We swap the VAN for a REMOTE BOTHY 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (you can stay here for free)

We leave the van and hike out to an incredible remote bothy in the Scottish Highlands! I can't believe it's completely free to stay here! After a few days of van life realities we have a night to remember in this unbelievably sweet house that we get to call home for a bit. The trip isn't complete without a cheeky skinny dip in the river in the morning!

The bothy we stayed in is called Sheilin' o' Mark, in the Cairngorms. We parked in Loch Muick car park and paid ten pounds to park for 24 hours.

If you're new here, we're Tom and Iz, a couple who have been living in a van for the last few years. We've explored Spain, Portugal, Scotland, Ireland, Norway, Romania in our little home on wheels, La Bamba. If you missed any of these series you can check them out in our playlists. We most recently got back from a 10 week trip to Nepal (without the van), trekking in the Himalayas. We are now creating our UK WINTER VAN LIFE series and we would love you to join us! We usually upload on a Sunday at 5pm UK time. Our aim for this series is to get out there and explore areas of natural beauty in the UK that neither of us have been to before, getting outside in the elements and making the most of our British winter! We think winter is beautiful and we can't wait to explore a bit closer to home.
