What a beautiful and truly inspiring set of videos! I've recently watched your Cape Wrath series and enjoyed every minute of them all. I love the way you were so resilient and undaunted by the challenges you must have faced on such a long and lonely hike. There must be many moments and situations which would make many people give up, but you kept on keeping on, ever smiling... You seem very sociable and outgoing, yet also very content with your own company - a rare thing indeed! The way you have presented your videos mostly "as filmed" without being given a "tourist gloss" makes them very accessible and even draws us in, as though we were walking alongside you. If anyone considering walking the Cape Wrath Trail is undecided about whether to do so, then your videos are more than adequate to help them make up their mind that they can do it! I share your passion for the Scottish Highlands - no other place I've been to has such a pull on my soul. Keep up the good work of inspiring others to get outdoors and connect with nature and reconnect with themselves!
Thanks- one thing I found useful when camping You can buy 50 or so empty ‘boil in the bag’ bags for only 2-3 quid from kitchen shops like Lakeland or online . I put individual portions of porridge, raisins etc in each one and add a couple of scoops of Marvel. Just pour in the hot water straight from the stove. They weigh nothing This way you know at a glance how many breakfasts for each day of the trip you have left. More importantly you can have milky porridge without accidentally spilling a large bag of everywhere, or having to scrap/clean any pot.
Yes I’ve been snarled by the Bog Monster on a few occasions, the slimy beast within puts up a good battle to swallow first your legs, then your body and finally your head. I’ve had to beat the monster into submission with my pacer poles too.
Same but I was lucky I dropped straight down but my pack save me from going further, swamp area on ex, weight of pack was 45 plus kgs, got towed out and called every called every name under the sun. Was still shaking hrs later, it does sap your strength. Good on you 4 handling. All the best. Had 2 share. Ps this is in newzealand. God bless.

I watched your fantastic trail video's also in January 2025, and i love the way you tel your story of an amazing hick. I have also watched your video's Silkroad racing and your adventure on Iceland. Your video's are amazing, you mention not only the beauty of the outdoors live but also the hardship. The way you cope this is an inspiration for everybody. You are a adorabel personality .
Nice to watch about Cap Wrath. I went to UK in 2018, first in Corwall and then, step by to step to Scotland, hiking, biking, running and canoeing. Cap Wrath is a kind of mythic place and I wanted to do it by kayaking despite people saying to me that it was dangerous. So I got a very good 3 days weather opportunity to do it from South to North, camping on beach. But unfortunately I lost the key of my car-roof where I put my paddles!! I found it at the end of the first day and said bye-bye to my 3 days kayaking trip. But I started the trip from the North and did half of the way in round trip. I can say that the water is very very cold there, the currents stron,and the landscape very wild. Nobody on the way. Next day the weather changed and I could have seen what Wrath means... from the shore. In your video I have learnt how I can call the big holes we can find on the wet terrain, somehow dangerous: bogs which you have tested with your poles )) I watch with pleasure that you don't skimp your gear and have a pretty heavy backpack, better for your comfort and your security. So do I, regardless the lightweiht fashion. Best regard, Dundjack (France)
I’ve been picked up by some wondrously individual characters over the years and had the pleasure of picking up some wondrous characters too. You were one of those Girl Oiutdoors; so inspirational to listen to your stories of adventures had and adventures still to come. Many thanks for joining us and signing my SCC jersey and my precious, no not the ring of doom; but my bike. Looking forward to more tales of derring do and adventure. All the very best and a most wondrous Fesrive season. X X X
Something I got taught by an ex RMC was to empty the bottle of talcum powder into a dry bag that’s big enough for you to put your foot in. Then when you need to talc your feet you just stick them in the bag and it just makes it easier to get between your toes and everything without it going everywhere. x
Watched all the episodes from beginning to end, really enjoyed watching and how funny you are at times ie : the Swedish guy from Switzerland? Lol and the dodgy cows from around where you live: the black and white ones?lol and also the way you would say this is the right way? I think it's the right way lol you should be so proud of what you achieved!! All the very best in your next adventure 👍🏴
very nice summary and reflection upon what seems to have been an excellent trip for you. happy feet can go a long way to making any walking trip a pleasure. :) well done.
It’s been great to watch your adventure, I’ve especially enjoyed seeing the younger folks taking up such challenges. I did the CWT in 93 before it was widely known. Now my adventures are of a more vicarious nature, thank you for allowing me that pleasure. And we’ll done you !!!!!!!!!!!!
