Miss Becky, you have definitely found your calling 💖. Thank you for sharing with thousands of us the beautiful places. A pretty lady with a great 😃 smile. Still lovin'it from Texas 💕🌹💖.
Don't ever worry about getting too deep Becky... It is the depth of your Heart and character that enhances all that you share with us. Thanks for letting us tag along on another wonderful chapter in your journey.
This was awesome Becky. I find your videos very calming. Take care.
Your enthusiasm for travel and making a life full of experiences is so amazing and brings joy through the screen.
You have an ethos that resonates so much.
Keep being you because you have totally got the meaning of life.
I wish you many many decades of continued adventure and fulfillment ❤
Thanks for taking us along Becky! You're amazing!
Beautiful…inspirational vlog.
Thank you for sharing with us.
I just love the emotion that comes through in this video. The very raw self reflection at around 7 minutes really hits home. Whenever I feel anxious or worried talking to myself in this way always helps. Then to follow it up with some beautiful footage was just perfect. Allowing the viewer to just take those thoughts and let them sit for a bit. Great editing and awesome content ❤
I second that - to sit in front of my laptop and watch one of Becky's videos is wonderful.
You and I are polar opposites I'm fifty years old and working in a factory and your out adventuring but found your channel when my first grandchild was born and loved watching your vids for me proper heart lifting
Quite rugged and beautiful. Thanks for the video. I like when you say bits and bobs, something you don't hear over here. Can't wait for the next video. Stay well and safe. Spring is on its way.
I am off to Scotland at the end of this month, going off the grid for a week.
omg girl what an amazing start to your life hope its a very long and happy one
Highland clearances, Duke of Sutherland will be the back story for a lot of the ruins. Notice in Golspie his statue has its back to the town (the people)
Great choice of music to start off the video. I'm guessing it is the sound of a hurdy gurdy. You started off great and you keep getting better. I admire and respect what you have accomplished.
Thankyou Becky. I love the way you describe your relationship with nature's beautiful places. Your words really take us along on your journeys. Best wishes from Australia.
Another enjoyable video. See you in the next one. Take care, be safe. 💕 Dorset, UK
Love this!! Brings back so many memories of my childhood spent growing up in Keiss. You have visited a few places that I frequented as a child and it feels so nostalgic to see them again. Thanks for bringing Scotland to New Zealand :)
There's a large Tescos at Wick. Other stores are at Thurso and Ullapool.
Thanks for sharing your new adventure Becky the scenery is beautiful,I’ve really enjoyed it and wishing you well on your journey. Safe travels. Thank you❤
Don't worry so much about salt on LR body's. Aluminium remember. Chassis yeah definitely 🙏🏻👍🏻
Hi Becky. Thank you for sharing your adventures. I always look forward to your videos. As someone who loves being outdoors hiking and wildcamping, I appreciate seeing others on their adventures also. The outdoors saved me many years ago and it's always been very humbling for me and a privilege to experience nature. Seeing your journey is both inspiring and heartwarming so thank you. That sunrise was spectacular. We are so blessed as humans to be able to witness these kinds of things.
Your storytelling and narration is wonderful. What a journey you are on. Keep on enjoying nature ❤
Brilliant video. Look forward to your ventures further north. Take care.
Absolutely incredible Becky, your such an inspiration to all. I look forward to the rest of the series
You are such a happy soul.
Loverly to see you having a great time.
Great video as always.
So it’s a 👍 from me.
Keep going. Well done.
Been looking forward to this trip,and wasnt disappointed,very much looking forward to all of your Scotland films. Be doing this myself next year,and im soaking it all up. Thank you and well done👍👏👏👏
Hi Becky I really like your channel, video was good looking forward to next one
Pretty great. Thanks, Becky, 🙂👍
nice Mr Bush Wacker and his dog
missed your pork & beans in potatoes cooking
Hi Becky looking forward to seeing your journey with you. Keep safe and have a Great time 🚙💐⛰️🌅
A lovely video Becky and I do so admire your desire to find out more of the land and the people. Unfortunately, many visitors are taken by superficiality of much that is presented to the 'tourists'. Much of our history is written by those who held and wielded the power and this perspective hides much of the story behind the landscape we see today. Dunrobin Castle, for instance, and the statue of the Duke of Sutherland which stands on Ben Bhraggie or Beinn a'Bhragaidh (Ben Vragay), seem impressive places to stop awhile and visit. The splendour of Dunrobin, however, hides a very horrific period of the area's history and the then Duke of Sutherland's part in it. The statue is impressive but the true locals look upon it in a different manner to those who are incomers or are visitors: the Big Mannie is not someone to look up to in their eyes. As you look around and see the ruins of the more distant past the tales they could tell would be very revealing. An easy introduction to this period in Scottish history would be the novel by Iain Crichton-Smith called "Consider The Lilies". The tale is told from the perspective of an elderly lady living during those times. Although a novel, it is rooted in historical fact and will help you begin to understand something of the landscape that you are passing through. A hardcopy, or Kindle version, is available through Amazon: amzn.eu/d/4qHkX9f (Are links allowed in Comments?) Sorry for dwelling on the 'school lesson' and sounding other than your video deserves. I do so love your adventures and also your enthusiasm is so contagious. Don't worry about being so 'deep' when talking of your thoughts. We all share those same kind of moments.
