Hiking 15-Miles To Mainland Britain's Most Remote Village

Рет қаралды 62,925

Knoydart, sometimes known as Scotland's last wilderness, is a 55,000-acre peninsula located between Loch Nevis (which means heaven, in some Gaelic translations) and Loch Hourn (which means hell). It’s one of mainland Britain's most remote areas and is the only sizeable area in Britain that remains inaccessible to vehicles. It’s accessible only by foot or boat.
Over the next two days, I’ll be hiking a 15-mile route alone across the Knoydart Peninsula in the Scottish Highlands from Kinloch Hourn to Inverie, the most remote community on mainland Britain. Inverie is an isolated community and is home to the Old Forge, the UK's most remote pub.

WHO AM I?
If we haven't met before... Hi, I'm Ruth 👋 and I recently bought a campervan to travel my home country of Scotland after living overseas for 12 years. I’ve hardly seen anything or been anywhere in Scotland and now is the time to change that!
P.S. Some of the links in this description are affiliate links that I get a kickback from.

If you're considering doing this same hike, please ensure you have the correct equipment and are ready for all weather conditions. While I was lucky with sunny weather, remember that in Scotland, the weather can change quickly and conditions can turn dangerous. Knoydart is a very remote and isolated place and there is no phone network for the majority of the hike.

Ruth, on the subject of hiking equipment, in my part of the world, we insist on taking a hiking staff when going away from a well trodden path. You could twist an ankle or worst still, break a leg. In those cases, a staff with a good piece of thin rope can save your life in a remote location and provide assistance. Also, again in my location, a staff can ward off a snake or some suchlike.

One of the pleasures of Ruth's videos is that she doesn't pretend to be some infallible travel expert. If she steps in a bog, or worries about deer, or has trouble with her cooker, it's all included.

What you were looking at, 23.51 on the video, they are dollop mounds created by a 360 ° digger (usually), it is ground preparation for planting tree seedlings, the seedling is planted on the dollop, it gives the seedling a chance to establish before the grass, bracken or rushes choke the young tree out. Great videos Ruth, thank you.

I did this walk with my Fell Terrier about 20 years ago. The bothy was much more basic in those days. Met some guys there who were climbing the local hills, other than that did not see any one on the trail. The first day was good weather, the second day it was very wet. Walked to the pub and had a beer before getting on boat back to Mallaig. I certainly recognise parts of the trail - it was a good trip down memory land.

As a boy I was always told to filter water before drinking it. My science teacher’s brother died after drinking water from a stream. Upon investigating the cause, a dead sheep was found up stream from where he drank. When I saw Ruth drink the water I thought about that, then when she showed us the dead deer later, it just reinforced the point. You can get bottles with filters, definitely better to be safe. Besides the gloom, I never knew about this place-I wonder if a mountain bike can get along that path? If you can catch the weather this would be perfect.

Beautiful scenery, and another great episode. Make sure you use a filter if you’re going to drink from the streams. That dead deer is a prime example of why you should never drink straight from a stream. You don’t know what’s just up stream from you, and it could put you in hospital, or worse!

Deer will attack people. It is very rare. It almost always happens during the rut and almost always when people get too close to the bucks during the rut. Give them space during the rut and you won’t be bothered. I have the original Jet Boil and love it for heating water and have used it a couple of times for a stew. It will hold the propane can, burner assembly, and the stand The smaller one does seem to have a packing issue. I use freeze dried food packs for the back country. Having said all that. This was a fantastic video. I really enjoyed the scenery and your commentary. Beautiful places.

Hi Ruth Your videos are obviously aimed at an international audience and as such are excellent adverts for the beauty of Scotland. I have walked and climbed all over this beautiful country for almost 50 years but must confess to not having yet walked from Kinlochhourn to Barrisadale. I have however been to Inverie and the Knoydart area by boat on several occasions. You were lucky with the weather and I would advise anyone attempting this walk to take the proper equipment. There are plenty of videos reviewing suitable equipment. The jetboil stash is an expensive bit of kit but does what it says on the tin. Not sure why you had issues with it. I have drunk water from mountain streams for years with no ill effects up until a couple of years ago when I picked up a severe case of cryptosporidium. There are many water filters available although TBH high in the mountains the water is pretty clean. Deer are very unlikely to attack you highland cattle with young calves are a more likely threat. Also despite use of GPS and various apps it is advisable to have a detailed map and compass and know how to use them. Finally there are plenty of dehydrated meals available which are very light to carry any good outdoor store will have a range of them to buy.

The "Cape Wrath Trail" isn't a fixed route. If you asked half a dozen walkers what the route is, you might get half a dozen different answers. There are at least two guide books on the walk. The point to remember is that the further North you go, the more remote from habitation, shops, public transport etc. Enjoyed this video. Thanks.

Check out the old forge inn, thinks it’s run by the community now. Read about the story about when the drug bust got done. Speed boats went rushing into there. I forget what the monument was but l did pass it. Deer just be careful in the rutting season. And the cape wrath trail is a beast. 2 weeks minimum l think weather permitting.

I found the hike from Kinloch Hourn really strenuous - that little burn you found so easy was in spate at the time and quite tough to cross. And Barrisdale Bothy is a great place.

Sometimes known as restock sites and replacing dead or eaten trees is often called a beat up. Thanks for sharing another great video on your amazing journey 🙏🏻
