This is the most inaccessible Airbnb in the UK.
Over the years we've gone on some crazy adventures around the world but we haven't explored much of the UK.
So we got chatting about another epic road trip.
Actually this would work really well, because we’ve got a sponsor
called Herschel Supply, and their slogan is literally ‘Put Yourself Out There’.
They’re gonna love it.
Let’s put ourselves out, as far as we possibly can put ourselves within the UK.
So there it was, we were gonna keep going north
until we reached the very edge of the UK, in search of the most inaccessible Airbnb in the country.
So we packed up our shiny new Herschel bags and hit the road.
I just woke up...
Edinburgh Castle!
Are you ready for this Joel? I was born ready!
Next leg, mate!
Woo!
We have a flat tyre...
Have you changed a tyre before?
I drive a Tesla, what do you think?
We started to loosen up the bolts to change the tyre,
but one of the nuts just wouldn’t budge.
Oh wow, this one's harder.
No no no no no no no no.
This is the last thing we need.
Ahh!
It’s gonna break through.
Oh!
That's moved.
Has it moved or has it like bent?
And then, out of nowhere, a guy called Gary with a huge ginger beard said he could help.
He went to his car, and pulled out a massive steel pipe
that he said he carries everywhere for some reason.
Anyway, it turned out to be exactly what we needed.
And just like that, we were on the road again.
Thanks Gary!
Roadtrip babyyy!
Shall we all get matching tattoos?
Along the way we met some amazing people… and ate some of the best food ever
I’ll have that one maybe.
You sir, are the meat Yoda.
That was a big oyster.
It’s one of the biggest oysters I’ve ever had.
Swallow it, don’t chew.
Don’t chew, just swallow.
It’s too big to swallow.
Ok, chew a little bit.
So, we're literally just following this guy we've just met who showed up in a kilt.
Can you play like any songs on this?
I’ll try.
Yes, that’s it!
That’s it! You got it!
We’d had an amazing three days driving around Scotland
and filming with the people we met, but now it was time to head north…
To Shetland.
The Shetland Islands lie roughly a hundred miles north of the Scottish coast,
in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean
So if you’re thinking that tiny plane looks a little bit scary…
you’d be right.
Welcome to Shetland.
Thank you.
We are on the island of Shetland...one of the Shetland islands,
I don't know what it's called.
This is almost the most northerly you can possibly be within the United Kingdom.
It took a long time to get here, involving flying, driving,
and then a propeller plane which was…
I'm sure safe, but didn't feel that safe.
And we're now about to go and take a ferry to an even smaller island…
apparently there's like four people on the island right now and that's like,
those are the inhabitants.
GPS: You have reached your destination.
Is that it?
Is that our boat?
Wait, that one?
NO...
That’s tiny!
Yeah.
Okay.
Kind of rough?
Wow.
She just said it's going to be kind of rough.
They're strapping the car down because otherwise it's going to be sliding all around this boat.
How are you feeling?
I'm scared.
Okay...
Okay great, do I give them back to you afterwards, or…?
Bye bye Shetland, onto Papa Stour!
Most remote Airbnb in the UK, here we come!
It's a 20-minute boat ride and she just gave us sick bags and was like you're gonna need
this.
Yeah.
How bad can it be?
Ohhh wow.
This is unlike anything…
Holy moly.
Wow this is something else.
I'm trying to look relaxed.
This is an insane ferry.
Whoa!
Oh my gosh!
It’s just there.
What a whale?
Yeah, a massive whale.
Oh yes!
There there there there!
Woahh.
That’s Papa Stour!
That's where we're going!
Land a-ho!
What is it?
Land ahoy!
Land a-ho!
Land ahoy!
This is easily the most epic ferry I've ever been in.
Yeah.
This is one of the most epic journeys probably possible within the UK
I don't know whether Adam's been sick but he looks…
He looks very unwell.
He looks like a corpse.
Wow, look at this landscape man!
This is unreal!
There's a seal just bathing on the flipping side of the island!
Hi there, how you doing?
When we finally got to the island, there was a large party of people waiting
to meet us.
Well, there were three of them, and their really cute dog,
so I used all four of my arms to stroke it
So I think we met everyone on the island the moment we got off the ferry,
which means now we go into the island there's not going to be anyone else.
Not only did they come to greet us, they also came to pick up supplies
Yeah, of course.
Of course, because the only way they get anything from the mainland, is this ferry.
I can't believe we're still in the UK.
Oh my gosh that's our Bnb!
Up there!
What, over the horizon there?
Yeah.
That's stunning.
It's going to be a westerly wind and you need to park with your nose into the wind
or you'll lose your doors
Wow.
Ohhhkay...
That's good to know.
If you back it up here a bit...
Yeah, sure.
You’ll probably be safest.
Ohhhkay.
Wow...we've made it Josh!
I love it.
Ollie that's your room.
Ah, get the kettle on.
The island is only 2.5 miles across, And so we decided to head out into the wilderness
to explore the area around the cottage.
To be honest, we couldn’t really believe what we were seeing.
It was such a dramatic landscape, unlike anything we’d seen before in the UK
It’s really hard to fathom just how isolated it is.
If something goes wrong, there’s no doctor.
There’s no police.
There’s no shops.
There’s only one road.
You’re in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, surrounded by waves and seals.
And after what has been a really rough two years for us, and for so many people,
it felt like a really great reminder of all we’ve got to be thankful for.
This is epic, man.
What an adventure.
We’re so blessed aren't we?
Can you believe that we're just here after this big journey,
it's so overwhelming in a lot of ways.
I love you guys.
Woah, it’s kind of like…
4:30 and pitch black.
Is that the house, there?
That must be it.
After the long walk, Sabina and Andy, the owners of the cottage we were staying in,
invited us over for a home cooked meal.
It’s all homemade, let’s say.
We didn’t get electricity until 1990.
No way.
Was this grown on your land?
Yes, in fact you will have passed its parents out the back. Well, it’s mother.
It couldn’t be more organic; it’s never met any sort of chemical in its life.
Wow, That looks really tender.
This is a shoulder.
This has got to be the most local lamb I’ve ever eaten.
This has got to be the most local meal I’ve ever eaten.
Yeah.
Oh my days.
I’m so ready for this.
Already we were talking on our walk about how many things we have to be thankful for,
and just being here and seeing this beautiful scenery is really mind-blowing.
Exactly.
An attitude of gratitude is the most important thing.
Thank you so much for inviting us over.
Guys.
Fireworks.
Do you remember the last time we set off fireworks?
Yes.
Do you remember how well it went?
There’s a high chance this may go how it went last time.
Alright, stand back.
Are you ready?
Yeah, I guess so, it’s a firework, isn’t it?
What are you gonna do?
Alright.
Oh my gosh.
So...
Why are you being so aggressive?
So, that has been the loneliest Airbnb in the UK.
Yeah.
It’s a pretty incredible island.
If you guys wanna come check it out, you should.
It’s an amazing island, I would definitely recommend coming here.
Completely unforgettable experience.
People are amazing, food’s incredible.
