Hello Elli, a very nice video! All is so well organized, really amazing! Give your little black companion his own story. The hike from Otto's perspective, in dialogue with him and with him as the narrator off-screen. Would that be an idea? In any case, keep it up!
What a splendid conversion to your car - I love it, well done! Bit puzzled why you're in Glencoe if you are starting the WHW at Milngavie but I expect all will be revealed... It looks as if Otto is really enjoying travelling by car. Probably thinking: "this is much better than walking like we did last time." At least walking will keep him warm. Good to see your photo in the latest TGO!
Thank you so much, Nick!! I'm quite happy how it turned out and so far, it's been very useful to have :) I initially wanted to end the video before we started the WHW, but then again, the footage I got after the WHW when we stayed in Glencoe was just so cool that I wanted to include it 😊😉 thank you for following along :)
Wünsche euch beiden eine schöne Tour und dass ihr mit vielen, schönen Erinnerungen im Rucksack in den Micro-Camper wieder einsteigt. Many greetings to Scotland :)
You did such a great job on the car, it looks so comfy! You are living my dream life right now. I also backpack with one of my 3 dogs as much as possible, but can only do shorter trips because I have over 20 other pets at home that need taken care of. So I'll be living through you and Otto for now. Thank you! 😊
😅😊😊 yes, so far I've been really happy doing it that way. It's great to have it as a base to get resupply, swap out gear, rest, charge my things without spending too much on accommodation etc. So far it worked out perfectly :)
Oh Elli, it's delightful to see you and Otto back in Scotland. And kudos for pronouncing Milngavie [Mil - Gai] so well. Hope you guys have a great time.
Thank you so much, Chris!! So far, I'm really happy how it turned out and it's so cozy :) even though I've bought 2 more blankets for us for even more cosiness 😅🥰
Good morning Ms Elli & Otto 😃 Really cool idea and set up with your mini home away from home on wheels👍🏻 You was quite the construction worker on the build too😃 Love your get it done attitude💪🏻 Looks really comfortable and you have everything you both need handily😃 Hoping the rains will not be bad in the early going and I’m looking so much to following along on this journey as well, you always make me smile to see your happiness and Otto’s go go go on your hikes, along with educating those of us who aren’t familiar with where your traveling thru❤️ As always, take care, keep safe, give Otto a scratch and we will see you on your next video👍🏻🙏🏻😃☺️
Thank you so so much! Hahaha, I didn't have to do that much luckily for the build. Was lucky to find the box structure and just had to adjust it :) thank you so much for following along, that means the world :)
Don’t sell yourself short Ms Elli😃 A little assembly or a lotta assembly, you rocked it out👍🏻 Love your videos and your sincerity and genuinely felt highs and lows😃 Always get tickled at Otto and his short legs doing triple time along the journey, he is definitely the best hiking buddy for sure😃 You are a true gem on here and I can’t thank you enough for sharing your adventures ❤️ Take care and keep safe, give Otto a head pat and see you next time👍🏻🙏🏻😃☺️
As expected Elli, fun video, well made and an interesting start of another Scottish adventure for you and Otto. Impressive and sensible car ‘conversion’ and a very different trip from your last ones. I know you’ll be well on the Trail, so looking forward to the next update. Take care and try and keep dry. The weather all over the UK has been dismal recently 🌧️ ☂️ 🥾 💦
Thank you so much for your kind words and for following along :) that means so much :) so far, the conversion worked perfectly. It's great to have a 'base' to return to, have spare kit etc.
That place is so beautiful! I remember walking along that road when we walked the West Highland Way. There were a couple of people camping in vans along there. We passed a van with a little cat sunning itself in the front window! Glen Coe is one of my favorite places. Happy travels!
Hello Elli and Otto. Well last time you were over hear you were hiking and camping But this time your Glamping Hehe. You did a great job with your car Elli, I must say you impressed me. Managing to take the seats out by yourself was very impressive, and it looks great. Looking forward to watching your adventure. Just remember we drive on the left Hehe 😋✌
Thank you so much 🤗 I must admit though, that this wasn't the first time I did it, I've already slept in my car before 😅 and luckily, it's very easy to get the seats out :) Really happy with the result so far to have a place to shelter, rest, swap out kit etc. 😊 thank you for following along :)
Nice video. I'm looking forward to the next episodes. Will follow you and Otto in about 2 weeks. Start on April 18, 24 and will do the WHW + Ben Nevis + GGW, at least that's the plan. Wish you and Otto good weather and a great time
Oh my goodness, I love the car conversion! So on my bucket list. May be a future add on, would be a car tent at the back. Otto’s face when you were talking to the camera in the cabin…”Who is she talking to?” 😂 The room looked really good on board and I’d be happy with that, and you scored a window! I have not scored one of those from Plymouth to Santander. Have fun trekking. x
Thank you so so much Rique :) true, a tent would be awesome to add! It's really nice to have the car as some sort of 'base' and so far it worked out perfectly :)
oh I think I just saw the road to Glencoe which brings back such great memories for me on my Cycle LeJog in 2018. Loved this video thank you, must buy you and Otto a Coffe/eTreat !! I watch many different Travel Vlogs for entertainment and to learn new Vlogging techniques for my own channel. Got to say yours are so good Eli ! Well done !
Awww, that's so kind! I really appreciate the lovely words and your support. That means so much - thank you!! Yes, that's the road to Glencoe - such a stunning and incredible place :)
Nice video Ellie, a basic conversion but all you need. I do hope you drove up the A68 from Newcastle rather than the horrible A1 coastal route. It’s only slightly longer but so much more enjoyable! Looking forward to your upcoming videos.
Did you make the bed yourself Ellie? Currently doing my Berlingo up. Got lights in and all 13 windows have blinds now. Putting a bit of 4 way carpet on some of the panels to make it cosier. Not sure on the bed yet
No, I luckily found the box/bed structure second hand and only had to adjust the height etc. Your project sounds so cool, it's great to have that option to travel around and have a place to sleep too :)
Another great video Ellie, lovely to see the bond you have with Otto and enjoy the adventures you both have thanks for taking us along ❤
Thank you so much for your kind words, that means so much 😊🥰
Looking forward to your walk. I think it was 1989 when I walked the West Highland Way. Good luck.
Thank you so much!! It's such a beautiful trail :)
Hello Elli,
a very nice video! All is so well organized, really amazing!
Give your little black companion his own story. The hike from Otto's perspective, in dialogue with him and with him as the narrator off-screen. Would that be an idea? In any case, keep it up!
That would be a great idea and definitely would want to do that as soon as I have bit more time :)
Such a great idea, I wonder if I can do that with my little VW Golf :D
Have fun on your travels
Thank you so much! I mean, you probably could - there are people doing it to their small cars on youtube! It's incredible :)
What a splendid conversion to your car - I love it, well done! Bit puzzled why you're in Glencoe if you are starting the WHW at Milngavie but I expect all will be revealed...
It looks as if Otto is really enjoying travelling by car. Probably thinking: "this is much better than walking like we did last time." At least walking will keep him warm.

