As we take our motorhome to the Outer Hebrides for the first time ever, things are not quite what we were expecting. Stunning beaches, ancient history, and of course, LOTS of wild swims, this turned out to be one of our favourite road trips yet! #vanlifeuk #livinginamotorhome

So nice to see a 'van life' video where it doesn't go on about being able to 'park up anywhere'. There are good places that don't cause issues, and well, not such good places that give van owners a bad rep. Glad you enjoyed the Uists. Next time, try Harris and Lewis (although the driving isn't very van friendly). Even more spectacular beaches, mountains and islands scattered like confetti in the lochs.

Uist sounds and looks amazing. I was talking to a Skye resident at the weekend. They appear to be 2 types on Skye. Those who benefit from tourism and those who hate it. She claimed its ruined the Island. Beauty spots are destroyed by all the crowds. Her friends have started erecting signs telling non residents they aren't welcome and putting rocks and posts down to deter wild campers and van lifers. It's refreshing to hear The Hebrides haven't been affected in the same way.

Hi Gemma and Campbell, another fantastic vlog. There was part of my work I was involved with more than 40 years ago all depended on Cal Mac to the outer Islands. Outstanding vlog. do we live in West Sussex possibly because we are 150 mitres from the sea. Nothing like a dance a few drams especially if is it a Glen Grant. Regards Crawford

Great video - you’ve added another destination to our to do list. But get yourselves to Lewis & Harris - Luskentyre beach is to die for (take advantage of the Lewis trust parking). Also Harris gin distillery in Tarbert is great and makes the finest gin - take the offer of the sugar kelp in your gin. Heavenly!

The Outer Hebrides are wonderful, Some fabulous campsites on the Uists as well as great wildcamping spots, You have so many more great beaches to discover. And don't miss Barra and Vatersay. The tombolo beach on Vatersay combines the Caribbean on one side with the wild Atlantic on the other. Great drone footage: brings a new perspective. Thanks for a lovely film.

We will be on the same ferry to Lochmaddy next year and will be travelling in the dark to Balivanich. You mentioned how dark it was. How much traffic got off of the ferry? I think it is best as a first timer to Uist to let everyone pass me and then take my time. We were on Lewis in Sept and as travellers from Canada we appreciated how light the traffic was.

@@grantw7 hi, in think it's mostly single track roads if I remember rightly, but if you take your time and if you do get people behind you just pull into the many passing places and let other road users pass, I found the roads a lot quieter than what they were on Lewis/Harris. The locals seem very friendly there and nobody that I seen was in any kind of mad rush.
