Hi Becky, as an older person, I love you doing your kit review, in the 80's the Cape was a three man, three weeks job, done in August six weeks school holiday, kit list, Clothing, whatever you have. Sleeping, a two man canvas ridge tent (sleeps three). Navigation, maps and compass, (no sat nav, GPS, mobile phone). Food, rubbish and not very interesting, no dried meals, energy bars, corned beef, onions and carrots keep well but heavy, That's why we never went solo, As now in mid 50's, I envy the kit available and wish you many happy travels with it, Stay safe my friend, N, 👍👍☕☕❤
You might want to visit some of the glens or beaches Scotland has to offer on your trips out. My most favorite is on the north west coast. The Beach area is called Oldshoremore and has not one but two beach areas. We as a family would go here in the 70's for a holiday (still don't know how found this place) and it then took me over forty years to return but return there I did. So many youngsters have internet and package holidays. I really like your out door love of life. I did Sky in car with a Teardrop caravan I finished building and it was awesome. Sorry but my days for rucksack camping is over. You on the other hand keep going and may others follow.
Hello lovely.. Just make sure you travel as light as you can. Food in tins are heavy so i take mine in plastic zipper bags as this then keep things flat in the Ruck-sack. I make up cotton wool mixed with Vaseline this is so easy and will light an open easy. Regards Mick x
a tip when eating from the freeze dried MRE bags how you said you need the longer spork because they are deep bags well put the bag on it's side and cut it open with a pen knife it becomes more like a shallow bowl than a deep bag that way
I've seen a lot of suggestions from people that don't like to do that, because then they can reseal the bag and use it as a rubbish bag for that meal (E.g. any other wrappers, tea bags, wipes) and it keeps the food smells in as well so no danger of attracting wildlife before you get a chance to dispose of your rubbish properly.
You could always ask fishermen at ullapool or the summer isles ( old dornie) if they could drop you off at durness cape wrath area . Theres some decent guys in the area doing their lobster creels around first light ,white cap's depending 😀 ask in the fuaran bar Summer isles David last will put you in touch with somebody , ,or summer isles hotel .
as a long distance hiker, one piece of gear I was reluctant to try on the first few long trails and now I can't do without is a trekking umbrella which I actually prefer over rain pants and jacket now. The advantages are blowing rain ... no matter how protected and waterproof your gear is, rain always seems to find a way to blow into your jacket. Then from your body heat, it evaporates inside the jacket and now everything you are wearing is damp. With the trekking umbrella, you just shield your face. Also, not sure what the spiders and more specifically spider webs are like there this time of year, but in the states where I hike, an umbrella is great to have out even when its not raining just to knock the spider webs down before your face eats them lol ... the spiders here are bad and after you walk into 100 spider webs within the first 100 feet of leaving camp in the morning, you really appreciate a trekking umbrella (which uses a lot less energy than swinging trekking poles to knock them down). One final thing, a trekking umbrella can also be used to shield rain at night on a tent if you wish to keep the vestibule open for better airflow
@@andrewbrockman8538 interesting, I've been on mountain tops, not be choice, during storms above treeline and had 65+ mph wind gusts without issues. The one I use is called a "Swing Trek Liteflex Trek Umbrella" and its not like a regular umbrella you would use walking down a street.
@@andrewbrockman8538 over the years, ive found so many uses for them. Ive had the same umbrella since 2016 and its seen many short weekend and long hikes (ive done 2 over 300 miles each since then). I was in a dry section of trail once and left it outside so the handle was pointing upward because they were forecasting rain. Sure enough it rained very lightly for about an hour but the umbrella collected a couple liters of water. Also great to sheild the sun during road walks.
@@andrewbrockman8538 Wow, I should have known on my Cape Wrath Trail trip. But I didn't. My umbrella either. So it worked pretty well. Unfortunately I lost it on my way to Shenavall Bothy (dropped from my backpack). By the way: it was a Swing Handsfree. Loved it.😍
Absolutely love your vlogs, you should really link this one on the Walkinghighlands CWT page, along with Hounds of Howgate yours is honestly one the best out there, really well done and thankyou, its inspiring!
