- This week I travel to The Isle Of Skye, Scotland after completing the NC500 road trip in my stealth campervan. 🚐
We started with some Isle Of Skye camping before ticking off all the Isle Of Skye places to visit such as Old Man Of Storr, Quiraing, Portree and the famous Fairy Pools and the Isle Of Skye weather just about held out for us!

The boys had a dip Lauren had a slip 😂😂😂!
Made me laugh that too 😂🤣
😂 Couldn't have put it better!
Give us a shout next time your there will.. ill take you out in my boat 👍
Found your channel through Will's and loved how cute and playful you both are 😊
Aww thanks so much x
Hi Lauren Charlie & will ,great blog most enjoyable it’s nice as you go along know knowing I had been there,take care keep safe,John 👨🍳👩💼🇬🇧👀👏👏👏🌹🐔
Hey John, cheers for the support mate. Glad you're enjoying the Scotland vlogs!
I hope Erin sees this - but girl you're an angel!!! So nice to know people like her are out there in the world!❤️
Really enjoyed this as I did so much of this back in 2020, nice trip down memory lane! £8 for parking at the Fairy Pools in 2021?! It it was £5 last year - what kind of inflation is that?! Was cool to see the Old Man of Storr trail as last year when I did it, the hillside was strewn with bags full of the boulders and that staircase was definitely not there. Obviously what the bags were for!
Aw I'm sure she will! She really is a diamond! Oh I know, even if you just stay for an hour it was £8 what a madness! Oh what a shame, at least you could live it through us a little haha. Thanks for the support! x
What a joy the Isle of Skye is. So many wonderful views. How cruel was that to have a burger van at the end of your walk for them to have run out of veggie burgers when you got to it. You did well Charlie to stay calm. I think we are all disappointed you didn't catch on film the moment Lauren slipped on her arse. That girl of yours Charlie is very accident prone, even in the middle of nowhere. How lovely of your friends to treat you all to a meal at the hotel with the wonderful views. Nice if the two of you could have a nice romantic stay there in the future for a few days. Perhaps in the winter, nice open log fire, lovely meals, and brisk walks. Nice place to stay for your next anniversary. Graham
Honestly, what an underrated place. We'd never really heard/thought of Skye before heading to Scotland! The burger van was torture (more than I let on) and noone wishes they caught Lauren slipping on camera more than me haha! Absolutely, we said exactly the same. Wish we had a bit more time to enjoy it but you know us GO GO GO!!
That Erin and her bloke, what a pair of legends!
Absolutely!
This brought back memories of a happy week on Sky back in 2014. I was prompted to look through a few hundred photos taken at the time. The scenery is stunning. You must go inland if you can, where the scenery is equally impressive. On one of our Scotland trips when we were younger, we sought out the narrowest roads, camping or sleeping under bridges. Waking up to the sound of a trickling stream and seeing mountains in the distance is an unforgettable experience.
Aw love this! Glad it could bring back some good memories for you. I'm sure we'll look back on this trip in years to come too!
Aww love this vlog, great seeing the Island through your eye's! Was brill meeting you guys and more than happy to help when needed!! Your always welcome round ours for a cuppa if you visit again 😜 🤙💛
Legend!! We'll be back for sure for a bit more of a 'chilled' trip next time haha, get the kettle and the playstation on! x
Awesome Isle Of Skye, great scenery, views and even someone with a maroon beret on (11:13)!
The weather held up mostly too.
Top marks for Lauren for the cooking.
Haha can't complain with the Isle of Skye leg of the trip. Absolutely loved it! Lauren cooking up a storm as usual!
What an absolutely beautiful place. You can see why its called the Isle of Skye, sometimes the Sky has fallen on the Isle. Good you got some sunshine though ( maybe even lucky ). Last time I was there, so windy and stormy and so fantastic.
Absolutely agree! Definitely our favourite place in Scotland and we did indeed get a little lucky with the weather on Skye!
Isle of skye, magnificent! Cuillin hills hotel, also magnificent. I looked them up online. Really nice! Bucket list for sure. 🌸🌺👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Thank God for Erin and her Partner. There are nice people left in the world.
Aw love to hear this Jo, it really was a great experience! I know, how lucky were we to find them pair! x
The Fairy Pools used to be a tranquil place to visit, now it's a giant car park and a line of tourists. Thanks so this kind of mindless popularisation.
Mindless popularisation? It's called tourism.
We are living and working on Skye for 6 months on a campsite. Great to see it through your eyes!
Ah hope you're enjoying it. What an awesome place!
Love the energy on these videos guys! Thanks for the introduction Will!
Glad you like them! Thanks for the support!
Hi guys, found you via Will, loving the videos, I am on the NC500 now, will be on Skye in about 3 days, left Orknay tonight, I know not officially on the nc500, but love a detour.