Es macht Spaß, dir zuzusehen bei all deinen Touren. Danke für die "Nachlese" und die Einblicke! Mir gefällt, wie authentisch und unprätentiös du bist. Freue mich auf weitere schöne Videos von dir
The sawyer squeeze (not mini) has a better flow rate, and use 2 cnoc bags and hang one on your bag as you walk. There's a connector you can buy that joins the two together so the exit end of the filter has the blue bag attached and the end that attaches to your bottle has the "dirty" water bag attached. I use an orange coloured to hold dirty and blue for the filter. So I attach the orange to my bag and dander as it filters into the blue bag.
Great video. So glad to see you made it back safe and sound. That was an incredible trip and loved all the views and photos. You are an incredibly determined person and I knew you would make it. Enjoyed seeing what gear you took and being honest about what you thought about it. Don't worry about talking to long, I for one love to hear you talk. Looking forward to your next video. Stay safe and healthy.
Nice one, just realised you uploaded this too. Great work and good tips. Many thanks, take care and look forward to future adventures in great locations.
This was an incredible adventure. Thank you for taking all of us along with you. Much appreciated. You are so beautiful. Love and blessings from Ontario Canada!
Great stuff...Thanks for the info 👍. Really enjoyed your trip to Cape wrath. Will be off soon myself with extra knowledge and confidence thanks to your videos.😀
Becky you are a total inspiration, your have lovely natural beauty which is so great to see( I'm so sick of seeing girls absolutely caked in make up with fake nails and pumped up lips etc), love watching your videos its encouraging me to hike/walk.
Well done on completing your trek, I really enjoyed the series, it brought back quite a few memories as you passed through a lot of very familiar territory that I am very unlikely to visit ever again for various reasons. Gear lists are interesting things. The usual weight of my gear back in the 80's 90's for spring through autumn was around 12 kilos all in, including food for around 3 days or so. No camera, phone, walking poles or electronics. Honed everything to a bare minimum over time. Saunders jetpacker tent, Condor rucksack (65 litres is all you need) down bag w 600 grms fill, opinel, spoon, map, compass, whistle, sigg bottle, edilrid scorpion, stove, pot, karrimat and a family size pack of chocolate homewheat biscuits, and you could go anywhere in the hills. I still have most of the gear, but not the biscuits, they're long gone. I actually went and looked my gear out after the second episode, touched it a bit, then stuck back in the box where it resides. The last time I used that old tent in some heavy Scottish weather it leaked like a sieve with the horizontal rain.
just watched ur vid full of good information and ideas for anyone thinking of doing the trail.watched allure vids as well Brill thanks Nick's for shareing 🤘all the best
It’s a big learning curve to strip out the unnecessary weight and items but that comes with experience and research. Kit has greatly lightened over the last several decades, love the Altras too! Hope to see you do a similar distance path next year, keep up the great work Becky! ❤️
Watched every episode and it was amazing 🤩 or as you would say lush 😝😁💯👌🏽 Would love to see you do some biking packing trips 💃🕺🏽👍🏽 all the best with your next adventure Ciao ✌🏽
Wow! Thank you for your really good work! Nice video! I look forward to hike the CWT in february. This year I hiked the WHW and a few stages further in january. Best regards from germany Marco :)
Fantastic video (that was paused more times than I care to admit to add to my Amazon shopping list for my forthcoming similar trip). Loved the information you provided and look forward to more videos after recently subscribing !
I’m an old boy… ish.. I used to stay out for days in Scotland since I was a boy around 11 years old around 1971 ish and B4 I even knew what a tent or a sleep bag was. (I did know the midges could always be there though 😂). Anyway done lots since then 😊 Watched all your videos and thank you for bringing a great smile to me and clearly lots of others. Your parents clearly done a great job, but of course .. You are the bomb 💣 in all of this. Cracking videos and many happy returns. 👍
Wonderful rap up Becky. I don't feel like you can talk to much, I love your voice. On the Kendall's mint cake, not sure how long they have been around, but I'm sure I was eating them in the mid sixties while hiking. On foot ware, you must have what will work for YOU, regardless what anyone else will tell you---without your feet you are going nowhere. Hoping you have a wonderful fall/winter season with lots of camping to share with us. I have loved all of your videos so far Becky, keep them coming.
