Trekking Solo In the Highlands | Cape Wrath Trail EP6
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 вер 2024
- Hey everyone, thank you so much for watching and supporting my videos! I really appreciate all the lovely comments I've been receiving recently. Here is ep6, in this video, I backpack from Orkel Bridge, after wild camping there the night, i head off early along the river orkel, this was a 19 mile day and I managed to set up on a beautiful spot amist the mountains. The following day, I headed onto the Glendu bothy which was absolutely breathtaking, the first glimpses of the sea. Next morning, was very chilly, I set off at first light and trekked all the way to Rhionich where I set up for the night, this place was beautiful over looking a sea loch and reflecting on my journey so far, knowing I haven't got too far to push on... Will I make it to the Cape Wrath Lighthouse...
I hope you enjoy xoxo

This young woman is living🙌🏽
Thank you Chris :)
I love the brown look in scotlanf during atumm winter and spring, looks so nice whith snow capped mountains
Water proofing spray would take care of your shoes. Devise a device to hang your socks over while cooking your food. A bread toaster comes to mind.
Woo watt a advertisement you are for the youth of today I think your brill go girl your living your life in a good way All the best neil.
Thank you for the post, have a great day 🏕
The section from Oykel Bridge onwards really was the best part of the trail for me, I stayed at the Schoolhouse Bothy though, met a few others and it was a good night. The Bealach at Ben More Assynt you talked about the stunning view was where I camped, the views and the sunset were as you say absolutely stunning. The following days' hike I spent just gobsmacked at how beautiful it was until I spent a perfect night at Glendhu Bothy by myself.
I liked Benmore Lodge although my experience will add to your creepiness I think. A hunt was returning with a stag and a lassie I got speaking to makes extra cash from collecting animal bones/skulls from the estate and selling them on.
That camp though was amazing at Ben More.
Good stuff, yet again. 19 mile stretches seem to be just about typical for you. Enjoying the series....
I’m very impressed with your trek. Your courage, cheerful demeanour and steadfastness are outstanding. I’ve done some long distance walking myself so appreciate the trials, tribulations and elations. Loving your photography , commentary and cheeky grin.
Congratulations for getting this far, can’t wait for you to get to the finish line.
I loved to see your channel! I just found this. Beautiful pictures! Now I am looking at Haze his yourney and I smile every time he says Medic! Because you told that! :)
Really enjoying this series, your a hardy lass & obviously enjoyed the experience. Well done & good for you.
Thank youu!!
Fab videos Becky, I always look forward to your next upload! And loving the Haze quotes, ‘MEDIC!’ 😂
Yay, thank you!
I'm impressed by how elevated your mood is in spite of the Scottish weather! Good for you, Becky. And thanks for taking us along.
Sure... the landscape and your surroundings are pretty, but you in the scenery makes it even more beautiful to see. Lots of love and blessings from Ontario Canada. No shit!
Despite the harsh conditions and discomfort, Becky, you sound happier and more confident these days. You find plenty of interesting things to show us. But, if you ever find yourself short of things to say, I'm sure viewers would enjoy hearing snippets of your earlier history, pre-UA-cam, and how you got to be here. Sad to be near the end of the trip. Come and explore some more wilderness in the Cairngorms soon!
Another epic episode 🤩💯👌🏽 you go young lady! awesome 😎 and very beautiful views but to cold for me 😂
Where you camped at the end of the day is approximately 2 miles north of where my mother grew up in the 1930s to 50s.
It's still a hard way of life today, but brutally tough for previous generations.
Cool 😎 video, I camped at loch ailsh it was pretty boggy at the end of the river. I stopped at one of them huts to make a brew and get out of the rain. It's really good watching this seeing where I've been 👌. My video's are rubbish no talking in them 😂
Fantastic Becky,really enjoying this series.So many people wouldn’t even think about tackling this ,but your doing brilliant.Some real challenges for you with wet clothes and wet footwear a lot of the time,limited food etc but you’ve showed us some amazing scenery.some amazing camera work also.best wishes to you,looking forward to episode 7.👍
You are amazing. The views were awesome. Thanks for sharing .. Stay well and be safe.
I remember the endless bog before you did that last river crossing. It was actually nice to cross to wash all the big off 😂. I carried on hoping to get to the hotel but it was shut 🙄. Next day a shop 👌😊
Hello! My friend.
