Ive got a GC 600 and live in Aberdeenshire but am originally from Morpeth. We were in the same car park in Aviemore a few weeks ago, small world. Keep making the great videos guys!
Loving the accents and footage 😂 you guys are having a riot!! The sign on the back reminded me of a a free holiday with two lads that smuggled a vibrator into my travel bag that I ended up finding and moving to a mates bag 😂
Sitting watching your vid and realised I know that guy....Mark was year below me at school. Small world, he was great at rollerblading back in the day!
Cotton + valentine really helps, melt some candles or vaseline etc into liquid and pour it over a heap. Then just take a bit and ligt it when needed :)
is it? we are heading over that way today with the intention of doing the islands of mull etc but with the winds the ferry quite possibly might get cancelled in which case ill take your advice and head up that way instead!
Seen u guys in at Broadford Coop petrol station ⛽️... never knew u done TH-cam videos.. U have really Smart Campervans... Also when u drive through the tunnel at strome its customary ti blast ur horn to wake up the Fairies...
Awesome video! Loved watching. Now I would be much more for up for a mass tour like this for say 20-30 people, than an overnight show like overland show etc. just throwing it out there is want to organise one!!!
Looks absolutely awesome that drive and all of your camper vans WOW!! I’d absolute love to do it but 1 problem no van😢 before my daughter was born me & my partner went on a road trip to Rome in a (cooper s) & on the way back we went up stelvio pass look that up, if want a challenge and views it’s a really nice drive keep posting those videos looks awesome
@Chris Sloanes haha, yeah very Top Gear like now you mention it. Loved that and love this mate. Always look forward to seeing your vids bud. Quality assured 👍
Great video guys. Definitely giving Top Gear and Grand Tour a run for the money. Have driven Applecross in a small VW hire car before but not in our own van yet.
Next time you're up skip Fort Bill. Instead take the Corran Ferry over to Ardnamurchan peninsula and soak it up . Sanna Bay, Lighthouse, Kilchoan, ferry over to Mull. And some of the best (but windey) roads and scenery.
Well done lads...very entertaining. It was a bit like watching top gear, only with an extra person I cant understand🤣🤣🤣,,,,,,I will try that CC thing next time😉
Great Vans. Magical landscape. How long are your vans? All 6 metres? Or is there also a 680 or 7 metre? I've been to Scotland twice with a rented 6 metre van. Loved the roads. Would now like to buy my own. MAN 4x4 680 - Now I'd like to know if I can still use it to drive Applecross, Drumbeg, Glen Etive, Hushinis,... all the beautiful narrow and winding roads. So theoretically? Of course, I still have to get used to the dimensions and practise at home in Germany.
@@ChrisSloanes yes, but I saw other smaller manufactures that use the same roof ( identical shape ) so i think that vw buy the roof and than install on the van
We there normally once every few weeks, love the campsite but in the winter we go where we did in the video which is the car park next door to it and just stay there for the night.
Aidan does mate it’s UrbanArkOverland but Mark doesn’t however he is on instagram. Armour1983 I believe it is. Thanks for the comment mate glad you enjoy the videos
@@ChrisSloanes thanks mate i appreciate that I will have a look for them, keep up the good work your content this great o yeah come on mate apple cross is amazing lol 😂. Atb Wullie 🏴✊🏻
Im upset y’all get better mpg then my 03 explorer… going 65 best i seen in 1200 miles was 23mpg but on average with being a little happy on the gas I averaged about 18mpg
That’s definitely not a 2019 model sprinter someone’s lying. It’s a pre facelift model to the previous model 3 generations behind probs 2005-2010. Still a great van never the less
Would be epic to be able to afford one of these. Currently in the 4 - 10k price bracket, which buys a lot of milage, worn engines and reliability left to be desired. On top of that a bunch of works to convert something that may blow a headgasket tomorrow. #Demoralised
@@ChrisSloanes don't buy a 4x4 sprinter then, mine isn't good on fuel now I'm building it out and have fatter tyres on but then I didn't buy it for its economy🤣🤣🤣
Enjoyable video but you obviously don’t know the etiquette of driving on single track roads Driving in Convoy is a no no leave a passing place between you and the car in front of one of you pulled in to allow an oncoming vehicle to pass where do the other two go ?
Chris, I have just become a subscriber and am binge watching. Please be careful using your Walkie talkies, the same rules re use of mobiles phones apply to walkie talkies too and you have provided evidence for a prosecution including your vehicle reg. 🙀🙀
Loved this!
Not about the Van's, like so many other videos, but about the fun you can have in them.
Well done! Excellent video boys. Keep it up!

