North Coast 500 Scotland road trip: Campervan part two
This was the road trip that made us fall in live with Scotland 5 years ago and why we keep coming back to explore more of this beautiful country. The NC500 has so many amazing stops and breathtaking views that when I was editing this video, I decided it needed to be split into two parts.
As the name suggests, the North Coast 500 is roughly 500 miles of winding road that mostly hugs the Coast with plenty of stops in between. This video covers the North and West coast from Tongue to Oldshoremore Beach to Shieldaig.
We woke up early (drove a few hours) and headed straight to Ceannabeinne beach where we were hoping to ride the zipline. Unfortunately the weather was too bad for it to be running but it did mean we had the beach all to ourselves and the sun did make a brief appearance. This beach is beautiful and the sea is lovely on a calm day. The car park is small so you aren't guaranteed a space and make sure you take everything home with you - leave no trace!
Next stop was Oldshoremore Beach which is a gorgeous sand beach and a great alternative if you don't have time or the mobility to walk to the more we'll known beach of Sandwood Bay. Both incredible spots and if you time it right you'll have the place to yourself.
There will be a video coming soon detailing the full itinerary we took on this road trip (Cairngorms, NC500, Isle of Skye and Loch Lomond) so you can experience our highlights too - watch this space!

Cairngorms National Park: Scotland Road Trip 2024 - Campervan Edition

Every year we do a Scotland road trip - usually in a car with a boot full of stuff and a small tent for wild camping. This year we hired a campervan for the first time, packed our oodies, and hit the road. Our VW transporter was hired from Swamper Adventures and was so comfortable and practical to travel in; we fell in love with it. First stop: Cairngorms National Park. This is our second time ...

Aside from the incredible music, there ...

      That is a tough question. On a clear day the skylift is spectacular and is more relaxing than the glacier walk. I think it depends how much you want to see the glacier as you don't get much time to spend there compared to the skylift.

    We weren't impressed. The Food in the Freedom restaurants with waiter service was very poor IMO, mostly cold or lukewarm food (if you're lucky) not good quality on the whole, hard potatoes, bland food etc. We had a sit down breakfast with waiter service once, they brought cold/hard toast to the table followed by barely like warm scrambled eggs on toast. Just awful on the whole, the Horizon buffet was actually a better option for food, but on holiday you want the table service. We had to pay for speciality restaurants to get a decent meal. Sindu restaurant was nice & we had delicious steaks at the Keel & Cow, the Epicurean I thought was disappointing. Entertainment was OK, theatre shows not our cup of tea , we like the traditional broadway type shows you get on other cruise ships. We enjoyed the Rock Show but on the whole the feeling was the entertainment team was doing what they wanted & not what the majority of the customers would like. Didn't see the X Factor guy signing so can't comment on that. They had a live band that played in the 711 club, it was a nice way to spend 45 mins in a dit down venue. Marella does much better entertainment from our experience. The first time we tried P&O, we wouldn't go back

      Great video, can I just ask how often do the buses run with olden adventures too and from the ski lift as we are planning on doing the same trip as you did.

    Bodhi and I loved this. He can't believe there is a swimming pool on the boat. Shame to see Mark has lost his basketball skill

      Aww good 🥰 I couldn't believe there was a swimming pool on the boat! I maintain that I would have beat him if I had the proper shoes on 🏀

    Great review and you've caught the cruise bug! We cruised to the fjords on Iona in 2022 and completely agree with your review. She is a lovely ship and it was great hearing Captain Wesley in the background describing the ships movement in his special way. We had a conservatory mini suite as a special anniversary treat (but not one of the controversial ones on deck eight). So glad you enjoyed your first cruise.

      Definitely caught the bug! Captain Wesley was amazing, he made us feel very welcome and informed. Oh that sounds lovely, I think next time we will definitely have a balcony and we will probably be back to explore different Norwegian ports at some point 🙈
