⤈ WHO WE ARE ⤈
We are Philly and Keely and we live full time in our tiny home on wheels Martha. After building our DIY home in a Citroen Relay camper we spent a year living on the streets of London before quitting our jobs only to be met with lockdown. Then we took our van further than she had ever been before to the very beautiful Turkey. Enroute we stopped off in Spain for a few weeks where we experienced every van lifers worst nightmare, we were robbed and they stole all valuables in our van. But now we are back on our feet, fully MOT’d and back on the road through Europe before we experienced another vanlife nightmare... our van caught fire! After the trauma of that we had a massive change of plan and have now made our way to Japan. We enjoyed a three month Japanese Adventure and are now back in Martha ready for some more adventures.

I love Keely's laugh it's so joyful. After being on the wonderful Isle of Arran, I went to Isle of Skye but only stayed there a few days as it was too windy, and busy with too few good parkups, so I left and returned to Arran. The Midges are a real pain.

@@phillyandkeely it’s a gonna be a tough one! We have similar mountains with that elevation in British Columbia, best advice I can give is to not eat too soon before the hike, bring double the amount of water you think you’ll need, and keep pushing at your own pace. About 1/2 to 3/4 way through the hike your body will adjust to the strenuous activity. You’ve got this!!

I think you'll enjoy that just as much as climbing a few stairs 🙄 you are right to encourage people to visit in the shoulder seasons though, Skye is unbearable at this time of year. Stuff quietens down dramatically soon. Scottish kids are back to school this week. As soon as the English hols end it gets a lot easier.

@phillyandkeely
@phillyandkeely 11 месяцев назад
If you want my honest opinion I would chose to do the islands in summer instead. But it depends on what you want, obviously the NC500 is famous for a reason, but if you want beauty AND isolation go to outer Hebrides islands. You direct message is anytime on IG for advice 🥰

OMG, my heart sank when I saw the title, I thought something had gone wrong for you, glad it was just over tourism!! I think its a really common problem not just in Scotland. Everyone is going to the same "top sites" to take the same selfie they saw on Intragram during the years of lock down. Go out of season, or go to somewhere nearby that's almost or just as good but hasn't gone viral as a "place you must see"!! Hope you're not running out of time for Scotland, there's still so much more to see. Definitely worth going up to Ullapool and beyond to the north coast too. I've never been to the Outer Hebrides, that sounds exciting!

Some places I recommend are: Allt Chranaidh Waterfall (wailing widow doesn't come up on Google maps) ferryview campsite near John o groats, so quirky and they do a pit stop if you don't want to stay overnight use of fresh water and showers. Cocoa Mountain hot chocolate (Dornoch or durness) smoo caves and a toastie at cheese n toasted food van they do vegan cheese. Dubrobin castle. Balnakeil Beach. We saw dolphins and it was so special. lochinver - so stunning and make sure to get a pie here! They have veggie ones. We done a stunning scenic drive to ullapool from here. We done a nice mountain hike called quainag, I'm like keely I am so moody on the hikes but I did enjoy lol. I recommend the distilleries we had to miss them but heard they are so good. We had problems when our van had been driving a while it refused to start! It took 30 mins to restart. £400 later and 2 new batteries it turned out to be the stater motor! Beachah na ba or Applecross path is some drive but be prepared its a tricky one. Just a few from stop of my head x

Keely, you are right, Scotland is moody and atmospheric. Thank you for climbing up and down all those hills and steps to show us the views. I love seeing the mountains and waterfalls of my parent’s homeland again. I would say June and September are the best months in Scotland if you want to enjoy the ( admittedly always mixed) weather and have less tourists about.

We came back from the NC500 two weeks ago in a camper van ,,,,, there wasn't much traffic , we had fantastic weather and most of the locals loved tourists and made us welcome , regarding campsites we never had a problem and roadside camping wasn't a problem either ,,, many people leave negative comments on videos which discourage tourists which isn't good for the local businesses , vans that are self sufficient with toilets, showers and washing and cooking facilities arnet the problem,,, it's the few that leave a mess behind them,,,,, remember ,, leave no trace and take nothing only memories

Yeah definitely good shout on early in the day, can't imagine how busy the fairy pools would be with loads of tour buses! Old man of storr is good isn't it! I wasn't expecting to enjoy it so much, it's just a big rock, but in person its actually pretty cool! Bet it would be awesome to watch a sunset from up there.
