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

Рет қаралды 40,968

Ай бұрын

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. 👇👇👇

The Tent scene deserves to be a video in its own right, so we can all like it again!

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.

Paul - 30 years in the Army (Medic!!!!) and many solo long distance hikes behind me (and more to come I hope) I just want to say how enjoyable this video was - one of your best ever. The tent-pitching segment made me laugh like a drain (thanks for that mucker, you showed how important morale is in times of hardship ). For your next circular walk try Arran - a wonderful varied Scottish trip. Love to you and Fern.

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.

Done the "Bad Step" a few times, and that cliff walk in the dark (headtorch) with horizontal wind and rain, back in late 80's - pretty dangerous path needing good concentration. Nice to be travelling with you through the videos, ATB.

@easternmenace Ай бұрын

Haha when I saw that waterfall I though, Hazey would probably shower under that. I also didn't do the bad step even though the weather was perfect just thought it might take too long as I only had 5 days. As for the trail to Elgol I didn't find it that bad to be honest, it was quite fun and I saw a black adder on it too. In fact the trail along the loch to Kinloch Hourn on the Cape wrath trail was worse and I nearly fell into the sea on it. Great video and the tent pitching was hilarious.

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.

@@HazeOutdoors An Teallach, a pointy monster of a mountain. one that gives me the fear. theres a bad step for you check it out. at its foot Shenevall bothy. a real gem of a place. SSW of there is Carnmore bothy, SE corner of Fionn Loch. SSE of there is the imposing Slioch but the whole place is worth staring at in exhausted awe. bit of a drive for you but if you use the bothys you can travel light to mak e up for it. Torridon though is a different world. if you want a bad step theres one in those hills that i still get the fear from decades later

Haha, dude you're awesome! Just got back from my first 5 day and feel so relaxed and content after. It cracked me up watching your vid with how relatable it was. 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!