Excellent, I have this pencilled in for next spring so will be interested to see how your trip went! You're not the only one I've seen who's emphasised waterproofing redundancy for this one haha. Fingers crossed the weather held out for you! (lol it's Scotland)
Nice kit load out Becky hope the trip went well I'm looking forward to seeing the video's as I've watched a few people doing it this year atvb jimmy 😎😎👍
coping with the long dark nights could be an issue. I would take a mini tent light. It shouldn't weigh more than a few grams, something like the Nite-Ize-Moonlit-Micro-Lantern. and the means to listen to some music or the radio. Reception is patchy but its nice to hear a human voice sometimes when you're alone in the wilds. good luck
Nicely thought out gear list 👍 well sorted. Sorry if I missed it but did you include these items - pillow,tick key (for removing ticks),mattress repair kit,knife. I think the sawyer squeeze might be worth the small extra weight over the mini for the better flow rate plus you could it better as a gravity filter.Maybe a few Esbit tablets and mini Esbit stove is worth taking as a back up? I’m excited for you,I’d love to do that trail one day,all the best 👍
I've done it so feel qualified to offer advice....a little anyway. Bin the gaiters. As you say, you might get soaked and it's so boggy in places gaiters aren't gonna help but add weight. You're in Scotland's mountains not farm land so bin the water filter as well. I've been hiking for 40 yrs and havent had an issue yet. You shouldn't need a sack bigger than 45l so cut the weight again as you already know you can restock. Bin the rucksack cover. Why do you want that when everything is already in dry bags? Oh, and don't miss out Torridon by doing the alternative. You're always on a path throughout the trail of sorts it's just not marked. Best bit for me was a wild camp in Barrisdale bay among the otters. You'll love it when it's done but it's a slog at times. I look forward to your blog. All the best. Oh PS don't wear boots. Too heavy and hiking shoes dry quicker as well anyway.
Gaiters are essential. If you get a decent pair and fit them right they keep and awful lot of water off, especially off trail through deep growth. Also good defence against ticks etc
When are you going? The Scottish midge season is usually May-September, sometimes April-September. It’s now mid-October so you should be free of midges & might not need to carry the midge garment you showed. Also. I would think carefully about deciding not to send out re-supply boxes. If you’re not rushing, Post Office opening times might not be such a problem. I’m not certain there’ll be opportunities to restock with freeze dried meals along the trail, based on other walker’s experiences here on UA-cam.
Good pack out. Well prepared! Catching up with you on your videos. With all the snow we have been getting in the last two days, got me plenty of time to watch. Hope all is going well on your trip. If ya didn't get it I live in Willow, Alaska. Catch ya soon.
Very nice Becky, I have the same pack in 50 litre. Having the larger size is a better choice, you don't have to use the full capacity, but it's there if you need it. Easier to pack also, looking forward to seeing your experiences along the way. You are smart, not putting time constraints on your trip if you don't have to, less chance of pushing to hard, possibly leading to injury. Take care Becky, be safe and we will see you when you get the chance.
We baboons are slightly jealous. Our travel is quite limited you see. All of us here in the Baboon camp are eagerly awaiting your updates! However, enjoy your trip as much as you can without the distracting tasks for film. We really miss finding new places to chomp on some grass and hop around.
I was tempted to do that bought the books and made the initial plans but it never happened best of luck, look forward to your future uploads I did actually get to visit Cape Wrath once while holidaying on the far North Coast hope the weather stayed kind for you
Hello, Becky. How are you? I am so glad to see you are still in summer outfits. Where I am in S. Korea, This morning I can see first frost on the roof and chill wind blow in winter. Yes, we are officially in winter now. Good to see you are good. Keep it up~~~
Glad to see that you have walking poles at last. It takes around 40% of your load from your knees. When I was walking back and forward in the Sahara I would dream of interludes in The Highlands...now walking or kayaking around the West Coast, I dream of being in the Sahara again.
I had to get the fjallraven kajka 75 .for cape wrath trail fit in my nikon's.but its too warm yet need frost . Iv been given a vango krypton ul 2 to test out (msr superlite 2 without fraying bits or quality issues of my last one ) i needed a free standing tent for different ground / snow other problems associated with highland winters . Thanks for sharing spud 😀 great video .thermarest questar 0-16 down bag with brit army bivvi for waterproofing .. hate down bags in winter . But the thermarest saros Synthetic 0-18 fills a 70 l backpack
Wow! You don’t mess about Becky do you? I was thinking you might do the coast to coast but you have stepped it up a bit and given yourself a right challenge with this one,good luck! Watch out for those bloody ticks,good luck!
The Cape Wrath Trail was an awesome trip! I took my time, and did it in 20 days. The scenery just kept me from making quick ground on the hike. But don’t regret it lol. Loved it. Did it 4 years ago. I had plans on doing it again last summer, but of course, I wasn’t able to with the travel restrictions. So I’m hoping for the end of next summer. Wish you the best of luck, and REALLY looking forward to eventually watching your series on the trail!
