    Skye is beautiful.... You're spot on about the Coral Beach.. On a warm sunny day the place is amazing, and the colours of the the beach and water are unforgettable... A few hours you will remember for the rest of your lives with utter clarity...

    Alex- You have to try square or Lorne sausage in a fresh bread roll with HP sauce and a cold can of Irn Bru during a hangover. Instant cure👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
    Emma- you are a natural for presenting programmes like this. 😊👍
    You two make great videos together. Keep them coming.😊

    Square sausage and a sea eagle, Alex, you can die a happy man now(but don't, not yet). So glad you went for it Emma and got in that water. I got in a freezing cold lake on a hike when no one else would, it felt fantastic, so invigorating! Everyone needs to "take the plunge" in whatever it may be when the mood strikes, you just have to. Thanks for sharing more of Skye with us, loved it!

    I was there 2 months before you! Did a 10 day trip.. half on Skye, half in Lochinver conquering Suilven. I had incredible sunny weather for the whole trip! All the places, you visited.. the coral beach, The Storr, Portree, The Quiraing… swum in the Fairy Pools.. even know that layby close to Dunvegan castle! One of the best trips of my life.. you have to go again in good weather!

    Your videos are such fun to watch and have really given me a desire to ditch the Caravan, get a CamperVan and explore our fantastic country. The idea of not knowing where the next day and night will take you, is a great way to discover ‘gems’ that might otherwise remain hidden, only known to the locals! Huge thumbs up to Emma for taking the plunge. We could feel that temperature through the screen! That thumbnail really captured the moment!👍🏻❤️👍🏻❤️👍🏻

    Skip the Fairy Pools and continue down Glen Brittle - when you reach the 'phone box and the houses head up the track to your left and visit Eas Mor - the highest falls on the island. The track seems to be nothing much but then the falls appear, dropping in a single cascade into a ravine.

    You guys are just so full of life! Expressive of the sights and scenes, but also of your love for each other! Your joy spreads so contagiously to us your viewers. So thanks for the scenery that you have taken so much time to explore and enjoy and share. The fun of campervan life, roving without time limits, exploring around each corner, going further than the crowds to the unknown, the less crowded. Just enjoying your series as a late subscriber, but keep up the drone work and exploring. Have been to Scotland twice but not to the isles. Graeme, NZ

    I was literally talking at the screen when you were at the Fairy Pools to hike further away and you'll probably have it to yourselves - glad to see you discovered that on your own. Most people park in the paid lot, then walk a short distance, oooh and aaaah, get their photo ops and then take off. When we visited, our B&B host told us about the free car park someone else on here mentioned, so we hardly saw anyone when we visited (and we went in summer). I love all those places you visited and camped at, now I want to go back and see everything we missed on our too-short trip there.

And these are just as important as tropical coral reef systems for providing a sink for carbon!.. I visited some years ago in Irland on a geology field trip... To still work in geoscience and climate research.
