Today’s vlog is the next up in our NC500 Scotland road trip series! It’s Day FOUR!
On this day, we became OFFICIALLY end-to-enders, having finally finished the longest possible drive across Britain from Lands’ End in Cornwall to John O Groats in Scotland!!!
It was so much fun achieving this goal, despite some truly rough weather!
It was also great on this day to go to the most northerly point in Britain (Dunnet Head lighthouse), and also see the coastal town of Thurso!
Hope you enjoy tagging along and braving the 30mph wind gusts with us on this journey! So sorry for the unavoidably windy audio from this day!
Cheers, and happy travels!

I think you both had a lot of fun being blown about 😂 congratulations on becoming End to Enders. A fine accolade indeed. I really enjoy your videos. Lots of laughs and great destinations. 😊⭐🤗 Benny Hill hotel 😂
Haha thanks Jenny! So glad you like watching, and yes we still had a lot of fun despite the 30mph gusts! Such beautiful spots to visit!!!
So cool!!! Congrats again on becoming End to Enders!
Thanks so much Mary Ellen!!! So great to have you tagging along on this NC500 series! 😀
What a wonderful tour guys. I did part of this tour many years ago with friends from the Uk . Didn't make it to John O' Groats. Hope one day
We will make it there. Hope you had a lager to celebrate becoming End to Enders. Love you dear friends. We shall chat soon. Be Well !
Harriet, Jim and Yuki 😍😍😍
If my memory serves me right, we had a big meal and a bottle of wine in the Betty Hill Hotel's dining room that night to celebrate!!! Thanks so much for watching! 😀😀
So fun reliving this day! So nice to have finally become End to Enders!
I agree, it was amazing to finally achieve our goal!
Such a beautiful part of Britain!
We just call it home!
You are so lucky to be able to do so!
Another lovely morning is here; so rise up and try to make most of the opportunities that come knocking at your door through the day.😊
Well said! 😀
I'm still enjoying your long adventure in the UK. It's so fun to explore these lesser known places with you.
Thanks Anna, so glad you’re still liking them! 😀
Like 49, this is really great footage, thanks for sharing this beautiful informative and relaxing place, keep safe always Ma'am and Sir.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!!! This journey was so memorable for us, and I'm really glad we get to share it with folks like you! 😀😀
Congratulations on being End to Enders, I'm still making the very slow journey to achieve that. Make that extremely slow as I went to Land's End 10 years ago and have yet to make the trip north! Very hardy surfers to go into the water at Thurso!
Haha maybe next time you're back in the UK you can make more progress! 😆 Yes, I'd imaging you'd have to be really good at surfing in order to attempt the waves in Thurso! Do you surf? I wish I knew how!
Thanks for sharing your "End to Enders" adventures .. very special .. new subscriber ⭐
Welcome to the Means To Travel community! So happy to have you tag along, and I'm delighted to hear you enjoyed our video becoming end to enders! 😀😀
Hope you enjoyed your trip through Thurso it’s good you pointed out Thurso is famous for surfing as it can blow some tourists minds seeing kids walking through town in wetsuits with surfbirds under their arms.
If we had known you back then we could have met up for coffee if Covid had allied at the time!
Haha yes, we saw several surf gear shops in town - so cool! And we agree, we wish we had known you back then, too! It would have been so fun to have a friend in town, and to help us learn even more about the area! If we come back, we will definitely let you know 😀
Congratulations you end to enders 🎉
Thanks so much Eric! 😀🙏🏻
Im so suprised you only have 8k subs, these are the best travel videos ive seen, for some reason they are so low down when you search for nc500 videos
Thank you so much, Matthew! I'm so glad you've like watching this series!!!! It's been a labor of love to put each episode together, and it's comments like this one that keep me going. Fingers crossed that more people will find this channel and enjoy my videos like you do! 🙏
Just 3 weeks till we leave for the UK.
We'd planned to travel to Thurso from Inverness so great to have a sneak peek.
How fun! Crossing my fingers that you’ll get much better weather than we had! 😀🏴
54 like very nice video 💯🤗☕👍🙋🏻♀️
Thank you so much! 🙂
Man, I thought I might like you guys until I saw you are HOOSIERS! :O Go Boilers! :D
JK, of course. You guys have a GREAT time!
Hahaha! We actually met at our freshman orientation at IU, and became a couple during our Welcome Week back when we were 18! Can’t believe that was 17 years ago now! Needless to say we love IU, but Purdue is a great school, too, of course! 😆
I like to say make sure your engineer is from Purdue but your doctor is from IU. :D@@MeansToTravel
@@thall7368 Haha yes, sounds about right! Definitely be wary of any engineers from IU since we don't have an engineering school 😉
EXACTLY, though I have worked with IU Computer Science majors. :D I worked in Bloomington for a time.@@MeansToTravel
Should have said you are missing some wonderful beaches. (I know the weather is not beach weather!)
So true! It's funny, when I was editing this video and still had the footage we filmed on the beach by Thurso Bay, I was sooooooo grateful to us for having refilmed later in less wind! It was so difficult to understand us! I'm really glad that it's not usually like that, because your beaches are truly beautiful!
