After our morning hiking at Steall Falls we headed over to the Corpach shipwreck. The boat is actually called The MV Dayspring but as it washed up on the shore of Loch Linnhe at Corpach, it's more famously known as the Corpach Wreck.

The old fishing vessel broke free of its chains at it's mooring in a bad storm in December 2011 and ran aground and has been left there ever since. I found it fascinating that it was actually bought in 2008 by a couple and converted into a home. They were on holiday while the storm hit and the coastguard helped it safely to shore.

We arrived just before the tide started coming in, and at certain times you can walk all around the boat, and at others you can't even walk up to it due to the tide. Definitely worth a visit if you're near Fort William!

How grim is the weather today? Shane was hoping to do some major changes to the van today, but sadly the weather is just too wet and windy so it's gone back to it's second home at the storage yard for now.

We've decided to finally change out all of our drawer rollers to lovely soft close drawers, so shane did that last weekend and was going to change our cabinet doors from magnetic inset ones to proper soft close doors like you get in a home and I'm so excited. Hopefully that will help both the drawers and doors from flying off while we're driving. I can't evem count how many times the toilet door has gone flying off 😂

What are you up to this weekend?

Steall Falls - you might recognise it from the Harry Potter movies, especially the Goblet of Fire where they compete against dragons in the first round of the Triwizard Tournament in the background, and it's also the backdrop to the quidditch field.

I visited with my parents years ago before it was in the films and was so excited when it popped up that we'd been there 😂 so as we were in Fort William and it's stunning, i just had to take Shane there.

The walk up isn't the best, and if you're in a van we definitely don't recommend parking at the top carpark as there's a 3T weight limit and it's tiny (it was sooo full when we walked up and cars were struggling to turn around and park).

We parked at the bottom carpark and walked up which took about 20-30 minutes extra each way, then once you're through the top carpark it gets a little iffy, with some parts climbing over rocks and through tiny waterfalls for another 40 or so minutes, but it's worth it for the view at the top 😍 have you been before?

Missing sunny warm days in the van, being able to throw open the back doors for some fresh air. These fly mesh curtains were a life saver in Scotland! They didn't keep the midges out, but it did make it harder for them to get in.

We had quite a few questions about them, so we popped a link in our bio - they're in our Amazon shop, under Van Accessories for anyone interested 😊

How many times do you think we used the kayaks? I was worried we'd take them with us and never get them off the roof but we did! If you have kayaks, Scotland is the place to go!

If you're heading past Glencoe, we definitely recommend a stop at Glen Etive! You turn off rhe main road and it turns into a single lane road with plenty of passing places and areas to stop and is sooo beautiful! I think, if you go to the end of the road, there's a loch, but we spent a good few hours stopping and looking that we decided to turn around so that we could continue our journey north to Fort William! We were lucky and managed to watch some kayakers white water rafting down a waterfall too!

2nd time this year we've been stuck in the mud 😅

We pulled up to our forestry commission stay the night location on our second night, and for some reason, decided to do a little bit of off roading on the grass verge. Well, it was super boggy and the front wheel was well and truely stuck.

Luckily we had some amazing neighbours who happened to be climbers so had some super strong climbing rope with them and managed to tow us out, but phew we were panicking for a while there that we'd have a wasted day waiting for the AA to come help us out! Definitely think we need to invest in something to help us in future!

Have you ever been stuck? How did you get out?

We're back from Scotland! We had the best week and a half exploring one of my favourite countries and i had such a good time showing Shane around all the places we visited when i was growing up! One of our first stops was this waterfall we drove past on our drive from Dumfries to Glencoe, and i love a good waterfall. I just happened to spot a sign for it as we were driving along and told Shane to pull in and I'm so glad we did. It's only a 5 minute walk or so from the car park and it was lovely!

We packed up the van on Tuesday (only 3 days late), and drove up to Scotland for a week and a half of exploring! We've had 2 full days here so far and it's been lovely. The sun has come out today finally and it's actually been really warm. Oh, and we managed to get both kayaks on the roof... we're just yet to use them 😂 i have a feeling we won't be using them as much as shane expected!