Cape wrath trail cant believe the miles you put in . beautiful place Scotland is for scenery and terrain .the memory's you will have and friends you have meet on the trail you never will for get Since your back home now hope you been resting up as not before long you be away again loved the video very interesting. Just great
Great idea to post what worked well & any regrets regarding kit etc so that people can benefit from your experience. As I commented before I am full of admiration for you, a young girl carrying that weighty pack over all that distance, ascents & rough terrain & dealing with the mental challenges which that brings which can sometimes outweigh the physical demands. Loved the series Becks & will always follow your new adventures xx
You did such a great job presenting your trip and I still mis coming home to a new installment of your adventure. I bet you really missed being on-trail as well and probably went through some depression going home since it becomes a life style, (at least I do at the end of my trips so, sorry for being presumptuous if that's not so). You are so skilled at documenting your journey and enable your viewers to really feel like they are tagging along. You are unpretentious and maintain your poise, staying on-task to get the job done despite the adversities you encountered. This de-briefing is really important and interesting as well. SUPER JOB, GIRL OUTDOORS, and Thank You for bringing so many of us the beauty and joy of your journey!!!
A great video summing up your trip! :) You asked for suggestions at the end of the video. How about you go to Stone Hedge, and see how close you can camp to it?!
Kiora bexs , thank u 4 sharing your journey with us all. U r a courageous person with a bright outlook on life, I wish you and your family a happy up coming Xmas.
Thanks for going through this, it's on my to do list for 2022. I walked the 800km Camino de Santiago this year, you should do that! Sadly, you can't camp but you do stay in Albergues and hostals with other 'peregrinos' and is a magical experience. You'd LOVE it! Thanks again, hope to see more videos soon 😁
Your Cape Wrath Trail video adventure was extra outstanding and wonderfully done. Scotland is a beautiful place. It is better to have it and not need it than not have and need it. Good planning is key to a successful trip and you planned very well then next time you will know just what you will need. Noticed you have 117K subscribers now. Even this video is well put together and noticed your set up close to the relief station. Crack on and have a wonderful day.
Thank you for sharing this!! I am seriously considering taking on this walk in a couple months come May, and watching this just makes me extra excited and feeling more mentally prepared 🥰🙏🏻 Loved all your videos from the trail!
I caught Lymes in Scotland. I've been in the Highlands since 1984 and had loads of ticks but never Lymes. This time it was really itchy and I had the tell tale bullseye rash. Within 2 weeks I was feeling shit. Constant headaches, dizzy spells, faint. Went to doctor and went straight on antibiotics. After that I was fine. That's my experience. Now I use Permethrin on my clothing and repellent on my body. Don't let it stop you enjoying the wilderness, just take precautions.
AWESOME B ECK'S proud blue tent ..cool my eyes never went weird in the mornings with my old karrimor , (spent 8 months in it highlands ) orange insides play with your vision . weight my nikon gear weiged 6kg without filters and pod .midges.. the Scott's put me onto skin so soft , really worked too. cheaper than bug sprays .. you can smother yourself in it or be frugal it works and works well ..i found anything down suffered ( anyone doing extreme hikes knows) down is out ! unless its test gear .. you can dump it eventually as newer naterials come along , fantastic videos ..Becks ..im sticking to photos ( having a face for radio ) 😀 remember WET IS YOUR FRIEND 😂😂 one other thing ... following small trails some are deer trails or sheep tracks .. and lead in circles ..or out into the wilderness . always check maps and the horizon detail .. dont think because your on a trail its fine .. if your on a single footed trail 1-2 foot wide your off your mark check it ! ! once you goal out ( finsh your mission ) anything goes getting home , theres no shame in it . im a north to.south person . it has its benefits , theres showers in ullapool.. between the outdoor shop and the ferry car park up the steps .to the left .. lockable with a dry area for gear
Doggy poo bags as shoe liners is an unbelievable tip. I have used bread bags but never thought of a roll of dog bags and I hike with them already with my dog and had them all along. Couldn't see the forest for the trees as they say. Thanks.