Wow! It's such a healing, beauty, and moving hiking camping ❤🌿🥀 video.
Especially, the scenery of nature is fantastic.
Have a lucky 💚🌿💖 day.
👍👍👍🤙👌
We enjoyed your epic solo journey so very much. What a brave adventure you have had. Well done, you.
Pat & Kate Brougham, Duvall, Washington, USA
Thanks so much!
Awesome Beck's ..the meals .they do 1000 cal versions . You mentioned you could eat another, theres a lot more in them ..( but its bulk ) . Loch assynt is " a sin t " was based there for years . Luvly place , hope your trench foot sorts itself out brrrrrr .. big leather boots and gaitors ,thats how i.litterally walked my heels off .. they totally came off in my socks like the bottoms of jammy dodgers ,, great video 😊
I stayed in the bothy you camped next to got a fire going washed and dried my stuff there. Sunrise there was lovely 👌😊 lot's of climbing after
Another great video! Hope you make it to the lighthouse¬The bird you found was a guillemot
It’s one of the best parts of the day when you’ve walked a long way through some magnificent scenery and you’re contemplating many things, or just being still, as you look out from your open tent and think, “this is just awesome.”
Love it love u. All the best for 2022
Nice one Becky. It's all looking great and you're doing a fantastic job. I'm sure you'll cherish the memories made on this trip for the rest of your life.
Definitely! Thank you :)
I absolutely love your go-to adjective “lush.” I don’t know why but it’s just such a perfect descriptor.
Another totally brilliant episode Becky, and those views are to die for. Your editing skills are on the money too. I get real excited when I get a notification of a new video from you, and that's saying something... from an old codger! Great stuff gal'. Roll on ep7.
Aww thanks so much, means a lot
Very inspiring video as always, Becky.
Hi Becky. Iain Harper’s Cicerone guide just arrived😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The view out from the tent at the end is the money shot. The perfect setting for reflection and to be at peace. Loved the video
The highlands of Scotland are very amazing and stunning views 👍👍👍🇵🇭
beautiful and unique and rugged, thank you for the views and your hiking. Be careful out there!
Another belter kiddo!
I get so excited when I see a new one of these videos pop up!!!!!
awwww
@@GirlOutdoors Seriously I'm envious. Keep it up.
Amazing Becky, really enjoying your CWT hike and your bubbly chat on the trail! Enjoy and experience every (soggy) step! ⛺️👣🧚♀️🦉🌯👍😎
How you're finding the time and energy to produce a top quality travel vid and hike across a rather rugged country is beyond me! Not just fascinating to watch but inspirational as well. Just Epic.
Aw thanks, that means a lot!
Grey,rainy and windy are the best days! Long live to the highlands,cheers for hikings like this. Great video Becky.
Oml you came on to my suggestions, eps 3 watched it then back to eps 1 watched up to this episode what an amazing journey/ hike your doing. Beautiful country, how many more episode's. New avid subscriber right here...
Thanks so much!
Amazing ability you have Becky. You are living life and taking action in finding solutions for happiness instead of living in lifes problems like so many are doing these days. You are bring to us the best in life. Your an Amazing person and and I thank you from the bottom of my heart, truly. Please keep bringing us your videos and God given talents you have been blessed with. You will one day deserve a "Lifetime Achievement Award". Your earning it now.
Aw thank you so much!
Proper Wild in this part
Ok thank you very much
Enjoyed your trip in the pac raft the other week, but this is another level. The further north you get the more stunning it becomes. Great filming and commentary, while your on the move, even if the pronunciations are a bit iffy at times 🤣🤣
I got to the bit in the video where you were talking about getting up in morning and you mentioned jeans. These are the worst possible items to wear hiking. Jeans can take days to dry if you dont have access to proper drying facility's. The scenery is beautiful though.
In Oregon we have a saying, " If you don't like the weather, wait 30 minutes." I never realized that Oregon and Scotland were twin Sisters! I am so glad you trusted your intuition or "Gut instinct" when it comes to strange places. It will never fail you. I feel for your wetness! You are almost at the end of your amazing trek. I keep wanting to watch " Brave Heart " again, they were a hearty bunch running through the mountains! Thank you it's brilliant..
