Thanks, everyone, for watching this video. You can see part 1 here: ua-cam.com/video/vJuPKXFTSWc/v-deo.html Also, a freakishly high amount of people are asking about my Bum Bag, so I thought it best to capitalise and make my first million from this Affiliate Link: geni.us/Seral7 and whilst I am pushing my luck, here is a link to my 2022 Photography Calendar, still available: thomasheaton.co.uk/product/2022-calendar/
Most people don't appreciate enough the fact that every shot that Heaton shows up walking far away, he had to set the camera, walk, and then go back to get the gear.
Same here, but yeah the lens just wanted to cuddle after being left behind for looking after the "lost" tripod. Taking strength of gear serious, in the bumbag I couldn't see any separation or even a cloth between the lens or the body.. But it seems all of the gear survived the trip and after all the marks on the gear are memories of the trip. :-)
Even if the first 5 minutes you hit a point that I often swear by. Bad boots can make a hike all that worse if you dont have the correct footware. Bumbags are always helpful Thomas. (Fanny pack lol we used to call it that as kids but it seemed to have stuck with so many including myself. Still useful though lol Absolutely stunning location. Massivly jealous I must say. Omg I bet that water was freezing but refeshing! The bad step looks a bit sketchy in places. Haha We've all tried to take short cuts before and ended up in the middle of a bog or two lol. That old house shot was stunning! Omg Ive done the exact same thing before and left my tripod behind and I had a 1.5km walk back to get it. Never will I make that same mistake twice. Really nice pace to this video. I need to learn slow down in my videos a bit. Great video Thomas. Thank you for sharing!
First, this is why I still watch this channel after all these years: outdoor adventure and exploration. Second, the images are usually a treat and this crop was especially. Highly enjoyable for all concerned and thanks also to Murray for partnering in the adventure!
I thought at first when you were using the pink spongy towel you were going to end up with a pink rinse lol. Seriously though Thomas this was an outstanding mini-series and Murray, summed it well at the end and that is you delivered an array of stunning images that weren't Skye's honeypot images. You and Murray owned this adventure from the start and that to me is why this is a stand out piece of work. Well done to the both of you 👏 👏
Tom, I'm always amazed at how you can pull a nice image out of nothing. The trees image at 26:07 is a perfect example. That's why I enjoy your videos so much. It makes me think, "if he can do it, I can do it". I just need to get out there and try.
What more can one say about Thomas Heaton.....this is one of the most authentic landscape photography channels on youtube. Thomas and Adam Gibbs are the very best!!!!
Thomas & Murray .... What a pretty fantastic duo to say the least. Great to see the Two together on an adventure. Brilliant just brilliant. Thks lads ☘️
The pine trees shot is absolutely amazing! Goes to show that most of the times the most important thing in landscape photography is to be there! Thanks for sharing!
Love bum bags! I first used one in the Pyrenees in 1980. I was staying in an hotel and the bum bag held waterproofs and food, all I needed each day. So much easier to carry and much more comfortable than a rucksack in hot weather. Of course I wasn't carrying 2 pro cameras and lenses, just an OM2 and a single zoom round my neck... Bur I've been using bum bags ever since.
You are my absolute favorite photographer on YT and videos like these are why. Your style, lack of bravado or attempted drama, and of course your amazing photography, make your videos an absolute joy to watch. Keep doing what you're doing sir!
We’ve just spent the last icy cold morning of our Christmas vacation lying in bed with warm Espressos watching both your Isle of Skye videos. What a great journey. We enjoyed it very immensely. It has given us a great impetus to also document the Southern Gulf Islands of British Columbia, Canada when we retire there in the next couple of years.
So many photo's in this that are spectacular. The pine trees and the earlier mountain shots as you were returning from your tripod journey. Just incredible.
Quality video again, fit for mainstream channels. You should approach the BBC. It’s about time we had a dedicated 30 minute series of episodes which are photography based, there are arguable too many walking series which lack a little purpose.
Absolutely the best ‘landscape photography video’ I’ve seen. Have you seen the video by mountain biker Danny Macaskill called ‘The Ridge’ shot on Skye ? I’m sure you’d like it with the scenery and music Thomas!
Being from Jamaica, I died a little when I saw you jump on the water. Anything under 30° is suicide 😁. Man this is a classic. What a beautiful part of the world. Also, it's funny how much your accent changes the more excited you get. Love this channel man, love your work.
Tom....thank you for sharing your wit and adventures with the world. You are a grand inspiration for all who have followed you. Your storytelling is mesmerizing as time seems to stand still while you sew your words into a humorous and visual tale. While the last several months have been a tough go for the world you have been definitely given hope to all and made do with what you had. As an old story goes, "you have made a silk purse out of a sow's ear". May God bless you in your travels.
Wow so enjoyed your trip Thomas, and Murray along with you too, l love his videos. Yep l wear a bumbag too, as well as a rucksack, so handy. It's going to be hard to better that adventure, maybe a trip to St Kilda ? 🙂 Thank you for all the lovely photography and info. Take care Alioban x
This may be your best video yet - too many superlatives to mention. The hike, the images, the food, the scenery, the commentary. Loved it all, though the Bad Step made me nervous.
I tell myself to slow down and slow down, but some of my best memories are the ones where I am chasing some last bit of light in the mountains. Glad you found some on your trek Thomas and glad you brought us along.
That house used to be a mountain bothy offering free overnight stays for hikers, slept there numerous times before some years back the roof was damaged in a storm and the owner boarded it up and retired it. The army built another bothy nearby but it's not a patch on the old one.
Needed something to watch whilst I was taking a soak in the bath and it did not disappoint. Thoroughly enjoyed the video, probably the best video I’ve seen on UA-cam in a while.
Just for reference, your "not much in the way of views" five mile walk is gorgeous and definitely head and shoulders above ANYTHING within 300 - 500 miles of where I live (deep south USA)! 🙂
Terrific opening. Well written. Well said. Me, I'd still be back at the pub saying something like, "I stayed for the people pictures." Thanks for the journey.
Epic ! I spent a lot of time scuba diving Skye in the late 70's, and getting into all sorts of trouble with the weather, but the memories are still solid of such a brilliant place. Thanks for bringing back the memories !!!
That was a great adventure to watch Thomas! YOu had a great companion to share the journey. I regularly watch Murray's VLOGS, love them. Hope to return to Skye in the next few years. But if I don't, I've got your VLOG and Murray to watch. Cheers. Hope you have a good rest after that!
Gude on ye both, (Trying to put on Murray's accent). I watched Murray's video of Ben Nevis a couple of days ago and he is a better man than me! Scary stuff! What you guys did in this video is more up my alley. Another great video Tom. You never fail to entertain and produce unique videos. Thanks to you both.
Thomas is back! I have so enjoyed this series and it felt like being there with you (minus the midges). I loved your enthusiasm and the photography. Now I remember why I have been watching you for years.
I've really enjoyed watching you hike across Skye, and seeing your pix, but the Bad Step? I'd be turning back and heading home 😲 Just watching you do it make me shiver.