The tick thing still has me paranoid....only ever had one, but I was horrified when I found it 😂 Think it was seeing what has happened to Vanessa at Wild Woman Bushcraft that has done it. Some great tips in this video on what to carry mate....some really useful information for anyone thinking of this walk. Best wishes always
Hi Becky, I didn’t expect this review on CWT. What a great idea you had and really interesting to watch. It is a lot of work creating videos the way you do and especially in difficult terrain. Keep up the good work. p.s. Your face every evening when you had dinner ….. priceless !! Thank you so much for giving us the chance to follow you. You really are, where you need to be ✨
Gunny here watched your cwt vids was really pleased you didn’t throw your hand in when it was wet feet&tough going Recap is always a good thing and helps prep for next tab Keep it up in 22 Christmas greetings to you & yours👍🇬🇧👌🏻
Always good to see you again my dear friend and hope you are doing well, saw vlogs of ur hike ,quite a trek right, u must be in great shape, saw buster still wants camera time ,too funny,,ok love take care
Hi becky nice to see you again really good info on packing your rucksack I've been really struggling to get everything in my 65l.have a beautiful christmas and new year cant wait for your next expedition xx
You truly are a inspiration to young people and old alike Becky. Your channel is amazing. The journey you have been on from being 15 is incredible. May you have a wonderful career in what ever you choose to do, hopefully in the outdoor industry so you can share your experiences. Take care and have a wonderful Christmas
I got one of those massage balls (similar one, larger spikes and doesn't come apart) in a goodie bag from doing a 10K a few years ago. I was sceptical but it's really effective, I've used it when I've tweaked a calf muscle and at the moment to help my recovery from plantar fasciitis. I've been recommending your channel on Walk Highlands to a guy planning his own CWT trip and trying to decide if he should go Easter or Autumn, so this will be a big help to a lot of people.
I love your enthusiasm after doing this trail! I would love to get over to the UK or Europe. This may be at or near the top of my list for potential UK backpacking trips. I've only seen one of those huge gas cans before. On my hike of the Appalachian trail I was just south of Harpers Ferry and met a south bound hiker that was just starting out from there. He had one of those. I didn't even know they made them that big at the time. I was kind of shocked. I only used my stove for dinners and I went through exactly 3 of the 220g/8oz canisters in 5.5 months.
GO, I think the model of your Rab sleeping bag is Neutrino (new tree no); neutrogena is a company that makes skincare products that you may have. Great trip and recap. I liked how you rebounded from down times and chugged on.
Fantastic vlog Becky,you're so inspiring,congratulations on doing this trail as it couldn't have been easy.I look forward to your next hike,I wish it was tomorrow,good luck and take care,big hugs!
Great video Becky. Plenty of good information which compliments other good info available on You Tube, in numerous books and elsewhere on the Internet. As for midges, there are anti midge nets to fit over your head and even anti midge/tick clothing that lasts through over 70 washes and which can be retreated. Swiss from Switzerland❤️❤️❤️❤️
I came upon your channel quite by chance recently and really enjoyed watching your CWT adventures - you done brilliantly. A couple of questions relating to this video 1) Have you thought about waterproof socks? I used the Bridgedale one's in The Lakes a couple of weeks ago and they keep my feet dry, 2) Went into the Fjallraven shop in Ambleside to get some of those hiking leggings for men as someone else had told me how good they were and the manager said they were discontinued. Couldn't find any on line either.
What a beautiful and truly inspiring set of videos! I've recently watched your Cape Wrath series and enjoyed every minute of them all.
I love the way you were so resilient and undaunted by the challenges you must have faced on such a long and lonely hike. There must be many moments and situations which would make many people give up, but you kept on keeping on, ever smiling...
You seem very sociable and outgoing, yet also very content with your own company - a rare thing indeed!
The way you have presented your videos mostly "as filmed" without being given a "tourist gloss" makes them very accessible and even draws us in, as though we were walking alongside you.
If anyone considering walking the Cape Wrath Trail is undecided about whether to do so, then your videos are more than adequate to help them make up their mind that they can do it!
I share your passion for the Scottish Highlands - no other place I've been to has such a pull on my soul.
Keep up the good work of inspiring others to get outdoors and connect with nature and reconnect with themselves!
Thanks- one thing I found useful when camping
You can buy 50 or so empty ‘boil in the bag’ bags for only 2-3 quid from kitchen shops like Lakeland or online . I put individual portions of porridge, raisins etc in each one and add a couple of scoops of Marvel. Just pour in the hot water straight from the stove. They weigh nothing
This way you know at a glance how many breakfasts for each day of the trip you have left.
More importantly you can have milky porridge without accidentally spilling a large bag of everywhere, or having to scrap/clean any pot.
Good tip, thanks.
Yes I’ve been snarled by the Bog Monster on a few occasions, the slimy beast within puts up a good battle to swallow first your legs, then your body and finally your head. I’ve had to beat the monster into submission with my pacer poles too.
Same but I was lucky I dropped straight down but my pack save me from going further, swamp area on ex, weight of pack was 45 plus kgs, got towed out and called every called every name under the sun. Was still shaking hrs later, it does sap your strength. Good on you 4 handling. All the best. Had 2 share. Ps this is in newzealand. God bless.