Whenever im tired or down i simple listen and look at your video s cheers Rob
Just found your Chanel Becky,I am enjoying watching your adventures and looking forward to the next one.🤗
Between the Bone Caves at Inchnadamph, past the highest waterfall in the UK, through towards Kylesku is some of the best scenery in the country. You had nice views of Quinag. A beautiful mountain to climb. Glad it went well through there. You know by now you're an honorary Scot. We just need to work on your pronunciation lol. Great work ❤️
fantastic stuff girl , well done ,watched all the walk ,, and saw some brilliant footage along the way
That is an absolutely beautiful place Becky. Makes me wanna pack up and move there. Cheers lass love ya.
I bet! It’s lovely
Absolutely mental stage, between glencoul and glendhu bothy!! We saw a similar military plane on the same day, funny, and I think the next day was the one we met at the police station 😅
Haha! Yeah lucky you got to Durness as well!!
@@GirlOutdoors Absolutely! John the Lighthousekeeper really helped us out, organised the Bus and ferry, he even let us sleep in the cafe, so that we didnt have to walk to the nearby Bothy, the weather was mental that night, storm and the rain even found a way through the windows of the cafe😅
The Weather? "All over the gaff!" Love it - the daughter I never had!
Amazing Becky! Brilliant when you could see the sea and said "Cape Wrath... here I come... whoop whoop"
Haha thank you :)
If I had ever hiked through there, you would have seen me in the river fishing. I would still be there because I would never leave! Incredible beauty!!!
Your getting closer! The Pup and I are cheering for you.
Love the Highlands, I'm in Lincolnshire so a fair trek Pitlochery, Blairathol, killikranki, watch out for adders just subscribed Great video, be lucky
Another outstanding and well put together video. This part had some verity of paths or no path. And you are also maintaining your wonderful sense of humor. Thank you Becky for sharing and looking forward to the next part. Stay safe and have a wonderful day.
Very enjoyable watch, your commentary along the way taking in all the highs and lows is just great, I admire your optimism, just so lovely, I certainly have not done anything so gruelling as this, but certainly know about putting wet clothes back on and packing up a wet tent! cheers Dave
Awesome....... definitely top of my list for my next outing. All work and no play for me at the moment. Your videos Are keeping me sane and taking the stress off my days. Thankyou X
Well Becky, another stunning walk, this time through classic fly-fishing country! The walk up the trail from the Inchnadamph Hotel to the waterfall took you past several good trout lochs, and I've fished Loch Stack many times! Then from Loch Stack you took the trail in the direction of the famous and prolific Stalkers brown trout beat, but you avoided the right turn to the beat in favour of the route straight ahead to Rhiconich (pronounced Rick-on-ick with the emphasis on "on" 😊. Maybe you should have taken a fly rod after all - but with 19 miles you wouldn't have had time to fish...it normally takes me 4 hours to catch something 😁 Now going to watch the finale! 👏
Another lovely video,you are doing really well and looking very healthy and fresh faced and still that lovely smile that shows you are really enjoyed it all. Well done.
Well done with the river crossings!
The scenery in this video is just absolutely stunning !
I’ve been binging your trip and have to say this has been one of the most beautiful days. Been a real eye opener seeing exactly what this hike has to offer and the challenges you’ll face.
Such a great experience to have and very special that you’ll one day be able to look back at this. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks so much!
So impressed with what you have done and your positivity no matter what the highlands throw at you - quite inspiring !!
Those views are stunning.
Sure like your videos. ✌️👊
I am so impressed with your achievement. Having spent 40 years walking some of Britain's most challenging walks and climbs I know what you have been through, and how you must have felt. To do this as a single woman is awesome. Some years ago, long before there was a 'Cape Wrath Trail' I walked to the lighthouse and back to Blairmore. Northward of Sandwood Bay there is no path, and following the coast the going is really rough. To complete this trail, alone and camping, is one extraordinary accomplishment. You have my total respect !
Thank you so so much for your comment! x
Great video again Becky the scenery and your commentary are second to none. You do make a good film
Loving every episode Becks. You're doing a great job :-)
Ouch those wet feet.
Best series so far. Keep it up. Great to watch.
xx
Aw that means a lot! Take care :)
Woo hoo episode 6 that's tonight's viewing sorted. 😀 Fantastic episode really enjoyed it, was lovely to see Assynt been a few years since been there. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome vlog , I have enjoyed every minute. I admire your optimism and will to complete the journey.
Thank you for taking us with you ....