Thanks a bunch Tom!!! It was great meeting you and Murray. Love the images from the trip, the backlit tree image was beautiful!
Top man for giving them both a lift.
Most anxious bit of this video? Not the Bad Step. No, it was the lens in the grass at 11:30 with no rear cap that was making me sweat.
Me too ....it'll be full o midges now ... I've been to Skye hundreds of times and it still blows me away ...
@@Jacob-64 A nice bit of midge bokeh for artistic effect.
@@RFranks I'm heading to Arasaig on Thursday I hope the wee shites are gone or at least plenty of wind 😅
Why sweat? It's a lens, just a tool. Nothing more.
Same here, but yeah the lens just wanted to cuddle after being left behind for looking after the "lost" tripod. Taking strength of gear serious, in the bumbag I couldn't see any separation or even a cloth between the lens or the body.. But it seems all of the gear survived the trip and after all the marks on the gear are memories of the trip. :-)
@Thomas and @Scotlands Mountains awesome !
People binge watch Netflix, etc. but I binge watch Thomas Heaton and his adventures.
Even if the first 5 minutes you hit a point that I often swear by. Bad boots can make a hike all that worse if you dont have the correct footware. Bumbags are always helpful Thomas.

so perfect and beautiful
Really great video! More like this pls! Well Done.
This series might be your 2 best videos ever.
The Best two videos on this channel !!! Love it !!!
First, this is why I still watch this channel after all these years: outdoor adventure and exploration. Second, the images are usually a treat and this crop was especially. Highly enjoyable for all concerned and thanks also to Murray for partnering in the adventure!

