    What a great journey you have had. I am glad that the SNT did not make it easy for you as it is in these times you really begin to understand the incredible things you are capable of. Resilience and perseverance, when it is easier to quit, makes these adventures truly memorable and proud worthy. Hope to see you guys on a UK trail very soon. Until then happy times with family and Bobo. ❤

    Congratulations for completing your journey and thank you for taking us along. I can’t express how much I enjoyed your videos with the beautiful vistas and interesting villages you passed through, the Botha’s you stayed at and the historical sites you saw. I visited Scotland many years ago and loved it especially the Highlands. Thank you for taking me back to those memories. I look forward to seeing your next adventure. Love it especially when you hike in the UK. How about walking along the coast of Cornwall. There are many little villages to visit and eat in 😀 Whatever you choose I know it will be wonderful for you both. ❤

    Tremendous challenge met! Thanks for taking the time to share your journey. Your videos transported me to your struggles, and how each obstacle was overcome! I know it must have been tough doing the video after those long days on the trail. Thank you! I enjoyed each video!

You have made memories that no one can take away from you both, all of your life you will remember this hike to Scotland. It was a long journey, a real testing time, Many thanks again and hope to see you back in the U K sometime. Best Wishes to both. Andrew.

    Fantastic achievement & congratulations to you both. Always remember you have to endure the rough days to fully appreciate the good ones. Those final couple of days looked particularly tough but the way you pull each other through is inspiring. Rest, recharge & on to the next adventure. Great video editing btw.

    Fantastic Achievement Guys , not many people have completed the Scottish National Trail , especially the Cape Wrath part !! The toughest trail in Britain.. Well Done . Hope you enjoyed your time in Scotland. A shame you missed the bit from Inchnadamph to Kylestrome. , one of my favourite bits for scenery and highest waterfall. Maybe you should try the Skye Trail . Amazing Scenery.

    Great job Kristina. I'm so pleased that you both achieved your goals. This is the toughest trail in the UK without a doubt and those last two or three days would not be for me. Thank-you so much for sharing your experience.
    Now; what next? Kumano Kodo in Japan? The Way of St. James in Spain? or....... The little old Britain??
    Happy Trails, Pete

    Great film and achievement, Ben and Christina. I walked from John O’Groats to Ullapool years ago, before the CWT had a name, and It was the best thing I ever did, lots of memories. You might be interested in a book, ‘Landlines’, by Raynor Winn, her account of walking the CRT with her husband, as he was suffering from a terminal degenerative disease. They started at the lighthouse and walked south, then did the WHW and continued all the way to Cornwall. Her husbands condition improved dramatically along the way.

    Well done Christina and Ben, what an achievement! We’ve waited every day for your videos and although we’ve done many long distance walks we would never manage what you have done. Our favourite walk was Tour of the Lake District, 93 miles round the lakes-views are amazing.
    Enjoy your rest and start planning your next trip.

    I love long distance walks although I am more in the few weeks to a maximum of 2 months due to to work. I have a suggestion for you, instead of another long A-B walk (although I still recommend Pyrenees GR10) climbing all the wainrights in the Lake District might be a fun alternative. Different scenery and different bases. It is something that I have in mind in the next few years.

    Amazing experience, Christina, a long walk indeed. And some typically Scottish weather on the final day. So glad you got lucky with accommodation in Durness, a hot shower washes away a lot of the misery of boggy ground and helps polish the great memories of your adventure. There is so much in the world to discover, but I do hope you choose return again to God’s own wee country soon. Best regards.

    I just today heard of this trail & it was suggested I view your channel. Very informative. The Scottish National Trail reminds me of The Ireland Way.
    How did you reach the Start point and how did you return home from the End point?
    I'm very interested in the logistics of Coming & Going.

    • @hikersheep
      @hikersheep  4 місяці тому

      Hii!! Thanks for watching!! It was such an amazing adventure. You must do it! To get there, we flew from Dallas, Texas to Edinburgh. The next day, we took buses and train to Kirk Yetholm....it was sooo long and complicated. I used Google map to tell me which bus and train to take.
      Getting back to Edinburgh from Cape Wrath Lighthouse is even more complicated but I've done it before so I was already familiar. You either walk 13 miles or take Cape Wrath Minibus (if it's running or have space for you) to the Kyle of Durness. Take a ferry over the Kyle of Durness (if it's running....if not, you'll have to walk around the kyle on land to Durness. From Durness, take the 801 bus to Inverness. Then train to Edimburgh. Woahhhh

    Scotland doesn’t mess around! The Cape Wrath should be called a overland journey instead of a trail. I don’t know how you knew where you were going. And looking out for red flags? I’d probably be dead or stuck for eternity in some bog. Way to go! Scotland isn’t for wusses! 🎉🎉🎉
