- Hey everyone, I hope you are all well...
Here is my trip to the epic Loch Lomond and on to Glencoe - Scotland is such a beautiful country, I am suprised I dont have a bad neck from looking up at all the mountains constantly.
Enjoy and if you have any questions please ask them below.
Here is my amazon shop that has most of the stuff I have ever bought for the van...

Cracking rainbow shot Col, nicely done - sometimes those moments just appear, and you just need to take what you can see. You seem to be having some wonderful light, and the autumn colours looking spectacular too. Lucky you. I feel jealous I am stuck in the South and unable to get away.
Epic waterfall image too, I like that composition - very much like Janets Foss near Mallam.
And finally love the Skyfall image - the names pop top - Yorkshire pop top.
Glen Etive, we stopped over night at the Skyfall location last year, only van in the Valley... Wonderful. 👌🏻👌🏻
Nice vid. Thanks for 'keeping it real'.
So sick of other vanlifers with the sensationalist thumbnails and headlines like 'our van attacked by wild animals', 'worst night ever!', 'abducted by aliens', ' OMG!! 😲😲', etc,etc. You know what I mean.
Keep up the good work.🤘
Watched this one again, the Loch Lomond one etc were the first videos we watched of yours when we were waiting for our van conversion to come early this year. Fantastic scenery, red squirrel site is a must. And yeh my dehumidifier posts below.
Col, Smashing it again….as usual. Stay safe buddy 🍻
Great video once again Colin. Absolutely loving your content. Had my van kitted out today with a u shaped layout, so I’ll be watching all your other stuff for handy hints. Let the adventures begin! Keep up the great work
Really enjoyed this video colin. Some great photos too!
I've been to Scotland a few times but never in my camper, definitely need to do it. Shame I'm in East Sussex! Couldn't be further away 😣
One word Col .....Ace ....canny wait till next week 🐿
Awesome matey thank you
@@Yorkshirepoptopadventures I did tell ye tae consult the Oots , we laughed at the wee sisters bit but don't quote me 🤣🤣🏴
Cracking shots Col!
Its so beautiful round that loch , heading up there myself next week in my T5 love glen coe and glen etive aswell great vid
Hope you're good, love you're videos always put a smile on my face. I know you're probably back in Yorkshire but on you're next visit to the west Highlands you need to try caolasnacon Campsite it's right on the Loch and has some of the most incredible views you can get from a campsite
Ace that mate, just catching up on your Scotland content after getting back from a Tenerife hiking holiday 👍
Great video editing and story. ❤ it keep going.
Cheers for the inspiration Colin, both travel and van, taking early (ish) retirement next year and plan on following in some of your footsteps . Even going to dust off the Nikon J1 (hopefully better than the phone) Top vids, great presentation, loving the outtakes ... you could make a living out of this 🙂
I would love you to do photography tutorial type videos. Watching your video on your “cheap walkabout camera” made me go and buy a cheap camera myself for when I’m out and about.
Great video. You get the balance between, scenery, sites, photography and humour just right. Can always make me smile when I’m feeling a bit down 💕
hey Colin thank you again for the amazing videos which are stunning that you bring into our homes. Brilliant !!!
we notice your phone holder is always in place with what seems no problem sadly our luck isn't that good and they never stay in place you have helped us in the past and all been successful perhaps you could again please. all the very best and thank you ❤
Hey jilly... here is the exact one I have... :) amzn.to/3QObk1P
Thank you so much Colin. Roll on 2024. Take care ♥️
0:45 Olive oil? In the fridge? Who does that? 🙄😉
Cracking scenery up there though, isn't it?😊
Loved the pictures you took. Didn’t understand any of the technicals that were with them😂🤣😂 Take care Gill
Haha rare actual technicals 🤣🤣
New cupboard looking snazzy and nice!!! Love watching you pack everything in its place! Nice and tidy aiy! Thanks Colin!
I’ve been fortunate. To live 12 miles from Loch Lomond, have a fishing boat at Balloch and it’s now 35 years . Lomond is amazing. Heading north to Glen Coe is dynamite and you don’t need to go any further unless Skye is a target point . Loved your captured pictures and we all are happy to get the content. Well done bonnie Colin lol.