Slow day at work - this video comes at the perfect time! Let me go get a fresh cup of joe
what a poetic intro
Sam and Frodo made it alive! Glorious hike, photos and challenges.
Tom, I'm always amazed at how you can pull a nice image out of nothing. The trees image at 26:07 is a perfect example. That's why I enjoy your videos so much. It makes me think, "if he can do it, I can do it". I just need to get out there and try.
What more can one say about Thomas Heaton.....this is one of the most authentic landscape photography channels on youtube. Thomas and Adam Gibbs are the very best!!!!
Murray is great. Very fun seeing you guys together again.
Part 1 & part 2, both were fantastic - Thomas Heston at his very best!
I am scratching just watching all those midges swarming around.
This is the content I like best! Long distance hike with wild camping and photography. Please more like this!
In the immortal words of Dr Dre - "n*^%%^^ trying to be the king, but the ace is back". Great film, Thomas!
Thomas & Murray .... What a pretty fantastic duo to say the least. Great to see the Two together on an adventure. Brilliant just brilliant. Thks lads ☘️
The pine trees shot is absolutely amazing! Goes to show that most of the times the most important thing in landscape photography is to be there! Thanks for sharing!
i think this is the best video of yours i have watched, absolutely brilliant
What an epic journey and photography class, thanks Thomas and Murray, the bum bag from Osprey looks great, Isle of Skye is on the bucket list.
Sometimes you have to suffer for your art. The images are what makes it worthwhile, plus the experience.
Love bum bags! I first used one in the Pyrenees in 1980. I was staying in an hotel and the bum bag held waterproofs and food, all I needed each day. So much easier to carry and much more comfortable than a rucksack in hot weather. Of course I wasn't carrying 2 pro cameras and lenses, just an OM2 and a single zoom round my neck... Bur I've been using bum bags ever since.
That extra hike in the swampy grass was worth it just for the image at 26:11. Awesome
One word.... Stunning!!!
If Murray got a bacon sandwich from the van near Torrin, I bet he spoiled it with ketchup!
What a great trip nice and thanks for taking us with you guys.
A new video AND I got my calendar today?! What could be better!
Absolutely brilliant. what a trip I'm sure. Hand held photography all the way. That's me. Once the camera is out, just keep snapping.
Beautiful scenery and photos. Plus a burger van in the middle of nowhere. Brilliant.
Also, not only are you a wonderful landscape photographer you are a brilliant cinematographer. I felt like I was watching a documentary on the tv.
You are my absolute favorite photographer on YT and videos like these are why. Your style, lack of bravado or attempted drama, and of course your amazing photography, make your videos an absolute joy to watch. Keep doing what you're doing sir!
The tree shot @26:10, stunning, a fave.
Checks in at 6... Boom Thomas has posted.. Winner
I'm a well oiled machine!
Glad to hear. So enjoy my Wednesday night Heaton Videos

That image at 26:15...absolute killer!
I love the pine tree shot. Wow what an adventure you both had. Hard work. I loved both videos.

Simply wonderful Thomas! Thanks for letting us tag along!
great stuff guys, dunno how you kept up that pace, ps.. note to all tourists, don't leave the path unless you have a murray.
Being from Jamaica, I died a little when I saw you jump on the water. Anything under 30° is suicide 😁.
Man this is a classic. What a beautiful part of the world.
Also, it's funny how much your accent changes the more excited you get.
Love this channel man, love your work.
These couple of videos are some of the best I've seen on this channel. Excellent job Thomas!
That shot of the pine trees might be the most beautiful shot I've seen on your channel!
That Pano 😍 man, this is soon becoming my favourite channel.
A truly fantastic film, well done guys and thank you for sharing it all with us! 👏😀👍
That pano shot of the house looks amazing 👏 🙌