Hi June, that's amazing. Hope you're having a lovely time and thanks so much for the support. Enjoy your spontaneous trip and safe travels xx
Beautiful, beautiful Skye. Incredible scenery, yes the highland cow and Charlie with his bambi legs 🤣 But the star of this vlog has to be Erin and her partner too! Spoilt you with incredible food and came to the rescue when it was really needed. Erin, people like you restore my faith in humanity, you bloody rock girl 💜🌟💜
Oh we echo this 100 times! What a couple of legends honestly! Couldn't have put it better, they remind us that there are still good people among us! x

Another great catch up,well done on making the most of what us out there. Bummer re Will's ticket and mishap. Ye are having fantastic adventures. Best wishes from a marmite fan ha ha.
Thanks a lot Lorraine! Poor Will had a stinker but stayed upbeat to be fair to him. Oh no, not you as well haha!
@@CharliePauly oh ya marmite cashews peanuts, marmite crisps, marmite chocolate,i am so many years on ye, that,i expanded my marmite tasting ha ha.Will is a good lad, no use worrying after the horse bolted.
Great vlog
Thank you!!
You guys have been in Scotland long enough,it's time for Charlie and Will to start wearing a kilt 😁.Embrace the tartan guys
Haha we genuinely said this as soon as we left...We didn't find a kilt!!
Nice video, enjoying the nc500 series,you need to try the original recipe iron bru it's so much better than the current one since the sugar tax was introduced 😀
Haha thanks! Everyone seems to be saying the same!
Ooh we are heading to Skye next month, look forward to watching this later on!
I think that’s the best time to visit, no midges, plus the Autumn, Wintertime the light is very bright and crisp.
@@davidbrims5825 shorter days and longer nights though and it is worse the further North you go ?
@@stevezodiac491 Thats true. I’m biased though I like the Autumnal colours.
We can't wait! Autumn is my favourite season, can't wait to see those beautiful colours. We are taking our time round the nc500 and Skye so don't mind the shorter days & glorious sunsets🌅. Have really enjoyed this series, thanks guys!
Hope you have an awesome trip!
Charlie u said next one is something big, if that was a clue, is it something to do with Ben Nevis, as it was mentioned earlier……….. hope I’m right !! Good video in the Isle of Skye too, well done !
Haha you got it! The vlog has just gone up yesterday!
Yeah brilliant that👏but I don’t think I could cope with the middies. When does the season for them end.
Haha we got lucky with the midges but they're supposed to be at their worst between May and September.
EPIC!
Thanks!
I came back from skye on Saturday back up next week. I would have taken you out in my boat around Niest point I spend 3 to 5 months there a year. Give us a shout next time your there 👍
Sounds great! Next time we're up we'll save a bit of time to visit Neist Point!
@@CharliePauly go very early in the morning to get parked at Niest point. It is a conveyor Belton campers etc. I know one of the locals that live on the road to Niestp
Heading up to Skye and Scotland end of October will have 7 vans how did you find parking, I k ow ita all changed since I was last there two years ago
Can you just let me know where you acually managed to park.
Wow 7 vans, that's some convoy! To be honest we just used Park4night for overnight parking and managed to get by ok. There are plenty of lay-bys and pull ins on Skye.
Unmissable again !
Thanks a lot mate!
Hi, we are going to Isle of Skye this weekend as part of our NC 500 tour in our Campervan. What is the exact name of that place in Portree where you have a shower?
Ah enjoy guys! Arainn Fhinn, The Fingal Centre was where they let us in for a shower.
maybe bring out a cookbook for vanlife
Definitely something we'd love to do!
Laurens cooking wowser 10/10 woohooo
Haha I know right! She's amazing!
Did the midges bite we visited this summer back in July and theidges were bad down in Portree didn't think anything of it at the time but over a week later we were still itching the bites.
Oh no way! We actually came away with zero midge bites so sounds like we got lucky!
@@CharliePauly wow you really did get lucky those things are bloody awful. It's certainly beautiful up there just too bloody windy and cold
The Isle of Skye really looks like Lord of the Rings territory
It honestly does!!
Lauren so glad you didnt jump in there
I think she is too haha.
We did that in May 2019ish at 6.30am it was fresh but so good lol. Would we do it again YES
Haha good effort!
R lozzer top chef happy travels guys
Absolutely!
Beautiful couple 💗💗👩❤️👨
Thank you 😊
Had to chuckle at 16:16 when Charlie said "been waiting for this moment, now nothing's coming out" You will find that happens in life as you get older Charlie 😁
Haha hopefully a bit of life left in me yet before I start using that phrase more often!
You should of gone to dunvegan castle and gardens
We had to cut the trip short as we had to get back but that was on the list!
@@CharliePauly fair enough
How did you guys find skye we found that there wasn't to many good places to wild camp, #b15dov
Loved Skye for the adventures but agree it wasn’t as easy to wild camp there!
@Charlie Pauly the Chinese was awesome though. I must admit
BEANS ON TOAST for Laurɘn aged 3and3/4. ❤
Love it!
