Two Weird Beans
Добавлен 3 июл 2021
Hello! We are Ben and Jess and we are Two Weird Beans!
Our name came about when trying to come up with a name for our channel and social media accounts and Ben expressed his concern that no one would find us interesting because we were 'weird awkward beans' and so we thought hey, let's just lean into it and so we became Two Weird Beans!
We make videos about our travel adventures and lives in general and we hope you find our channel entertaining and possibly even a little bit inspiring to go out and do life your way too.

Two EPIC Hikes In The Scottish Highlands
Просмотров 9214 дней назад
These were two easy but pretty epic hikes that we enjoyed a lot and are definitely accessible for beginners but one has a scary twist at the end! We actually met someone on the trail of the second who was re-learning to walk after an accident! So no excuses 😂 and some unexpected chaos ensued at the end of the second hike so watch to the end for that! #adventure #nature #travel #Scotland #Scotti...

We had a great time at Woody Bay and if you want to visit there are two best places to park. Woody Bay is located between Martinhoe and Lynton (and comes up on a google maps search). The first car park is at the top of the hill on Berry's Ground Lane and the second is slightly further down the hill on Sir Robert's Path. The walk down to the bay is very long and steep so please bear that in mind...

We Went Trampolining Underground! Exploring North Wales!
Those stairs looked very scary to traverse but the pay off was incredible, what an amazing find!
It was a little sketchy but well worth it! 😅
4:28 so, we saw Smile 2 last night and I feel like this image is bringing back past trauma😂😂😂 you look so happy with yourself though Jess😂
🤣 slightly less terrifying I imagine 😅
-2 🥶
Those steps looked incredible! You guys dealt with the cabin being locked up better than I would have. Hope it’s not too cold on the van atm
It was really disappointing especially after such a long walk! Pretty warm at the moment actually so barely missing it for now 😅
Is the bath water warm to shower? I am going during winter time so it will be unbearable if it is cold water.
Yes it was warm like any other public shower 🙂
Subscribed from India 🇮🇳, give good content
Thanks so much 😊
@@twoweirdbeans4077 I like your work, you have very less subscribers but you give good content
@sam-ld7ju thank you very much, hopefully more subscribers in the future!
Great video! I had never heard of the steps or the house. Glad I found your channel. 😊
Thank you! We try to seek out lesser known spots when we can 🙂
That's so nice
This is so good ❤
Thank you 😊
Are these the bone caves at Inchnadamph? Such a cool location!
Hi, we meant to put the location in the description but yes it is the bone caves! You have a good eye! We loved the hike there and the view from the caves was amazing 🙂
Did the new batteries work? That pyramid looks amazing, definitely worth climbing up the hill for!
The new batteries are working great 🙏 thankfully! It was really strange seeing a pyramid in the middle of Scottish woods 😅 but very cool!
I love seeing the reality of van life as well as all the travels of course. I hope you can survive without the heating!
Keep it up :)
So excited to watch your new adventure. Just throwing yourself into is the best way otherwise you’ll forever put it off. Good luck and happy travels 💕
Couldn't agree more, thank you! 😁
Very jealous, it’s a very gutsy move but must be so exciting! Hope you have a great time.
Thank you! Exciting and a bit scary 😅
That's a very mad idea, but good on you for just doing it!
Some great advice I learned a while back, is to buy some electrolyte powder satchets and bring them on every walking trip. Drop them into some water and you’ve got a great way to replenish all your salts lost through sweat etc. Don’t underestimate how much an electrolyte imbalance can affect your energy levels. Also, buy some quality knee braces. You’ll thank yourself on the way down. I used to get knee pain when walking back down mountains, now wearing knee supports I never get pain.
Looks like you did it on a particularly gorgeous day.
Such a fun video with helpful tips! Cant wait to fly out in just over a week!
You forgot tip number 7, don't wear jeans to walk up Snowden, it's really not advisable
another tip… wear walking trousers or walking shorts! definitely wouldn’t recommend jeans
I may not have noticed watching the video, but I think there is a reason to mention that all public baths in Iceland have gender-segregated areas.