Absolutely love this vlog. My wife and I hired a camper in June and visited Scotland in it. We loved it that much we ordered our own and took delivery a couple of weeks ago. Looking forward to return next year. We don’t live far from you, so your videos have created many sites for our wish list 😊.
Absolutely brilliant photos. Brings back memories for us of walking the West Highland Way. Looking forward to seeing more of your trip.Thankyou 👍👍👍
Great video again Colin, Scotland is stunning in autumn, with no midges!!. We are looking forward to next week and your Skye footage.
You say you're not a landscape photographer - well I say you are Colin! You know which way to point the camera, your compositions are fab and you get the lighting and exposures spot on! Great vlog
Ah thanks Robert, I think that knowing my way around my camera helps a lot. But I have a lot of room for improvement re: composition and definitely patience 🤣🤣! But thank you again bud thats really nice of you to say
I think this is my favourite video you’ve done! Looking forward to watching next week’s video! 👌🏼🙌🏼👍🏼
Great vlog as always Colin.😊 The scenery is stunning, we were up that way in March for our Wedding Anniversary. We were diverted through Glencoe due to a serious road collision and that viewpoint was also packed with coaches in March lol! 😂. First ever time at Glencoe and fell in love with the amazing scenery, so much so we hope to return next Spring. Looking forward to your next episode. Safe travels x x x
Great video Colin. Love your authentic style. The drone footage is amazing. November in Scotland with camera is a perfect time of year.
Superb video Colin and Great photos, memories when we used to live near Loch Lomond. Not jealous MUCH 😂
OOT6 - licensed to quiff 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 some great photos there Colin - looking forward to the next one. 💕🐾💕🐾
Haha I giggled while creating it 🤣🤣
@@Yorkshirepoptopadventures 👍😊
Great video again!! Had some relatives up from Dorset a few weeks back and followed this route. They loved the scenery and the Clachaig Inn for a few pints 🍺
Fantastic video as usual Colin and brilliant photos, look forward to the next one. Atb
Cheers buddy! Sat sipping a wee dram of whiskey I bought in skye wishing I was back in those mountains
Glad your enjoying yourself up here mate,everyones a winner baby and thats the truth.
Dead right :)
Love it you 😂 no 1 remembers seconds best 😂
Haha I do the same thing with my wraps except more like a toastie. So I cut the wrap the same but on each quarter I put different foods for example cheese, onion, ham slices and a sauce on the final quarter. Then fold it up the same and cook the whole thing in the Ridge Monkey with a little spray oil, really tasty with a crispy wrap, try it!
I'll be doing that for sure... thanks for the tip
Been looking forward to this trip. Great first video, been up there many times, fab scenery and lovely photos, looking forward to the next one 👍
Ah thank you so much....
Niiice!
Evening Colin,
We are new to your channel and loving what we have seen so far.
PS maybe biased as we are from Wakey 😅.
Loving the latest vlog and the pics, plus the outtakes.
Your trip made us think did we travel that road 23 yrs ago on our honeymoon a 3 week trip around glorious Scotland 😀.
Looking forward to the next installment, all the best take care.
Paul and Joanne 👍 😁
Niiiice.
Ah, thanks for joining the ride (especially as a Yorkshire couple)
Take care
Absolutely amazing trip you’re on. You’re photography is amazing, did the eye for it come naturally or did it involve a lot of learning?
Great camping ethics also 👍
Really enjoyed watching as always.
All the best, David & Rachel ❤️
We have stayed at ferkin point quite a few times good stop at the slanj up the road need to phone ahead no need to have a meal but a few pints are always good
Great video. I’m trying to get back into Photography, can pickup an A7iii for
Great video. Love seeing our gorgeous country through other peoples eyes. Got the scotland bug yet lol
Ah thank you... I got the Scotland bug as soon as I entered... ill be back thats for sure
Picked our new T6 conversion up last weekend, so looking forwards to our Scotland trip next Easter after this.
