    Molly, your video was NOT ramble-y! I really enjoyed it. I feel like it has a nice mix of views of nature, little towns and conversation with a sprinkle of van-life real talk in the mix. I appreciate a natural and not over the top super deep or super glossy travel video. (You know the ones I mean. Lovely to look at but just so overly produced.) For me you are a real person on a van camping trip and I love it 💕

    Such a good vlog! Showing the reality of being in a van… often great, sometimes cold or hard to find somewhere to stay. Thanks for a good representation of real life! x

    I really enjoyed your reality of vanlife. And the places you took us along too, Skye is just stunning. We visit often too.
    I also want to thank you for getting me into reading! It’s not something (reading fiction) I have ever done before but now at the ripe old age of 41 I have just finished my first actual book!! X

    Molly, I enjoy all your videos. You have a way of making it seem like you are talking directly to your viewers as a chat between two friends. I'm somewhat embarrassed to admit that I occasionally answer back out loud.

    I went to the Isle of Skye years ago before it became so popular it is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been to, just breathtaking, and you’re most definitely govened by the weather. Thank you so much for taking us with you ❤

    Dear Molly, I wanted to tell you how much your vlogs have helped me. I was stuck in a phase of trying to navigate my life by reading only psychology books. Whilst that has helped immensely, I now realise that it's time to move on and start living my life. I love your book recommendations. I'm reading Wintering atm and loving it. I love your idea of reading seasonally. Alongside Wintering I'm reading Wren Jones Practical Potions and Premeditated Murder which I'm also loving. So thank you, you influenced a shift most neeeded in my life. Forever grateful! ❤

    I loved this video. We were in (on?) Skye possibly at the same time as you and the weather was not the best! We stayed just north of Uig so passed through it quite a few times and not sure how to pronounce it either 😂 we did the Rubha Hunish walk and it was beautiful, we didn’t go to the ‘lookout’ building but down the cliffs to the peninsular. One for your list for next time. Also, I definitely agree with the recommendation for The Vanishing of Audrey Wilde. Thanks for the vlogs 😊

    One word for you THERMALS!!! 😆 We were in Yorkshire 2 weeks ago and it was down to 3. Freezing in the night and we forgot our heater. We have a low wattage blow heater and a solar panel. We set it at 17 and it kicks in automatically. Remote control means we can turn it up in the morning without moving. Diesel heater was too noisy for us. We're still learning too after nearly 2 yrs you'll get there. Great video and new sub here 👋

    I am the same in my van, sometimes I feel a bit aimless. In Skye I’ve found some of the smaller hills (marilyns) have been excellent walks with no people on them but views for days! I too avoid the honeypot sites.

    So lovely to see Skye Batiks - haven’t been to Skye for years. Have a wonderful batik wraparound skirt from there that I bought about 30 years ago 😮 and it’s still looking good.

    Molly you and Skye did it and that is the main thing. Each time I have been to the island Skye the weather does tend to dominate everything in a big way. Finding quiet walks is not always easy. Maybe one of those artic sleeping bags that also have a hood would keep you warm and cosy at night. Thank you for taking us along it was so peaceful and such lovely scenery to see.

    I enjoyed the video as usual. Thank you for sharing!! I love Skye and really hope to go back soon. So beautiful!
    I'm doing my first overnight minivan camping next weekend - staying at my friends' place. They live pretty rugged, so I figured it was a perfect time to test out van life. I have a 4" memory foam mattress that I took tent camping a few weeks ago - It's a bit too large / wide, so I'm thinking of cutting it in half lengthwise (a saw?!), stacking the two halves on top of each other, and having a couch-size 8" memory foam mattress instead. 🤔
    Well, anyway, thank you again for sharing. ❤

    Hello Molly, thank you for your lovely videos! I enjoy each and every one of them. Just a tip from somebody who wildcamps a lot in cold weather, make sure to get a good sleeping bag (0 degrees comfort). A sleeping bag liner also does wonders for keeping you warm! Best wishes from Germany

    If you have a ceramic vessel with sand in it, placed in a stable location with enough height above it so nothing burns, you could light a tea light or two, or other candles, and it might be enough heat to allow you to sleep again.

    Hey Molly, what a lovely vlog! I loved to see glimpses of your van life. thank you for sharing different sides of it - it makes your content pure, relatable and more enjoyable. I loved to see some places I visited in Skye and new ones too (definitely want to go back :) ).
    On a totally different note - My mum and I went for a day trip to Aberfeldy! I had LOVED your video, so I wanted to experience this wee village for myself too. We went to the Birks of Aberfeldy for a lovely walk first (the colours were stunning!) and then we went to the watermills for lunch and, then of course, a bit of book shopping. Thank you for sharing unique and lovely places of Scotland x

    Hey Molly, I love these van life vlogs and I was only just wondering this week whether you'd be doing another one soon and he we are! I love feeling (as I'm sure a lot of us watching do) that we're right there with you (and Skye!) on these walks etc. I was out hiking yesterday nearby around Ercall and The Wrekin on a 10 mile hike and I couldn't believe how sunny and warm it was for the most part?! Def tee shirt weather for a while (especially as I was sweating profusely after some very steep inclines in my jacket)!

  • @greylilycalligraphy
    @greylilycalligraphy Месяц назад +1

    Love this!! And the views!!! Stunning!!! Would love to see a bit more on what you buy for food in the shops and any shopping you do (those shops I’d have to purchase something!!). I have to say you are such an inspiration bc you are so brave!!! I so admire you going solo!! I’m being very nosy, but does your partner not mind not going or do you just not film him? Thank you for taking us along on this cozy trip!!! ❤

    • @hippyhighlandliving
      @hippyhighlandliving  Месяц назад +1

      He doesn't mind me going on solo trips because the van would be a bit tight for two! We are planning some trips we can do together next year :)

    Molly you need to get a Hazel stick or a shepherd's crook for all your walks. A stick helps enormously for balance and stability on uneven terrain.

    Hi there! 🙂 I am curious if you ever encounter on your walks other dogs or animals. Romanian trails, especially the ones that are close to ship flocks (guarded by dogs) are particularly dangerous. Scotland is beautiful, by the way!
