Hiking 80 Miles in the Scottish Wilderness | Camping in a THUNDERSTORM on the Skye Trail

The Skye Trail on the Isle of Skye is an 80 mile multi day hike through some of the most breathtaking scenery the world has to offer. The trail is often unmarked and precarious, it's also exposed to the ever changing weather so experience in hiking and navigation is essential. 👇👇👇

Just in case anyone was wondering about the plastic beach junk on remote beaches on Skye, there’s actually a fab organisation ‘Skye Beach Cleans’ who do great work gathering volunteers to go out and mass beach clean. Last year over 2 weekends they cleared 10 tonnes of junk off Skye beaches. There are similar grassroots groups in Caithness, Fife, East Lothian… I’m in the Eastern part of the Northern Highlands and regularly beach clean on my walks - I can say that the biggest component of what I see and remove is fishing related - nets, lobster creels, fish crates, floats, rubber gloves, etc. after that it’s food and cleaning packaging, then farming related waste.

Thank you for this video. I have done extensive walking in the Uk (boast: climbed all the Munros in Scotland) but I have a phobia of being struck by lightning. In 1989 when walking the Pennine way, I was going across Withins heights during which I experienced a dry thunderstorm (my only experience of such), it was a clear mist but bolts of lightning hitting the ground all around me. Nowhere to take shelter, just kept waling, 'God protect me.'

All after 50:38 on map time was my mapping area in the summer of 1995 when doing a geology degree. Spent most of a month in that area: Ben Meabost, the coast along to Elgol, Cammasunary & the Bad Step. I recognised the pines where you camped and that little reservoir in the back ground. I got caught in a thunder storm hiking east from the beach platforms, up on over the saddle and down along the track (built by the RAF Regiment in believe). I remember being terrified I’d get struck by lightning because of the metal on my climbing boots, my hammer and my watch! Thanks for reminding me of a brilliant adventure so long ago. Great video.

This section was a favourite of mine when I did it with friends. We got two skinny dips in on the route from Sligachan to Camasunary. Proper beauty, we met some geordies at the Bothy where we stayed the night before heading around Elgol. which we didn't think was dangerous at the time, but that was almost 8 years ago now. Proper fantastic Trail. I'm jealous you're living it out Haze

you should get yourself up Fisherfield and Dundonnell areas. theres are a couple of circuit walks you wouldnt believe, and they are paths less youtubed. you would appreciate the Assynt area too it has some of the more photogenic little hills and alien terrain. Torridon for slightly bigger more dramatic scenery. everyone does the CWT and WHW but there are better less famous wanders up this way that are far more impressive. some nice wee bothys too as a "local" i find the more popular routes far too busy. crowded even.

I dig the slight, or sometimes large overcoming of adversity, pushing yourself, learning what you can do without. I love the sort of simple rhythm of hiking. You walk, find camp, pitch, clean, cook, chill, sleep, repeat, with all the in betweens. Doing it with your partner is a whole other experience again. Love the lanshan 2 as well. Its just such and good little tent that packs so small for the price.

When he got up to leave, I just bit the bullet and asked him "do we know each other... Have we met?" as soon as he said "no, I don't think so", it just clicked. I said "are you big D? Hazey's mate".. He laughed, said yeah, and that he misses it,a bit. Then thanked me, as he hadn't been recognised in a while. I don't know why, but it felt surreal. Proper made my day. As you always do!

Portree! The family and I stayed at the Shorelands homestay back in 2022, and I fell in love in the town for the few days we were there. Took a boat out on the bay and saw the seals and birds, what a beautiful part of the world! Shame that our time at the Old Man was pure fog. Ate monkfish for the first (and still only) time at The Lower Deck, wish we could get that stuff in the US. I have the exact same Opinel Colorama (No. 7) that I got from the outdoor shop in town as well. And at 47:41, that's just steps beyond the gas station I remember being shocked at how much cheaper stuff was in Scotland than the US, maybe 10 paces past the driveway to get to the homestay! Just two years too late, aye?
