Trekking Solo In The Highlands | Cape Wrath Trail vlog EP3
Рет қаралды 55,741
2 жыл бұрынPart 3 of the CAPE WRATH Trail, heading from Sourlies northbound to Barisdale Bay. This had to be one of my hardest stages! The Cape Wrath Trail is a 230 mile hiking trail that crosses the highlands through bogs, glens, rivers and over mountains.
Such beautiful views passing these remote sections of the Scottish Highlands, even got to see some red deer on my travels.
Thank you so much everyone for your support and leaving such lovely comments :) Take care!

300 days of rain a year in Scotland. The North Atlantic is but a stone throws away. The waters around the Western Isles are some of the most dangerous on the planet and the mountains just love to empty the clouds...happy days. One point to remember for those who do not walk in the Highlands...we do mountain miles. That is to say for every mile one walks along you walk another upwards...and by default downwards.

a wee tip when your feet are getting so wet is put your socks on dry then put plastic bags on top then into your shoes ,boots good always when in wet Scotland 🏴

Oh Becky, this looked tough as nails. As you said, sometimes getting lost is a good learning experience. As long as you come out of it OK. But you kept pushing on and that is a true testimony to your strength. Honestly in awe of your inner grit to keep going. Can't wait to the next episode.

All credit to you. That stretch from Sourlies to Barrisdale, through Glen Carnach under Ben Aden is one of the toughest walks there is. I did it on the 20th December 1972 in force nine horizontal rain. It was part of an ill fated walk from Morar station to the Kintail Lodge Hotel. The party was Mad Max Hargreaves, Graham Bacon, John Fox and Rosie Gibson. The part where you went astray is all too easy to do, as the ground is rough and trackless, at least it was when we did it. At the time there was a fisherman living at Barrisdale, and he gave us a lift over Loch Hourn to the path that leads to Corran. The next day, Hogmanay, we got lost and had to be recused by pals at the Kintail Lodge Hotel driving over Mam Ratagan. No GoreTex then. Well done.

Carrying around 20kgs of backpack over that type of terrain is no joke. I am fit and weigh 80kg, I would find it hard. Until you have done something like that you can’t appreciate how tough it can be, day after day. You probably weigh around 50kgs so at around 20kgs you are carrying 40-50% of your body weight on your back. Hats off to you, I couldn’t carry half my body weight like that. It would certainly be a case of “mediiic!” Hard as nails, girl. Well done. respect

Do you ever think that even when it’s all we’t and yucky out that you know that you can look forward to getting into a nice warm sleeping back at the end of the day? When I used to camp, I had a small Coleman gas light and I used to hang it below my rood vent of my tent which had a loop. So I used to hang my light from a bungee which hooked into the roof vent loop and the gas lamp was about 30cms below so there was no way it could catch any material and burn the tent but it really used to make my tent so lovely and toasty and there was no danger from Carbon Monoxide as if the lamp flame ever went yellow which it never did you could shut it down and of course the roof vent provided good ventilation. Never would have gone to sleep with it of course but it allowed me to warm up, dry off and even could,get my clothes dry.

Good morning Becky. Intense thinking along with physical labor can take a toll on the body. The extra sleep rejuvenates so you can crack on. Learning from a mistake is the best teacher. Food is very important and there will be future gift cards. And congratulations on becoming an ambassador for Kendal Mint Cake Company. As mentioned in ep2, you have an outstanding sense of humor. Thank you Becky for sharing part 3 and am looking forward to part 4. Have a wonderful day.

Any, and many of these things i've encountered while out hiking have made me doubt what the F*** am i doing?. Whereas you can only see the the bigger picture, the stunning scenery and the joy of being outdoors. I utterly commend you for that. Loving the series. You talk to us like a friend sitting in the pub recounting your adventures. Nice one

Love how you always acknowledge the nature around you. It’s like your point of going back to beauty that calms everything down. Also a good idea to talk about not doing it all if you don’t feel well or whatever. There’s no need to do it all and just enjoy the experience.