Yes that's true, we didn't mention it but quite right 👍
Hi what thickness of insulation board was used on walls and ceiling? I'm about to start mine and enjoying your build videos....cheers
So sorry we never replied, we disappeared for a while but we're back now! This is probably of no use to you now but just in case the walls were 100mm and the ceiling was 50mm 👍 our heater is currently broken but not too cold at all in Scotland at the moment so definitely glad we went for the thicker stuff!
How's your skylight holding up? Any leaks?
Sorry we never replied we've been off youtube but back now! No leaks so far 🤞
Hi Guys, 👋 What a breath of fresh air you both are. Myself and my wife have just bought a 2020 movano high top to convert and came across your videos. Great help as going to be fitting Maxxfans, cutting holes in roof and walls for windows cheers for now Ricky :)
Sorry we never replied we were off youtube but back now! Thank you so much and I hope your build is going well!
You don’t climb snowdon You walk it Most routes can be done with hands in pockets 👍
Went up Watkins in driving rain. Wearing what i thought was waterproof gear (Karrimor Weathertite) i was soaked through in minutes. My Karrimor rucksack and contents, change of clothes etc were also saturated. Months later i found a built in raincover tucked in a flap at the base of the rucksack. My waterproof boots filled with water channeled due to soaked trousers. I now carry a full waterproof oversuit. Do not underestimate the demoralising power of heavy rain and dont assume waterproof looking hiking gear is actually waterproof.
One trick I've used is to put spare clothes etc. in a dry bag (the type you use for water sports and are good even if submerged) then put whole thing in the rucksack.
Thanks,
Snowdon spelt this way.. not Snowden
another tip- forget the main summit and go to the adjacent peak of carnedd ugain. its only 20m smaller, and99% less busy!
You just sent all the local shops around Snowdon into panic as all their merchandise has 1085m printed on it, not 1083m! Actually a funny story, a few years ago a group of guys with extremely accurate gps equipment were re-measuring some of the local peaks, including Snowdon, the the local shops were praying 1085m was right otherwise they'd have to reprint everything, luckily the the results were 1085m was spot on! The Watkin path is lovely and if you ever do it again come down the south ridge as that makes a stunning circular route, the Snowdon Horseshoe is considered the most scenic route but of course that's a little more advanced and not for everyone. Boots being a necessity has been a big talking point in recent years, with many now thinking that a pair of approach shoes or fell running shoes can be far more comfortable, especially on good weather days in the warmer months, trick is to stop the second you feel any rubbing and if there is no blister yet use something like Hypafix tape to protect the area, or if there is a blister already use a proper blister plaster which are amazing these days. Good video though, well shot and you both have fun personalities!
thank you so much! Doing this next week! Going up the watkin path but coming down the South Ridge. Am worried about getting lost. Hopefully the switch from Watkin to South Ridge is signposted
Get the train it’s easier
Normal geothermal pools scattered around Iceland in most if not all towns here use chlorine in their pools. We just use less then in other countries where you are not required to shower thoroughly before entering. :)
All, excep one, local swimming pools in Iecalnd are cirulating water. Tati is due to healty regulations. There is no other way to keep control of substances in the water. The more clients swimmingpools get, who has not showered thorugly without swinning clotes, the more -unhealthy the water get. In simple words, it is almsot the same water in icelandic public swimming pools. So respect othe guest´s and clean yourself, before enter.
Walked the Pyg track to the summit of Snowdon in 1967 and again in 1968 i remember standing on the train platform and being level with the top of the clouds that looked like you could have walked across them they were so dense.
I climbed snowdon in air max 97s, no water only lucozade 😂 no blisters or anything
Legend
had to be done lmao@@almostfamous1685
What time did you reach the summit ?