Ah sweet. we are up aviemore quite a bit to be fair so ill keep an eye out next time too.

Small world indeed mate
Right that’s it. You lads need to come over for fire lightning lessons.
Fire lightning ha 🔥
Those things are impossible lol give me matches orca lighter anyday
@@armour1983 there is a knack to them. I’ll show you next time I see you.
I do actually need some off grid survival training for the next time my van breaks haha
@@ChrisSloanes Iv got a location for a camp in the woods. Give me a few weeks to get the new van and we can sort something
Do a series of this type of shows. This is so very different than other RV content. Might even make it on T.V too.
Brilliant video, loads of fun!
👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it!
Happy new bike, well deserved 👏 🙌 love the red pinorello great channel lovely couple..
Love the Top Gear style fantastic scenery
Glad you enjoyed it!
Cotton + valentine really helps, melt some candles or vaseline etc into liquid and pour it over a heap. Then just take a bit and ligt it when needed :)
Great video guys, that's what i all about... fun and great memories :)
Most entertaining video style I've seen for a while. Loved it!
👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it. Took some work but i am happy with how it turned out.
The best drive out of Applecross is continue north through applecross and out the other side. Unreal!
is it? we are heading over that way today with the intention of doing the islands of mull etc but with the winds the ferry quite possibly might get cancelled in which case ill take your advice and head up that way instead!
Seen u guys in at Broadford Coop petrol station ⛽️... never knew u done TH-cam videos.. U have really Smart Campervans...
Also when u drive through the tunnel at strome its customary ti blast ur horn to wake up the Fairies...
Great video 3 good m8s having fun in 3 amazing vans keep it boys do a trip here in wales next almost on par with our celtic brothers
Superb video. Looking forward to the next installment.
Awesome video! Loved watching. Now I would be much more for up for a mass tour like this for say 20-30 people, than an overnight show like overland show etc. just throwing it out there is want to organise one!!!
Think chris was stressed trying to orginise just us 2 lol 😆😂
Was hard work planning it for us lot never mind that many. Imagine that applecross road with 20 vans on! chaos
@@ChrisSloanes that would be a disaster. Almost certainly something falling over the edge!
Would have loved if you guys also compared the 3 different interiors
Well I can tell you that marks MAN has the nicest, Aidans sprinter has also almost as nice and mine is awful 😂
Yeah, fair play lads, you got me. Subscribed
Thanks man. Glad you enjoyed it

Loved this video, fully entertaining and funny 😁 looking forward to part 2 👍
Like a poor mans top gear i suppose haha.

Nice one 👍🏻
Dont call it Applecross pass on the NC500 group....I got told off a few years ago🤣
@@voyageadventurevans be lach ne bah?
@@urbanarkoverland that's it🙂. Nice coming over from the Applecross side.
Ace lads love it 😂😂😂
Thanks mate glad you enjoyed it
Wow gorgeous vans ❤
Every shots has a good angle

Can’t wait for the royalties to come in.
Be like noddy holder.
great video guys keep it up
What walkie-talkies do you use?
Well done lads...very entertaining. It was a bit like watching top gear, only with an extra person I cant understand🤣🤣🤣,,,,,,I will try that CC thing next time😉
Which could you not understand? surely the Scot and not me? haha
@@ChrisSloanes I couldn't possibly say😅
Definitely the posh geordie
Just brilliant….!! 🤣😂👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Absolutely stunning 👌 😍 🍾🍾🍾
Fun video, I fully expected Chris to go flying off that little bike, definitely need a part 2
I was pretty impressed with myself that i didnt fall off to be fair
Just watching this one where did you get the two fires from ?
Good production
Thank you!
What radios you using and what's the range like? Great vid!
Wee were using the dewalt radios worked great didnt have any range issues