Aw thank you!!
This was an amazing journey, you showed it off really well, loved watching the trip, well done on completing the whole trail
aw thanks so much!!
Watched all the episodes from beginning to end, really enjoyed watching and how funny you are at times ie : the Swedish guy from Switzerland?

Aw thank you so much Stephen! 😊😊
What a really great adventure , your videos were brilliant and you are such a welcome sight .
Congrats again for completing the trail which you inspired me to look into my first long distance hike.
Everything about your Cape wrath trail has been amazing and inspiring well done you. Epic!
Thanks a ton!
very nice summary and reflection upon what seems to have been an excellent trip for you. happy feet can go a long way to making any walking trip a pleasure. :)

That means a lot!
Es macht Spaß, dir zuzusehen bei all deinen Touren. Danke für die "Nachlese" und die Einblicke! Mir gefällt, wie authentisch und unprätentiös du bist. Freue mich auf weitere schöne Videos von dir
What an astonishing thing you have done; massive respect from North Yorkshire; you did yourself proud. Huge respect.

Really enjoyed your trip to Cape wrath. Will be off soon myself with extra knowledge and confidence thanks to your videos.😀
Really enjoyed it, I would love to do stuff like this, my knee wouldnt take it, so i love to watch your videos and live through you!

Very helpful video. Took loads of notes to help me prepare for my adventure. Thanks
Awesome! Have a great hike :)

Hi Becky,Amasing lady! Thank you so much for the walking,talking ,filming.Greatest Respect!
Your Cape Wrath Trail video adventure was extra outstanding and wonderfully done. Scotland is a beautiful place. It is better to have it and not need it than not have and need it. Good planning is key to a successful trip and you planned very well then next time you will know just what you will need. Noticed you have 117K subscribers now. Even this video is well put together and noticed your set up close to the relief station. Crack on and have a wonderful day.
Thank you for sharing this!! I am seriously considering taking on this walk in a couple months come May, and watching this just makes me extra excited and feeling more mentally prepared 🥰🙏🏻 Loved all your videos from the trail!
Awesome! Thank you so much, enjoy x
The entire cape wrath trek was a great watch Becky..looking forward to your next adventure…
Thanks so much!!
Thanks for the epic journey Becky, great tips also 👍...
Always a pleasure watching Your adventures!
That means a lot!
I caught Lymes in Scotland. I've been in the Highlands since 1984 and had loads of ticks but never Lymes. This time it was really itchy and I had the tell tale bullseye rash. Within 2 weeks I was feeling shit. Constant headaches, dizzy spells, faint. Went to doctor and went straight on antibiotics. After that I was fine. That's my experience. Now I use Permethrin on my clothing and repellent on my body. Don't let it stop you enjoying the wilderness, just take precautions.
Love every minute of the series Becky ❤👍👍👍🇵🇭
What an adventure. I cant believe how positive you were throughout the walk. So impressive . Looking forward to your next walk
Aw thank you!
You did great. Would enjoy watching you do the Appalachian trail in the US. Have a great Christmas. Stay safe and be well.
Lovely inspirational girl. thank you for sharing.
Totally inspirational ! Loved watching your journey through the Highlands, well done. There's only lands end to John o'groats left to conquer.
Thanks! That's true aha :)
AWESOME B ECK'S proud blue tent ..cool my eyes never went weird in the mornings with my old karrimor , (spent 8 months in it highlands ) orange insides play with your vision . weight my nikon gear weiged 6kg without filters and pod .midges.. the Scott's put me onto skin so soft , really worked too. cheaper than bug sprays .. you can smother yourself in it or be frugal it works and works well ..i found anything down suffered ( anyone doing extreme hikes knows) down is out ! unless its test gear .. you can dump it eventually as newer naterials come along , fantastic videos ..Becks ..im sticking to photos ( having a face for radio ) 😀 remember WET IS YOUR FRIEND 😂😂 one other thing ... following small trails some are deer trails or sheep tracks .. and lead in circles ..or out into the wilderness . always check maps and the horizon detail .. dont think because your on a trail its fine .. if your on a single footed trail 1-2 foot wide your off your mark check it ! ! once you goal out ( finsh your mission ) anything goes getting home , theres no shame in it . im a north to.south person . it has its benefits , theres showers in ullapool.. between the outdoor shop and the ferry car park up the steps .to the left .. lockable with a dry area for gear
Doggy poo bags as shoe liners is an unbelievable tip. I have used bread bags but never thought of a roll of dog bags and I hike with them already with my dog and had them all along. Couldn't see the forest for the trees as they say. Thanks.
