We didn’t plan this night.
We didn’t book tickets.
We didn’t even know it was happening.

We parked up the van in Scotland expecting a quiet evening…
and the sky exploded 🎆

Fireworks over Old Gertie.
Frank asleep.
Us standing there like, “how did this just happen?” 😅

That unplanned moment is exactly what this week’s newsletter is about.

Not just where we went…
but why moments like this are the reason we choose vanlife.

Inside this week’s email:
🚐 A hidden overnight park-up that felt like a secret
🍽️ Comfort food cooked in the van
🏞️ Loch Lomond, waterfalls, and Highlands magic
😂 A few very on-brand Trist & Kez moments

Happy Sunday ❤️, if you’re stuck for something to watch this evening. Why not check out this weeks vlog where we head to the beautiful Scottish town of Kirkcudbright and explore for a couple days. Before we head on to Loch Doon for an incredible experience and some not so incredible Scottish weather 🤣

🚐 NEW VLOG TONIGHT – 6PM! 🌲🔥

We show you why you need to trade the busy NC500 for the UK’s largest forest… and it completely blew our minds.

Tonight’s episode is all about Galloway Forest Park – wild waterfalls, empty trails, autumn colours and one of the quietest loch park-ups we’ve ever had in Scotland. It honestly feels like a secret road trip that hardly anyone talks about.

👉 Set a reminder and come hang out with us at 6pm – brew in hand, cosy vibes on.

Question for you:
Have you ever skipped the NC500 and explored Dumfries & Galloway or Galloway Forest Park instead? If not… what’s stopping you? 👀

Drop your answers below and we’ll reply while the vlog goes live tonight 💛

This weeks vlog is live at 6pm 🚨. Who’s joining us?

This week, we score another great van park up at the haunting Sweetheart Abbey, face a terrifying climb up to the Waterloo Monument, and risk our motorhome on the brutal Raiders Road just to find the ultimate Dark Sky Park for stargazing. Did the van survive?

Find out TONIGHT at 6 PM!

NC500 MISTAKE?! You HAVE to see this first! 🤯

Everyone rushes to the Highlands, but Scotland hides a coastal route so wild, underrated, and packed with epic van life spots that most travelers miss it completely.

We’re starting our Scotland Road Trip on the stunning Southwest 300!

In this week's vlog:
• Exploring the hidden triangular fortress: Caerlaverock Castle 🏰
• Reviewing a perfect, peaceful motorhome campsite in Dumfries and Galloway.
• Our massive Scottish Food haul and taste test of Macaroni Pies and Iron Brew (Aldi special)

Don't skip the best bit of Scotland! TONIGHT at 6 PM!