Outstanding trip. Should be used by the Scottish Tourist Board. Great advert for Skye. Look forward to seeing all the edited photos.
This may be your best video yet - too many superlatives to mention. The hike, the images, the food, the scenery, the commentary. Loved it all, though the Bad Step made me nervous.
Well done gentlemen ! Was a fantastic journey to follow from the comfort of my couch :-) great job !!
That pine tree picture at 26:25 is breathtaking. My favorite of the adventure.
I really appreciate this hiking centric video, lovely footage and a real treat for anyone interested in hiking and photography. Top form!
That intro👌
OMG... I was relaxing and watching but I just need to comment..the pano shot @ 9:02 is just amazing....
Well done Tom and Murray, fantastic mini series and please visit Scotland again soon, the Midges think you are delicious
i gotta say your pictures blow me away
I tell myself to slow down and slow down, but some of my best memories are the ones where I am chasing some last bit of light in the mountains. Glad you found some on your trek Thomas and glad you brought us along.
The panoramic photo with the house is incredible :D I wanna do this hike too, im hyped. Thanks for the videos you took for us !
That house used to be a mountain bothy offering free overnight stays for hikers, slept there numerous times before some years back the roof was damaged in a storm and the owner boarded it up and retired it. The army built another bothy nearby but it's not a patch on the old one.
@@luddaiteThats interesting thanks.
photo at 8:53 i think
@@Panma98 aye. first went there September 2006, those chairs were sat outside back then and still there 15 years on 😂
That was quite the adventure, well done and excellent images.
We’d watched Murray’s take on this trip - delighted to find your perspective equally enthralling. And loving the painterly feel to the images.
OMg Thomas! Stellar images!
Needed something to watch whilst I was taking a soak in the bath and it did not disappoint. Thoroughly enjoyed the video, probably the best video I’ve seen on UA-cam in a while.
Phantastisch Reise und ein Geschenk euch zwei ein Stück dieses Weges virtuell zu begleiten. Thanks a lot!
These two videos from Skye have been the best I've seen for some time. Thank you for a bit of really great entertainment Thomas!
Just one word Thomas - FANTASTIC!
That was a bloody good vlog, the best. Well done and thanks.
That hike is a life goal now, thanks to you!
What an amazing trip you guys done. Always a pleasure to watch you and Murray
Just for reference, your "not much in the way of views" five mile walk is gorgeous and definitely head and shoulders above ANYTHING within 300 - 500 miles of where I live (deep south USA)! 🙂
That's why I love my Mindshift Rotation backpack for hikes.
Fantastic! Glad to see you back at it again. I really enjoy your trekking videos. The image of the pine trees was my favorite.
I've enjoyed every minute of this video series! Thank you for taking us to be part of this adventure with you!
That one with the pine trees is amazing!
Brilliant adventure truly enjoyed the two part video.
The lone house hand held pano turned out great! Haven't even thought of doing hand-held pano. Well worth the experiment!
Terrific opening. Well written. Well said. Me, I'd still be back at the pub saying something like, "I stayed for the people pictures." Thanks for the journey.
Epic ! I spent a lot of time scuba diving Skye in the late 70's, and getting into all sorts of trouble with the weather, but the memories are still solid of such a brilliant place. Thanks for bringing back the memories !!!
Loved the series should be sponsored by The Scottish Tourist Board…stunning scenery despite the midge.
Total joy from start to finish - well done Thomas and Murray!
Your videos are a joy to watch with my morning coffee. Thank you.
Wonderful wonderful wonderful, thank you so much 😊
love you thomas, you always inspire me.
Oooooo that pines shot
That was a great adventure to watch Thomas! YOu had a great companion to share the journey. I regularly watch Murray's VLOGS, love them. Hope to return to Skye in the next few years. But if I don't, I've got your VLOG and Murray to watch. Cheers. Hope you have a good rest after that!
Awesome bog sloggin’, firm bashin’ yomp. 😉👍. Oh, some photography too. 😁

I am so glad I am 66 years old because never would I even consider walking that trip but as you said, "what an adventure"! Good for you both.
I've really enjoyed watching you hike across Skye, and seeing your pix, but the Bad Step? I'd be turning back and heading home 😲 Just watching you do it make me shiver.
Great journey! Thanks to both of you guys!