This should have many more views
My two tips: Get there by bus. Enjoy the views. Feel smug about not leaving a trace. (There’s excellent S buses all around from Llanberis, Caernarfon, Porthmadog, Betws y Coed where they connect with trains and other bus services.) My other tip is not to climb Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon)! Why climb something that’s inundated with people when there’s so many other fine mountains with hardly a soul on them?
The food looks amazing!!!! We are a vegan family and going to Barcelona in October! We love to eat all the vegan food we can!!! ❤❤
You'll love it, there's so much! 🥰
@@twoweirdbeans4077 🥰🥰
A little vaseline between toes and on back of heel and the tendon that spellcheck doesn't recognise my spelling helps. Did it in Altberg Army boots because they so comfortable and supportive for ankles. Lots of people were doing it in rubbish trainers, probably not a good idea. Lots of Quinoa with chicken, bananas,and 2 ltr of water was good for me.
Was that sheep up the top I could hear?
what country is this?
England 👍
Use merino wool hiking socks to avoid blisters
Enjoyed that hike. I’m be following the train track up in a weeks time. I hike regularly here in Scotland but the 3000ft+ on rock and steps is going to play hell with my knees which is my biggest concern.
We had very painful knees on the way down which was almost worse than the way up! 😅 take care and good luck!
Hi, I have the same van that I bought converted. I’ve damaged both the skylight and solar panel😮 (don’t ask, too embarrassing). When you bolted the panel to the roof did you add internal support to take the bolts or just washers?
Hi, I hope the damage isn't too much and you can fix them! 🙈 I'm slightly straining my memory at this point but I'm fairly certain we didn't add any additional supports (in mindsight perhaps we should have) but I think the bolt just went through the fibreglass of the roof and then tightened the nut straight up against the ceiling on the inside with a generous helping of sikaflex to waterproof it and help support it. I wouldn't necessarily advise others do it that way but that's what we did 😅
@@twoweirdbeans4077 Thanks so much for the reply ☺️ I’ve basically ripped the skylight off & damaged the panel (it still works but a lot less efficient). Thankfully I’ve been able to get van roof watertight but I need replace the skylight asap & like what you’ve done with the mastic tape to level off the roof. Pretty sure I could have a bash at same although I have a tendency to make things worse when diy-ing 😂. I’m a bit paranoid about securing a new panel myself but think I may just add some plywood internally to where I drill through just for some added support. As far as I can see my current setup the panel brackets are simply sikaflexed to the roof but not 100% as there may be bolts I can’t see ( I bought van post-conversion). Thanks again ☺️
Yeah the mastic 'levelling off' thing worked well and helped to provide that watertight seal. Our entire van is very obviously a DIY project 😅 it doesn't look the prettiest but it does the job and we're proud of it! I think the idea of putting ply on the inside is a good one, in hindsight I wish we'd done something similar. Not that we've had any issues but it does feel like it would help make it more secure. I would guess you do have bolts as well as sikaflex as I don't know if sikaflex alone would hold it forever, unless the previous owner went really basic with it! Let us know how it goes 😊
wow... that lake at 1 minute 😯
Actually there is chlorine in Icelandic swimmingpool water, so the bathing policy has nothing to do with this. Still there are many natural pools and bathing that are not chlorinated.
❤ loved this xx
I do not understand why people take the time to make these videos then don't bother to say what time of the year they visited? Super annoying 😒
Admittedly we didn't mention the month but we do say in the intro that we visited at the end of winter/ beginning of spring. We were there end of March into early April 👍
Me and the husband just did the Llanberis path, and although it was supposed to be the easiest, we were still in heaps of pain the next day! I luckily didn’t get any blisters, but my feet were sore! Just from the long walk I’m thinking, so it’s a bit unavoidable. I bought some new walking shoes with a hard bottom and walking socks!! Probably wasn’t wise to wear brand new shoes, but I didn’t suffer too much and I’m here to tell the tale lol 😂 your path looked much more scenic and I would like to do it again from the other side!
I love the term 'easiest' as there are no easy ways right? 😂 Well done on your climb, Llanberis is a long old trek.