Did you see Donald with no trousers? ;0) Those who do not know the song will think my comment is very random, lol
I don't know if you remember this wee laddie from over thirty years ago. God he may not have had any trousers but he certainly had some guts. What a little star. ruclips.net/video/eESfxaszngs/видео.html
Haha definitely just googled this!
It's good having fun in outdoor pools but jumping from a height could go very wrong. I have lost number of similar people to you, just having fun and jumping into outdoor pools , becoming paraplegic or other spinal injury. It is just not worth it ?
Agree, I knew a guy who jumped into his local swimming pool, just having a laugh, ended up paralysed from the neck down, in a wheelchair for the rest of his life, needs round the clock care. He was 20 when it happened.
@@davidbrims5825 sad, a life ruined and for what ?
So sorry to hear this!
another ace video guys! cant wait to get up there in our Betty! lovin your Transit - Betty is a MK6 - please check out her conversion journey at "betty our campervan" please like, subscribe and comment - many thanks, Paul, Chrissy n Betty xx
Thanks a lot guys! Best of luck with the MK6!
Went to the fairy pools a few years ago it wasn't worth the walk the pools in the river etive glencoe are better a would say.
Everyone's entitled to their opinion but we thoroughly enjoyed it.
Cold water shock is big at the moment with so many deaths glad to see your being responsible in such a beautiful spot bet everybody loved having to watch the display off the youth off today
Fortunately we lived to tell the tale and the crowd of people (young and old) clapping and cheering certainly enjoyed it.
Irn Bru, there’s about 500 spoonfuls of sugar in it.
Sounds about right!
You haven’t been very lucky with the weather, usually you get 4 seasons in one day. To get rid of midges😬 Lauren should try smoking a pipe, cigar 😀they don’t like smoke.
I know right, bit of an up and down two weeks but we can't complain too much! Haha I'll pass that info on to her!
Love your vids guys....Just a shame that everytime i click the thumbs up youtube takes it away...Ffs
Ah no way! Hey as long as you’re enjoying the vlogs that’s awesome.
Erm sloosh is pee in Scotland, 😂 gan fir a sloosh 🤷♀️😂aye midges can be a nightmare food looks great like 👍🏻 x
Oh no!! Haha we say sloosh for a bath. Language barrier causing all kinds of embarrassment!
@@CharliePauly 😂
I did the old man up and down in 1 hour 5 minutes and the quirraing in 2 hours 35 minutes, along the bottom and back over the top back to the car park. The reason I did the qurraing so fast, is that my wife stayed with our van and like you i parked in the badly signposted coach area. She phoned me up because she was told whilst sitting in the van that other people had been given a ticket and she relayed the info to me in turn. Needless to say I walked like I was in the Olympics to get around and back to move the van before I got a ticket as well. Fortunately on the drive back down after we had left the car park, the twats were on their way up to fine as many people as they could find again but not me. In my opinion there is a racket going on. The parking rules signs are purposely made small to catch as many people and make as much money as possible. Whilst at the car park my wife warned everybody she saw to move from the coach area to not get a ticket either.
Definitely agree with you on this one. Doesn't seem like very 'fair' signage around the area, glad you managed to dodge the ticket and good on your wife!
Glad you enjoyed your trip to the glorious Isle of Skye. However, you need to be aware that tourists like you actually cause huge problems for the locals. People turn up in camper vans and park all over the place in laybys and other spots in order to avoid paying a few quid for a regular site. Obviously these 'free ' places have zero facilities so I shouldn't have to spell out for you what they leave behind.
Add to this thar they invariably bring virtually all their food and drink with them, thereby contributing little or nothing to the Local economy.
I would respectfully ask you to honestly calculate how much money you actually spent when on Skye or any of the other NC 500 places you visited and ask yourselves if it was fair, given the low earnings and short seasonal work acau
....and short seasonal work available to the locals. They are proud of their homelands and glad that others appreciate it too - but they have to live
Tourists like us? I understand the point you're trying to make but you shouldn't tarnish everyone with the same brush.
We are travelling responsibly around the UK in our camper and promoting destinations to encourage more tourism within our own country.
Still haven't fitted drop down shelves beside your bed........???????????
Nope, we're coping just fine without them.
@@CharliePauly Fair play....xx
1st
Thanks!
2nd
Thanks!
Think you need to invest in some proper walking boots 🙈
The converse seem to be doing her alright so far!
You had the wrong footwear on...
They're the comfiest shoes we own
"Took me a minute to catch my breath". Yeah. That's called cold water shock. Don't jump into wild swim spots. You need to let your body adjust to the water temperature slowly. This promotes irresponsible and dangerous behaviour.
It doesn't 'promote' anything. It's simply a vlog of us enjoying our trip around Scotland. People are free to do what they like.
irn bru , it tastes like bubble gum . f**king horrible .
😅 that's one way of putting it!