Awesome! Thank you Cliff
Looking forward to your next adventure!
The tick thing still has me paranoid....only ever had one, but I was horrified when I found it 😂 Think it was seeing what has happened to Vanessa at Wild Woman Bushcraft that has done it. Some great tips in this video on what to carry mate....some really useful information for anyone thinking of this walk. Best wishes always
What a great video Becky, people on the trail that you come across are awesome!
I loved this series.
Brilliant debrief , Really thoughtful.
I am really looking forward to your next series 😊. Keep up the great work.
Hi Becky, I didn’t expect this review on CWT. What a great idea you had and really interesting to watch. It is a lot of work creating videos the way you do and especially in difficult terrain.
Keep up the good work.
p.s. Your face every evening when you had dinner ….. priceless !!
Thank you so much for giving us the chance to follow you.
You really are, where you need to be ✨
An amazing accomplishment. Hope you are very proud of yourself, you have every reason to be. 👍👍😀

Hi becky nice to see you again really good info on packing your rucksack I've been really struggling to get everything in my 65l.have a beautiful christmas and new year cant wait for your next expedition xx
You truly are a inspiration to young people and old alike Becky. Your channel is amazing. The journey you have been on from being 15 is incredible. May you have a wonderful career in what ever you choose to do, hopefully in the outdoor industry so you can share your experiences.
Take care and have a wonderful Christmas
I got one of those massage balls (similar one, larger spikes and doesn't come apart) in a goodie bag from doing a 10K a few years ago. I was sceptical but it's really effective, I've used it when I've tweaked a calf muscle and at the moment to help my recovery from plantar fasciitis.
I've been recommending your channel on Walk Highlands to a guy planning his own CWT trip and trying to decide if he should go Easter or Autumn, so this will be a big help to a lot of people.
ay love that! Glad it works for you :) Thank you so much!!
Great job on this overview of your hike! A nice, measured,methodical, and informational presentation, and well done on the entire series of videos.
Great vid B.
Keep on living life how life should be lived x
I love your enthusiasm after doing this trail! I would love to get over to the UK or Europe. This may be at or near the top of my list for potential UK backpacking trips.
I've only seen one of those huge gas cans before. On my hike of the Appalachian trail I was just south of Harpers Ferry and met a south bound hiker that was just starting out from there. He had one of those. I didn't even know they made them that big at the time. I was kind of shocked. I only used my stove for dinners and I went through exactly 3 of the 220g/8oz canisters in 5.5 months.
GO, I think the model of your Rab sleeping bag is Neutrino (new tree no); neutrogena is a company that makes skincare products that you may have. Great trip and recap. I liked how you rebounded from down times and chugged on.
Becky you are amazing lady. Thank You for the wonderful scenery "keep going lady.
Thank you!!
Enjoyed your adventure! And bloody well done! Get yourself to the Cairngorms!
Aw thanks so much! I need to :)
Fantastic vlog Becky,you're so inspiring,congratulations on doing this trail as it couldn't have been easy.I look forward to your next hike,I wish it was tomorrow,good luck and take care,big hugs!
This video is information from experience.
Thank you . :D
Great video Becky. Plenty of good information which compliments other good info available on You Tube, in numerous books and elsewhere on the Internet. As for midges, there are anti midge nets to fit over your head and even anti midge/tick clothing that lasts through over 70 washes and which can be retreated. Swiss from Switzerland❤️❤️❤️❤️
You’ve inspired me to do this next year. Thank you.
Well done Becky loved the whole series 👏 Please keep it up. Thank you have a wonderful Christmas 🎄 😊
I came upon your channel quite by chance recently and really enjoyed watching your CWT adventures - you done brilliantly. A couple of questions relating to this video 1) Have you thought about waterproof socks? I used the Bridgedale one's in The Lakes a couple of weeks ago and they keep my feet dry, 2) Went into the Fjallraven shop in Ambleside to get some of those hiking leggings for men as someone else had told me how good they were and the manager said they were discontinued. Couldn't find any on line either.
Awesome video Becky! Loved every minute of watching this and your journey! ❤️🤙🏽
Thanks Matt x
Hello, what an incredible journey, ive done the south pole over land twice and felt inspired by your videos well done keep going cheers