Good on ya , nice to see got the hiking bug. Good luck with the walk, I’m preparing to do the lejog next may and can’t wait to get back into Scotland part myself.
Interesting rewatching this as i am planning on visiting the UK sometime to walk Lands End to John o Groats, but instead of doing the official route from Fort William to Inverness, past Loch Ness and then up the East side, i thought about finishing the walk from Fort William on the complete Cape Wrath trail, then North highland way from Cape Wrath across to John o Groats, seems a much more exciting route to finish
How much did you weigh in at for the trip? Seemed fairly streamlined for sure. I've got a men's version of the pack and despite coming in a tad heavy it definitely makes up for it with comfort and the easy support system, of course the first few times out I'd packed everything but the kitchen sink, but you learn quickly what not to take, lol!
Congrats on completing the Cape Wrath Trail! Looks like a good loadout. I have recently decided to lighten my pack load as well and it looks like we were thinking along similar lines. I just bought the Osprey Kestrel 58L Backpack, A zero degree Enlightened Equipment Conundrum down sleeping bag, the Big Agnes McKinnis down Sleeping Bag Liner and a Toaks titanium cooking pot. Thanks for sharing.
Hello Becky,greetings from Northern California. Thank you for sharing this informative video. You always do a great job of filming and narrating. I wish you all the best for your good health and safety. Be safe out there. 🤗
Vid was over and I looked down and my bowl of oatmeal was gone, last Id seen it was full, I ate it while in a trance apparently, hypnotized by your voice!
Beautiful recordings of the nature there in this one, and your loadout is perfection! The backpack is amazing, albeit that its a top filler. My Raid Pack MK3 is the same way, i am thinking of upgrading to the newer model wich have a main compartment that can sipped open completely wich is nice! Thanks for sharing your gear and stay save!
Good luck on your travels Becky and remember to look after your feet...that is some long trail so I hope the weather is kind to you.I look forward to the video of this journey as I've never been that far north before....stay safe beautiful lady!
Hi Becky, as an older person, I love you doing your kit review, in the 80's the Cape was a three man, three weeks job, done in August six weeks school holiday, kit list,
Clothing, whatever you have.
Sleeping, a two man canvas ridge tent (sleeps three).
Navigation, maps and compass, (no sat nav, GPS, mobile phone).
Food, rubbish and not very interesting, no dried meals, energy bars, corned beef, onions and carrots keep well but heavy,
That's why we never went solo,
As now in mid 50's, I envy the kit available and wish you many happy travels with it,
Stay safe my friend, N, 👍👍☕☕❤
You might want to visit some of the glens or beaches Scotland has to offer on your trips out. My most favorite is on the north west coast.

Hello lovely.. Just make sure you travel as light as you can. Food in tins are heavy so i take mine in plastic zipper bags as this then keep things flat in the Ruck-sack. I make up cotton wool mixed with Vaseline this is so easy and will light an open easy. Regards Mick x
a tip when eating from the freeze dried MRE bags how you said you need the longer spork because they are deep bags well put the bag on it's side and cut it open with a pen knife it becomes more like a shallow bowl than a deep bag that way
That's a great tip ! 😁
Yes I packed a longer spork :) gotta have it! Thank youu
I've seen a lot of suggestions from people that don't like to do that, because then they can reseal the bag and use it as a rubbish bag for that meal (E.g. any other wrappers, tea bags, wipes) and it keeps the food smells in as well so no danger of attracting wildlife before you get a chance to dispose of your rubbish properly.
Nice "Bits and Bobs". Always nice to have someone's opinion too.
Keep smiling, young lady.
Ohhh, it is fantastic and I wish you good luck ....
Great vid. Thinking of doing the WHW next year and then tackling the CWT in 2023.
Looking forward to your walk, best of luck Becky
Nice 2 see u again bex
Great to see you so well equipped; fantastic to follow you on this incredible hiking experience!
looking forward to hearing what you would change, gear wise. perhaps an after trip gear check video? 😉
Nice one Becky welcome back to our beautiful country hope all goes well on your trip stay safe, take care
Good luck! 👍💓✨
Be safe kidder! Love, Peace and Awareness precious spirit!

Umbrellas just won't work in Scotland. It's far too windy, it would be inside out in seconds.

Hazey did that trail not too long ago. Hope you have a good time.
would suggest you try and lighten your pack further if you can - hardest trail in UK
good luck - sure you will do great
Very informative 👍