I did the NC500 a year or so ago, some of it on my own. My favourite trip/holiday ever. The west coast area is just amazing. I lucked out with a few full blue sky days
Thanks you’ve really made me want to do it now lol bucket list thing for me 😊
My plan is also to buy a Land Rover and convert to a camper. But because I am a single male 6' 2" I will be adding a fixed high top or an elevating top price depending. As an additional note solar panels do still provide power on cloudy days, I have a small 40 wattt here in my garden trickle charging my car battery over the winter when my car is winterizing. Really like your new awnings and the idea of lowering them if rain is coming to allow fall off.
Just beautiful! Thanks for sharing your adventures
Looks like an awesome road trip you've embarked on, Becky! Would love to see it for myself. I'll bet pictures can't do justice to the actual scenery. 🥰👍❤
Becky. I would like to wish you safe journeys and happy easter x
When one is on the "right" path, they just know, life flows. The more that we challenge ourselves by moving out of the conventional societal box, the more we expand, and we can never go back. We are explorers by nature. I travel full time in the Western US and this journey has been one of the best choices that I ever made. Keep doing what you are doing Becky--it is a matter of following your heart.
I’m going to follow all this series of these videos to see how many times you say beautiful 😂😂 there was 17 in this one, I love watching them, keep up the good work ❤️
😂😅😅
@@GirlOutdoorsomg i cant believe that you sent me a like ❤ back on some of my past comments thankyou and god bless you
Take care 👍 x
That was a great video Bec as always . Perhaps more emphasis on doing shopping in the small communities which I endeavour to do when touring to Scotland twice a year , every year for several weeks at a time. NC 500 has numerous such shops along the way. These shop keepers appreciate your spends more than the big outlets in our cities.
Thanks for sharing.
Wow Becky you are now in my past home location Inverness and I am really going to enjoy the following vlogs of part of the route I visited before the NC 500 became known. Hope the weather is fair to you.
My dear you are an inspiration to all people, especially of your age group. Keep it up. Cape wrath trip was so well done I loved watching you on that. You were brave and intrepid.
Hey Becky, thank you so much for sharing your amazing travels! I've been following along with every single one and they always leave me feeling inspired and wanderlust-filled. 🌍
Thank you again Becky for an incredible video. I really enjoy the way a person can relax viewing your videos. You said you like history and I'd suggest "Time Team" on RUclips for some great British history. It would fill in a lot of the gaps for you and have you looking for "lumps and bumps" all over the place as you go down the road.
Inverter is the word you're looking for with the charging of things 👍🏻
Really enjoyed this, thank you for sharing!
Becky your journey is incredible well done 👍
Absolutely amazing, thanks for sharing it with us.
Take care !!
Well, if the castles are closed there's always the distilleries Becks! 😁 On second thoughts, even some of those will be closed too!😞
I love virtually touring Scotland from Michigan. Be careful traveling alone.
There's like no reason to say that unless your warning her not to hit any potholes in the road, there's literally plenty of houses in that area that still don't bother locking their doors at night.
Becky I love your wilderness wandering vlogs. The crofts are deserted because the tents were cruelly evicted from small holdings to make way for huge herds of sheep. Many of the displaced tents had little option but to head for the cities and lots of them had to emigrate to USA. I often think it would be nice to renovate a croft, but ultimately you may still be at the whim of the person who owns the land. Looking forward to the next vlog. I'm heading to Stoer soon and may even bag Suilven if weather is kind.
Ps tennents not tents I hate predictive text
The North Coast 500 is definitely on my bucket list,skye would be Awesome,thanks Girlie superb👍
Thankyou for another brilliant adventure video Becky.
Great video and adventure Becky! Something so good about just getting behind the wheel and doing long drives, taking it all in and the birds too :) Your new awnings look brilliant.
Keep the great videos coming thanks for the relaxing and enjoyable videos.
Another great video, very inspiring
You are full of gratitude Becky which a beautiful thing.I get those same emotions now myself being 3 years 3 months clean and sober.
Living in the present appreciate everything life is giving you ✌️❤️
Congratulations and well done on your achievements 👍
@@dspencer8827❤️✌️🙏
Oh wow brilliant video thank you for sharing I really felt this. Absolutely beautiful x
Another great adventure Becky!