Wow! That stage was sooo pretty, my fav so far. Thank you.
Yay! Thank you!
another great story from you.....with awesome landscape and wild. thanks you again for share this.
Thank you very much 😊
Just binge watched ep5 and ep6 to catch up. Not sure I'd have shown such forebearance under persistent wet socks conditions, you're a total trooper. Loving following your journey and fingers crossed they let you cross the range when you get there.
I can see that your truly loving life up there Becky.well done. Take care and stay safe,focused on your goal.
aw thank you John, hope you're keeping well - that's really kind what you did for Lou :) take care x
Another great episode woohoo !!
The scenery are so beautiful and add to that, eating a spaghetti bolognese in the middle of no where….. so cool.
An endless series would be nice 😊
Thank you so much for sharing 👌!!
Awesome story 👏 fantastic. I love ❤ how upbeat you are. Great motivation.
Good luck. Looking forward to seeing more.
Go you.
Nice one Becky, really enjoying the series, thanks for the upload, living the dream! 😁
Yay ep 6. It does look like a great adventure and a great achievement. Very well done. 💪
I wish I was young again with working knees and back so I could join you on this epic hike
it iz what it iz, Lush! x
Ok ...All set. Just made my final $5000.00 US deposit to BushWacker Man, I am booked for the Cape Wrath Trail and your guide skills course, my group however will be using Donkeys and Mules. They will arrive at your Dads about a month early, he said no problem. Please make sure he feeds them twice a day, and not from behind. Looking forward to the tour. Cheers! We will head out when you get home. BushWacker Man said no problem...!
Miss Becky I am watching every episode. How do you stay so pretty? Can't wait for more. ❤🌹 from Texas.
Great video Becky. This one has the most spectacular views so far. Just lovely. You seem to be powering on, hopefully you will be able to reach the lighthouse. Good luck. Stay strong and safe.
Thank you Jay, all the best x
Absolutely loving this series Becky. I look forward to seeing your future trips. Keep up the brilliant work
Coming thick and fast another brilliant episode loving the scenery looking forward to Sandwood Bay which is special my brother in law is one of those that as done all the Monros and is now tackling the Corbetts
Thank you!
Your brother in law is amazing then :)
I wish I looked as fresh as you after 19 miles mate. I look like something that used to live in that cave. Amazing courage & stamina Becks. Looking forward to the next one & beautiful Sandwood Bay xx
Haha thanks Michael!
Loving your trek Becky. As a scot who is unfit to see our beautiful country i'm really enjoying seeing this through your journey. To do what you are doing goes beyond saying well done.
Just gets nicer the further north you go. Pretty amazing 😋👍🏻
episode 6 dominated by fine views and a lot of water. well done magical very envious.
Hi Becky, another insightful episode of your big adventure. You make it look so easy. My feet were cold just watching you walk through that water. Stay safe out there. 😎
Haha thanks Andy
I should add that your Mom, Dad(Bushwhacker Man), Louise, and "Buster" must be sooooooooooooooooo proud of you Becky. ✌✌👍👍🌹🌹
Really enjoying your walk Becky 😁 the scenery is amazing,and loving your positivity 👌🤩
Good Lord Almighty Becky! After each episode I just become more impressed with your tenaciousness! You just kept marching along in absolute CRAP cold and wet weather.
Those who have not trekked in cold weather with wet boots have no clue how miserable that is. I know I "hated" it whenever I've had to do it. :) Then crossing those fast river crossings. Man!! That just sucks any time of year. Never mind when it's cold. And it is quite sketchy too. A fall into a rocky, cold river could end VERY badly. I've said it before and I'm going to say it again. You are my hero Becky. 👍👍💖💖💖💖🌹🌹🌹👌✌ Were I there in Durness when you finished at the Lighthouse, I would buy you the best meal in town and put you up in the best hotel. Looking forward to the final trek. You GO girl!! Love ya! 💖💖💖💖🌹🌹👍👍
Note for golfers: The golf course in Durness is one of the most fun I have every played anywhere. Challenging in the ever constant WND and STUNNING views of the sea.
Epic trek. Great video. Great narration. I too have experienced cold wet socks and shoes in the morning. You're a trooper. You're also a Lass Outdoors these days.
Good stuff, Becky. You're making me want a dehydrated meal now. Lol. Thanks! 🙂👍
