saw someone on Instagram get some great drone shots of when the whole place was covered in snow 😎
Great video guys,Scotland is certainly beautiful,been once many years ago need to go back after watching this 😊by the way just found you both so obviously I subscribed,keep those lovely videos coming ❤️
Thanks Tony for such lovely comment 🙏. Scotland is such an incredible and beautiful place. I especially Glencoe. Thanks for subscribing, more to come 😎🤙🏽
Oh man, I thought at the end you told me “we love you” and I was like AW LOVE YOU TOO but then “Scotland” was added…oh well, I still love you & I love Scotland too, haha. Thanks for the lovely video guys ❤️
😂… Much love for the comment 😎🤙🏽. Glad you’re loving the videos. Have an awesome weekend!
Headed there in October
Great time of year to visit. No midges 😎
Defo a coffee fuelled vid 😂 Sadly we never made it to Scotland so can’t counter challenge 😂
Haha ☕️🤪. It’s worth the visit but so far away 😂. It’s hard to think of something that beats it 😎🤙🏽
Hey , could you please tell where is the exact location for Skyfall view point : is it close to kingshotel,, any postcode of sign post to stop
Hey Francis, the glen etive road is just down from Kings House Hotel as you drive towards Glencoe. I’m never sure of the exact location 🤣 but here are the what3words as close as I can match it.

Happy travels 🤙🏽
you missed Glencoe Lochan ..ohh dear
I think we’ll have to make a top 20 now. To many more places to see in the area. What else have we missed that we need to visit and see 😎.
@@TristandKez
Devils Staircase from Altnafeadh.
Lost Valley from 3 sisters car park .
Elliots Teardrop(waterfall above cottage at Loch Achtriochtan).
Grey Mares Tail waterfall (Kinlochleven) ..
all reasonabale walks with stunning views
and probably 1 of the most photographed locations of the Buachaille is the falls of the Coupall river ..when you turn into Glen Etive the car park is the 1st set of trees on left hand side at a small bridge
all great locations for views and great for your dog ..if you want a better view of the 3 sisters park 100 yds before the top car park on opposite side of the road and just walk up the path for 15-20 mins (path heading up Am Bodach-Aonach Eagach)
Wow, thanks so much for all these suggestions. Plotting these on Google Maps for our next trip 😎. Driven past a couple of these, promising ourselves we will stop one day. Looks like we have a nice itinerary for next time. If you have any more epic places to visit feel free to share them 🙏. I’m sure anyone reading the comments will find this useful too. Have an awesome day!!
@@TristandKez the Isle of Lewis/Harris is a must ..we spent a week in the summer there in our camper ..
Mangersta Bothy is part of the Linda Norgrove foundation ..its built into a cliff face ..bookings are advised in advance and they appretiate a donation to their foundation..
Garry Beach is just north of Stornoway(as far as you can go on the road ) ,great for the camper with a 2 min walk onto a beach that would be mistaken for the Maldives ..Luskentyre beach is stunning but parking can be a problem in season ..Knip beach is great for the camper also ..we havent even scratched the surface of the Isle but will be bk over soon ..hope this helps anyone
I done a short video on lewis on my page
I've driven Glencoe ...and Glen Etive many many times...stunning drives ...i normally park up at the Loch Tulla carpark...I know Dave in his Burger van... my business is from my van too,,, There's washing machines at the green welly in tyndrum,8 miles from Loch Tulla
It’s such an incredible place to drive. You can get lost in its beauty. The Green Welly Stop is a great shout. I think they have a drinking water tap there too. Just checked out your Etsy store, love the Hobo fishing reel. Never seen these before, looks really cool 😎
Britain is not a country . Please just call it scotland .