GLAZER
What brand was the long orange hooded fleece being worn at the end of Applecross?
😂 welcome to the applecross pass it’s a nightmare at times getting up it
Just found your channel, its brilliant. Do the other 2 fellas have youtube channels?
Glad you enjoyed it mate. Aidan does it’s @urbanarkoverland
which firm produces the High roof of the Grand California? someone who knows it?!🤔
No idea since it’s made at the VW factory themselves
@@ChrisSloanes yes, but I saw other smaller manufactures that use the same roof ( identical shape ) so i think that vw buy the roof and than install on the van
Really enjoyed the video. Now subscribed 👍. Do the other lads have a channel?
I do mate 😉
@@urbanarkoverland Just subbed 👍
@@RogueAdventures82 nice
epic road... is that the one from one of the trips by Hammond, Mays and the other guy?
What kind of led light bar was the amber one and where did u get it
Stayed on the site you rode onto in aviemore , great beach
We there normally once every few weeks, love the campsite but in the winter we go where we did in the video which is the car park next door to it and just stay there for the night.
I like the Vibe! What camera is it?
Can we have more about the vans please
What type of tyres are used on these vans ?
Great video mate not long came across your channel love the content, do the other lads have channels ??. Atb Wullie ✊🏻🏴
Aidan does mate it’s UrbanArkOverland but Mark doesn’t however he is on instagram. Armour1983 I believe it is.
Thanks for the comment mate glad you enjoy the videos
@@ChrisSloanes thanks mate i appreciate that I will have a look for them, keep up the good work your content this great o yeah come on mate apple cross is amazing lol 😂. Atb Wullie 🏴✊🏻
Chris.. Is that a lightbar about ur sliding door? If so which 1 please?
It is but it’s factory fitted on the Vw grand Californias
@@ChrisSloanes do u know what wattage it is? I'm looking at a 150w light bar and thinking it maybe like a floodlight 😊
I couldn’t tell you mate. It’s just a Led strip. Not particularly bright just enough to illuminate outside the van really
What patagonia top is that please sir?
More footage of inside the campers would be good content 👍
Im upset y’all get better mpg then my 03 explorer… going 65 best i seen in 1200 miles was 23mpg but on average with being a little happy on the gas I averaged about 18mpg
Hmmmmmmm, yer have not found it yet then ! I'll see if yer find it next episode. Don't think yer will though.😉
That’s definitely not a 2019 model sprinter someone’s lying. It’s a pre facelift model to the previous model 3 generations behind probs 2005-2010. Still a great van never the less
hi lads, love the video,tell me ,was that Glenmore campsite?? looked lovely. cant wait to see part 2.
Hey! Thanks glad you enjoyed it. It was the car park next door right next to the pub!
Technically 2 of the vehicles are volkwagen, the worst mpg being 4wd. They'll both have the same engine, unless 1 is a twin turbo
What’s the make of your fire pit/bbq lads? Great vid too
Thanks mate. It’s a BioLite Firepit. Awesome bit of kit. Bluetooth fan control settings so they pretty much smokeless too.
@@ChrisSloanes cheers bud 👍🏼
Gençler yaşıyorsunuz bu hayatı 💯
Soooo need a part 2 🥰
What was it about
Amazing ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Would be epic to be able to afford one of these. Currently in the 4 - 10k price bracket, which buys a lot of milage, worn engines and reliability left to be desired. On top of that a bunch of works to convert something that may blow a headgasket tomorrow. #Demoralised
Did I hear that right? These vans get OVER 20 MPG!!!! ?? 😳
Wow!
Yeah they all easily average 25mpg.
great video, right laugh you lot. MPG challenge, if i could hit 25mpg i'd be over the moon 🤣😂🤣😂
Thanks man, was a pig to edit though haha. I always thought my grand cali was poor until i done this roadtrip haha
@@ChrisSloanes don't buy a 4x4 sprinter then, mine isn't good on fuel now I'm building it out and have fatter tyres on but then I didn't buy it for its economy🤣🤣🤣
Videography is fine but …. If you consider how it would have been with Clarkson, Hammond and May….
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Vive le fastforward.

You've obviously never done the bealach na ba...and seen locals come steaming up your butt
These guys talking about 23 mpg while I average 8 mpg and don't have 4wd.
wow thats some low mpg. what you driving?

Pure comedy on “Chad, living the van life” , Though I do watch his videos 😂
haha i couldnt resist putting that in there. Aidans impression was on point!