Vielen lieben Dank :) 🤗
I use a stove like the one you have, it sits low to the ground. 👍
It does, but there are things to fold out which makes it a bit higher. Didn't realise it in the video when I first used it 😅🫣
Love Otto's face at 13 minutes. He's obviously been to Scotland in the rain before.
He definitely has been 😅🥰
You did such a great job on the car, it looks so comfy! You are living my dream life right now. I also backpack with one of my 3 dogs as much as possible, but can only do shorter trips because I have over 20 other pets at home that need taken care of. So I'll be living through you and Otto for now. Thank you! 😊
🥹🥹 aww, thank you so much for the kind words! That means so much and I'm so glad that you're enjoying the videos :)
Great idea! It will open up many new adventures for you two. :-)
Thank you so much! Yes, that's true! It's been great so far and definitely makes things easier with resupply etc :)
Genius idea to do the Scottish trails by car, given the weather.
Otto has the best teef!
😅😊😊 yes, so far I've been really happy doing it that way. It's great to have it as a base to get resupply, swap out gear, rest, charge my things without spending too much on accommodation etc. So far it worked out perfectly :)
Oh Elli, it's delightful to see you and Otto back in Scotland. And kudos for pronouncing Milngavie [Mil - Gai] so well. Hope you guys have a great time.
Hahaha, I've had some practice since it's our third time on the WHW :) thank you so so much for following along :) that means so much!!
It's a pleasure to see your smile and your enthusiasm. I hope you get the wonderful adventure you deserve :)
Thank you so so much :)
Nice car camper, Great to see little Otto, great little bed on passenger seat . Another great video Elli and Otto, take care in Scotland 👍
Thank you so much, Chris!! So far, I'm really happy how it turned out and it's so cozy :) even though I've bought 2 more blankets for us for even more cosiness 😅🥰

As always, take care, keep safe, give Otto a scratch and we will see you on your next video👍🏻🙏🏻😃☺️

You are a true gem on here and I can’t thank you enough for sharing your adventures ❤️

Will do :) thank you so much 🤗

It really is, the area is just so so stunning. I've been there a couple of times, but it just never gets old 🥰🏴

Amazing, it’s like doing a mini ‘van life’ adventure! Hope there are some pubs somewhere so Otto can get some chips! 😉
Thank you so much :) yes, he'll get them whenever possible 😅😅

Thank you so much 😊 the A1 wasn't too bad luckily, I just drove where Google maps told me to 😅🫣 thank you so much for following along :)
