Join me on this amazing adventure in the Scottish Highlands and Islands! ! FLEXIBLE DATES ! Hi!👋 My name is Damian and I kindly invite you to join me on this wild adventure in Scotland. I am a recent graduate and a fellow traveller who enjoys walks, sunsets and a chill night out at the pub. I have lived in the area during Covid (2021) and I am keen to return as I found it to be incredibly tunning and completely off the beaten path. ✨ This is not your typical road trip. We will not be visiting the "big" places but instead driving on some of the most remote roads in some of the most remote areas of the UK! You will see valleys, extinct volcanoes, hills, lakes, waterfalls, lakes high up the mountains, and much more! Sounds like fun? Did I mention that these destinations are far away from tourist places? We will have whole beaches and mountains to ourselves as we explore this wild part of Scotland. ✨ I made sure to include something for everyone. Pub in the middle of nowhere? Check. Hiking? Check. Caves? Check. Beautiful sandy beaches? Check. 🎥 And on top of that, I will be filming throughout the trip and you will be presented with a trip highlights video after returning home, that way your friends and family can relieve your experiences from the comfort of their sofa! 🎥 In short: ✨ We will meet in Glasgow for a chill afternoon that will allow us to get to know each other, have a walk around the city, and enjoy an evening at a local pub. We stay the night at a central hotel with shared rooms(single beds). ✨ We will begin the trip by taking an early morning train from Glasgow to Fort William. This is one of the most beautiful, scenic train rides in Europe - the West Highland Railway. ✨ Once in Fort William we will make our way to the car rental for the pickup! We then make our way south towards Oban. We spend the first-night camping at one of the campsites around Oban. ✨ Next morning we cross the sea from Oban to Craignure on the Isle of Mull. We spend the night at a campsite on the island, in the lovely village of Salen. ✨ Drive towards the coastal town of Tobermory, from where we take a ferry to the village of Kilchoan. ✨ Wildcamping at the beach! ✨ Drive towards the town of Mallaig, ferry to the Isle of Skye. Wild camping night at Glen Brittle memorial hut. ✨ Drive back to the mainland and a night at a campsite by Loch Ness! ✨ Early morning ride back to Fort William to return the car. ✨We take the train back to Glasgow with some final spectacular views on the way. We say our goodbyes at Glasgow Queen Street Station. ✨ For this trip, I want to visit places that made my stay there special and also explore more with a car, something I couldn't do while living there. This trip would be perfect for someone who doesn't need to visit the biggest attractions. People who love a good hike (but no extremes), chilling at the beach, and admiring the views while experiencing the local life. ✅ INCLUDED IN THE PRICE: ✔️ All accommodation (Hotel in Glasgow, campsite fees, shared rooms) ✔️ All transport (Train tickets, ferry fees, car rental) ✔️ Camping gear (Stoves and gas for cooking while camping, cutlery, cooking set) ✔️ INSURANCE (if you are a resident of Germany and Austria) ✔️ Buffer budget in case of any emergencies ❌ NOT INCLUDED IN THE PRICE: ❗️Flights (however, I am happy to help you find the best deals) ❗️Transport from and to the airport ❗️Food and groceries(we will be splitting the costs between ourselves) ❗️Tents, sleeping bags, etc. (We will be able to buy them at a local shop in Fort William unless you are bringing your own) ❗️Fuel (cost shared between TripMates at the end of the trip) ❗️INSURANCE (if you are NOT a resident of Germany or Austria) Got any questions? Ask away in the Q&A section! Once you book, we can chat and make sure we're a good fit and that this trip is everything you're looking for. Excited to hear from you! 🙌🏻
