Travelling to the north of Scotland | First days of Vanlife & getting ready for a new hiking season

☕ If you like our videos and want to support our next hike: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/ellihikes In April of 2025, Otto and I started a new (thru-)hiking season and our first season of travelling and living in my self-converted van. Come along for a very long drive from the south of Germany to the north of Scotland where we’ll start our next long-distance hike. We take you along on the night ferry to the UK and to some incredible park ups in the Scottish Highlands. We were off to an amazing start with the best weather possible and some pretty epic landscapes….
