Attacked By Midges - Gift & The Curse Of Scotland Vanlife UK. In this week's Scotland Vanlife UK vlog, we take our tiny home on wheels Old Gertie our 1989 Talbot Express Campervan to two park-ups for you. One by the beach at Luce Bay, the perfect vanlife overnight parking spot next to the sea. It's on the South West 300 and in Dumfries and Galloway.
Then we try to escape the heat and head to the Galloway Forest Park to seek shade and shelter from the sun. We have found one of the best vanlife overnight parking spots in Scotland so far. With plenty of wild parking spots, rivers, waterfalls and a stunning forest loop walk (Cornish Hill). The walk takes you through all types of terrain and scenery. With plenty of Lochs, it's a walker and van life dream overnight wild camping spot.
Like more places in Scotland's countryside, we got attacked by Midges. They were insane. Crawling all over our faces and skin. Kez had to run back to the van to keep safe. I flew the drown before taking refuge back in the Campervan. It was not fun, but it's all part and parcel of vanlife in Scotland. Be warned not to take the Midges lightly. Because they are coming for you.
Full time vanlife in Scotland doesn't get better than this... Or does it. Watch along to find out.

Who are Trist and Kez
We’re Trist and Kez, a couple in their 40’s. We’ve sold everything for a life on the road. Come and join us as we show you our Van life UK Travel Series. We show the best spots for van camping, hiking and exploring, from the countryside to the coastline of our home island.
👫🐶 Our aim as (another) van life couple (and our dog and cat) is to document each UK road trip we take, sharing tips and tricks for van camping in the UK. In summary, we want everyone to be able to access the magic that Van Life UK opens to us all. Adventures in the great outdoors. We also appreciate that travelling in a van with a dog isn't always the easiest, therefore everywhere we share is 100% dog-friendly.
