      Day 6 - Skye's the limit

      June 16, 2016 in Scotland ⋅ ☀️ 11 °C

      A wet and windy day but we took the ferry to Skye and decided to drive around the narrow lanes to some of the smaller villages which have great views of the mountains but are not visited by many tourists, as described in Sarah 's Rough Guide to Scotland book.

      We both agreed that Skye is lovely and we would like to come back another time to walk some of the mountains we saw.

      Day 4. Glencoe to Skye

      November 21, 2023 in Scotland ⋅ ☁️ 8 °C

      Today we woke up to another beautiful sunrise ! James took Maddy out for a quick walk at about 730 and I slowly rolled out of bed to make a cuppa .
      Once James was back , we made the decision to head on up to the Isle of Skye as we have stayed in Glencoe before .
      En route to Isle of Skye , we stopped off at the famous Harry Potter film location in Glencoe , which is where all the scenes with Hagrids hut are filmed . We managed to find the exact spot and take some good photos - sadly we couldn’t find buckbeak.
      Next , time to stock up on food , fuel and water before entering the wilderness . We managed to buy our meals for the next 5 days , including some tasty venison burgers (sorry , Bambi). Obviously we bought some more beers too !
      After our very expensive food shop , we are now cruising slowly towards our fourth park up in the Isle of Skye . We crossed Skye bridge which was scary as it’s very high and long. Our next park up was about 40 mins deep into Skye. We stopped at a place called Ord which was really secluded and beachfront which was cool. After a walk along the beach with Maddy we cooked some venison burgers and some wedges which were delicious, using the oven more than we thought we would. We had a cosy night in the van and watched a film. Van life is great!!
