    Hi both, thanks for this fantastic vlog. We returned from the outer Hebrides three days ago and enjoyed watching your Vlogs before and during our trip. We fell in Love with the western Isles and can’t wait to go back. Your camera work and the music you did with it just made the tears run down my cheeks. We would love to look after your doggies while you fly from Barra airport to Glasgow and back. And then the next day you could look after our little girl while we do the same❤ Anne, Anna and Sasha

      So pleased that the 3 of you 🐶had such a fantastic time. Hope the weather was kind. Thank you so much for your lovely comments too❤️. It’s a place that really gets to you if you like peace and quiet and lots of beaches. It would be lovely to fly on that plane wouldn’t it? Safe travels ❤️😊👍

    Barra airport not only the only one in the UK but is the only one in the world where scheduled flights use a tidal beach as a runway, I’ve used it a couple of times and is a real thrill especially the take off from the beach

Also those amazing reflections in the water. What an amazing trip you've had with a little something to interest everyone. Thank you guys xx

    So lovely, those beaches and backdrop. Fascinating on the aircraft landing with the tide out. Were you tempted to take the van on the sand after seeing that chap? 😂
    Beautiful beaches and happy dogs!
    All the very best, David & Rachel 👍❤️

    Watching Sea Eagles! How wonderful.
    And Otters too. I’m there!
    A digiscope is on my Christmas list. 😃
    I do use my long lens as binoculars though but nowhere near as much reach!
    That 4x4 on the sand 😃😃
    Amazing to watch the landing! I imagined that it would be on hard golden sand not on an area where the water is still around- wow!
    Those beaches are absolutely incredible!
    Another fascinating vlog Graham and Ellie. Thanks for sharing these travels!

    Wonderful video as always 😊 we are overdue our 3rd trip to Outer Hebrides.
    On our first we arrived in Stornaway & returned from Barra, magical.
    We enjoy watching the planes land / take off on the beach.
    We have flown by helicopter dozens of times to the Isles of Scilly, the helicopter lands on a grass patch between the beach & the Abbey Gardens 😂
    We would love to mind Jazz 🥰 Luna 🥰 Maya 🥰 whilst you fly into Barra ✋🏻✋🏻 ☺️

    • @Wizardinthewild
      @Wizardinthewild  5 місяців тому +1

      Hi Gillian. Haste ye back! We love the Outer Hebrides so much. Definitely our second home! Your trip sounds lovely too. I’ve been on a helicopter a few times, but not as many times as you. Would love to fly in that little plane 😉❤️. Now we just need to coordinate our trips! 🤣🐶🐶🐶. Safe travels ❤️😊👍

    What an interesting day at Barra Airport! I definitely must come over one day and see it for myself (not with the plane, but with my van 🙂). Thank you so much for sharing. And the filming at the beach was one more time absolutley stunning, it looked like the girls were walking over a mirror 🥰, just beautiful! Combined with the perfect musik, it was balm for the soul and I enjoyed it very much. Again: Thank you for your work, take care, Gabriela

    • @Wizardinthewild
      @Wizardinthewild  5 місяців тому +1

    Beautiful scenery. The flight would be amazing and the more I see the more I really need to get to these islands. I feel ashamed, as a Scot,that I’ve never been but it is not that easy now that we live in France and don’t have a a campervan😢

    • @Wizardinthewild
      @Wizardinthewild  5 місяців тому

      Hi Pam. That flight would be incredible wouldn’t it? Really hope you manage to get to the Outer Hebrides one day. There are places to stay if you don’t have a camper. They are also generally really flexible about cancelled or delayed ferries and the like. (We made a few enquiries). Meantime it’s certainly lovely to have you travelling along with us in Merlin. Take care ❤️👍😊

      We’ve had one offer so far Tony. Why, do you and Paula fancy a little drive up to Glasgow? 🤣. Or Maybe a little break in the Outer Hebrides? Hope you had a lovely holiday.
      Thanks for watching ❤️. Take care both xx❤️👍😊

    Very enjoyable, thanks. Can I just ask about your sat nav set up please? That looks like it’s a regular i- pad but what is the holder/bracket you have, and any particular app or software that you are using? Thanks

    • @Wizardinthewild
      @Wizardinthewild  5 місяців тому

      Hi. Thanks for watching and commenting. The bracket actually came with the van. It folds away when not in use. I use Google Maps on my iPad and a Garmin GPS
      I’m sending you a link to show you our satnav setup in Merlin ❤️😊👍