First time seeing one of your videos, and I am totally in love, just such a beauty, I can't help myself, your Land Rover has just stolen my heart. Such a cracking vehicle and the colour is fabulous, it just looks so good. 🙂 .... Great video by the way.
Hi Becky love when you show the map 🗺️ it’s Awesome Amazing seeing where you are and going ❤😊
Another great video. Really good watch 👏👏👏
Stay blessed Becky looking forward to seeing the rest of your trip ❤️✌️
I too wet to Scotland last April from the west country.
5 weeks and 2500 miles just me and my best friend Slinky the sausage dog.
Truly a amazing road trip with nature.
I've learnt that you dont get lonely when you are with nature😊
Thankyou for the inspiration ❤ Great content Becky.
Thank you Becky for uploading a new adventure. I am new to your channel and have thoroughly enjoyed all previous videos. Safe travels!
You should have brought the solar as the power in the sun up here is amazing. Good luck with the trip. We’re in Halkirk if you want to drop in.
Great adventure as usual 😊
Another awesome video 👍
Love that area. You captured the essence so well. Happy travels!
that's an amazing trip , no place else in the World like that! new awnings are perfect, very simple . I couldn't really tell but can you attach guy lines to the tarp and stake it down? are there attachment points? that would really help in a wind. 👍👍😎
Great video, Looking forward to the next one. Dunnet Head is fantastic and Dunnet Bay is just a delightful beach: one of my favourite places
I love it and I wish I could be there!!!
Hi Becky I just love your videos the way you do thing on your Channel ❤❤❤😊
Thank you for sharing your NC500 adventure. I did it in May/June 2023 and LOVED EVERY MINUTE. I spend a month on the road, but will do it again as there's still so much I havent seen.
how busy was it early june?
Wow seeing this is perfect timing! I’m currently planning a 3 week trip in September going across to Ireland to the Macgillycuddys Reeks and Dingle peninsula on the wild Atlantic coast. Then 2 weeks going up the west coast of Scotland taking in Islay Jura and Skye, and then the NC 500. You’ve really set my appetite for it going crazy!! Looking forward to your ext video already.. Thank you for sharing your experience and thoughts, it’s amazing what solitude can do for the mind and soul!
Thamks again. Drew x
Great video looking forward to the next
Fab upload and it’s made me have itchy canvas to get back out there and do it!!! ⛺️
Thank you for sharing your adventures. I truly enjoy watching every episode. 😊
Love your Scotland videos, beautiful place 😀👍🌲
Dan.
We lived in Scotland for 5 years. We drove this route in under 3 weeks but loved the Journey. staying in inns on the way. But it Is as spectacular as she says, Lived Alaska and Africa and the Middle east. Maybe the Rhine river drive or Western Canada drive would compare.
500 seems a lot, but when I thought of it, I realised that is just my regular 1day fishing trip to the river and back :)
Looks beautiful i will do it summer time on the motorcycle the views are excellent
Sounds great, make sure you have plenty of visor cleaner.
Just love it mate, inspirational AF 🤙🏼
Thank you 🙌
Looks amazing I so need to do this route 😊
Great watch bek hope your well best wishes Phil ❤️👍
I learned a lot from you girl. Bits and bobs and Cracking on...👍
I started doing this route in the mid 1990s. Back then there was rarely another car on the road and the term NC500 didn’t exist. Just came back from doing it for the first time with my 7 year old and I was amazed at how busy it has become and the locals aren’t happy about it. I suppose it was the Easter holidays when we went but sadly, the friendliness of the people that live along the route has really taken a hit. Still beautiful as ever though. Back in the 90s I used to always do this trip alone but I never felt lonely.
The NC 500 is on my bucket list planning on doing it next year thanks for taking us along with you.
Same as. Good luck.
Awesome Becky. Great watch 😊😊
Happy Easter Becky. Look forward following some amazing vlogs . All the best.
A beautiful person in a beautiful location.
Awesome. Yes please
what a lovely and inspiring video thank you
Lovely to see, thanks Becky 😊
The type of history you like is known as Social History
Hi Becky love the video's nc500 cant wait ,im off in June ,the 500 in your video looks stunning. Keep the video's coming ❤
The film Annihilation (Natalie Portman) ends in a lighthouse. Great film. Great vid Becks xxx
So amazing video
No major shops north of Inverness! We do have supermarkets even in Orkney 🤣
Your right about Inverness being busy now though,I’ve just come back from a weekend down there and couldn’t wait to get out.
So very interesting videos you do keep it up
That is a very classy and nicest disco I’ve seen
putting the miles, and your enjoying your self.
Scotland videos are always the best ❤
My adventure starts soon. Solo USA, 3 months. ❤❤ Thanks for making me so excited to get back on the road!