Why wait, Scotland is just as beautiful this time of year and there are much less people. We are going tomorrow to the Highlands.
@@stevezodiac491 Believe me if I could I would, Work for
myself so need to replenish the coffers slightly before the Xmas break. Come the new year the work/life balance will shift in my favour.
Welcome buddy nice to see you up here ,hope all went well.
It's stunning and everyone has been so lovely too
Great video pal looked an amazing trip. Funny as always atb Mike
Cheers buddy! It was such a great trip
@@Yorkshirepoptopadventureslooks it pal I love Scotland but can’t beat gods country…. Yarkshar rules 😂
Love the photos. 😀
Thanks so much
Niiice first video Colin. Was ace to meet up. Shame we never got to the pub lol. looking forward to the next. l bet you got some cracking shots as you went further North.
Ah mate, it was great chatting... solo van travels can get lonely at times so it was lovely to have a chin wag :)
@@Yorkshirepoptopadventures Was only about 7hrs chat and a few beers and tea with lots of photography talk. Enjoy.
Loved it matey thank you for messaging me
You should have put those wraps on top of the ridge monkey while cooking to warm em up.
What an ace idea...
I’m up there on my bike in July and I’ve got to try and get that Skyfall shot after watching your upload lol. I’m guessing there’s an exact link to the spot on google
Yes matey, I just typed in skyfall in Google maps and it came up straight away.
Enjoy the riding matey
Il certainly enjoy the riding but I so prefer my Campervan to a tent lol.
Was at the Falls of Falloch and Glen Etive earlier in the year for my daughter’s photography project👍🏻🏴. Stayed at the Red Squirrel many times (in tents not taken the van yet🥴). Hope you visited the Clachaig 🍻
Sadly not mate, I ran out of time but I'll be back for sure
Subscriber meet up at the Red Squirrel with a visit to the Clachaig? Hope you enjoy the remainder of your Scottish tour😃looking forward to the videos to see where else I’ve been or perhaps still to visit 🥃
The trouble with landscape photography is, you can never capture what you see with your own eyes. A camper van is very adaptable, you can wild camp, you can stay on camp sites but on our next trip in mid november we are staying at some large self catering hoseasons lodges in the Highlands at Invergordon, which are very cheap this time of year. Using this as a base we are going to the East and West coasts, following the better weather each day and using the van as a day outing type vehicle this time. The thinking behind this is the early nights being dark at 4.30 p.m. and being stuck in the camper van all night all those hours.
First yet again😂
See you decided to get yourself a descent lager in for a change instead of that crappy Stella.
Ace!
Thanks hun
Another great video, random question but where did you get your push in pop out cupboard catches from?
Thanks.
Thanks buddy, I got them from here amzn.to/49K6MBY or if you're local to Leeds, Mega Van Mats in Pudsey also do them...
Great video, what’s the make of the dehumidifier and where can I get one.
Thanks buddy.... its this one :) amzn.to/3O8m5eQ
Thanks for the reply, will go great in the new campervan.
Licence to quiff lmao
Colin, why are you eating Branston’s dinner?
Haha because if I eat meat or have dairy the van toilet just won't be enough for the trouble it would cause my lower end if you get what I'm saying 🤣🤣🤣 - love meat, I just can't eat it without a LOT of toilet roll 😂😂
Colin have you tried rain-x on the inside windows to prevent steaming up?
Yes mate, sadly though the condensation from my breath just ends up on other surfaces...
A loch and a waterfall and no ‘wild swimming’ segment like a proper vanlife channel . Disappointed. 😉😂
Haha I'm definitely a fair weather dipper matey 🤣🤣🤣
Col.....did you ever do a video on your new worktop?
Yes mate, its about 10 videos back (installing the new battery video) - I think....
@@Yorkshirepoptopadventures Oh right.....wonder if I missed that then.....I'll have a look, cheers buddy 😁
It's this one bud ua-cam.com/video/m4TqfpI3AEk/v-deo.htmlsi=uuTM0SdhzUVocB3q
Ah good man, cheers 😁👍🏼👍🏼
So did you just fit over the two glass tops? Or rip them off?
