    This brings back so many memories. We did the Outer Hebrides from North to South in our camper over about 16 days. It was in late May 2018 and the weather was hot and sunny for the whole time and we couldn't get over the white beaches, blue skies and the turquoise seas.
    We kept bumping into various people we had spoken to on the boat from Ullapool and a couple of them even caught the same boat as us back to Oban.
    We very rarely saw anyone on the big beaches, it was normally just us and our dogs with maybe another dog walker. The one exception was on South Uist were we pulled up about as far away from the road as we could, were just making dinner and a knob in a big RV parked about 5 yards away and blocked our view of the sea when he could have parked anywhere on about 5 acres of perfect flat land.

    Another great video. Best thing I ever did was get rid of my house so i own nothing. Got a caravan in 2015 and decided to travel. It was the best feeling, was away in Anglesey for a month, packed up a few bits from my house that fitted into 2 boxes and stored under my caravan bed. Gave house key to neighbours and said to let people help themselves. Got back and everything had gone, furniture, cooker, freezer and even carpets. Went to Hebridies and travelled UK for 5 years, the did a massive road trip through Spain and over to Tenerife on ferry. Been living here in caravan and working remotely for 3 years and never want to leave. Now a Spanish resident.

Great place to explore, like a small village inside the castle with its own houses around the edge of a garden inside the castle walls.

    Greetings Becky! Congratulations on another adventure!
    I commented on another post of yours.
    As for the feet, I learned a lot by trekking. For example, to avoid blisters, wear two socks, one thin and one thick. Apply a lot of Vaseline to your feet before walking. Also try walking in sandals. Keep your feet dry. Because blisters can be your worst nightmare while hiking. Big hug and I wish you great trails.❤

    It's really interesting seeing the route from a walking perspective and I can absolutely relate to the heat! We had the heat for a few days and it changed overnight when we had reached the Butt of Lewis. We'd had a headwind and nice weather all week but then as soon as we turned around to come back again the wind swung around to a headwind again. Although I have to say the cycling route does spend a fair amount of time on A-roads so it's nice to see the walking route taking a more remote path. Know exactly the feeling when your camera screen smashed because when I got to the Hebrides my Garmin died and then I smashed my phone screen so I think the islands just don't like too much electronic equipment. 😊

    In a good day you can see St Kilda from Benbecula (Beinn na Faoghla) and North Uist
    ( Uibhist a Tuath) , 40 miles out in the Atlantic and if you're feeling adventurous you can
    take a boat trip there from Leverburgh, Harris. Sea Harris is the boat company and they'll
    take you to the double world heritage site in 3 hrs where you'll pass the sea stacks, bird
    colonies and the spectacular abandoned island of Hirta where an old church and school
    house remain. Whatever you do, I hope you have a wonderful time.
    PS: I recommend Langass Lodge in N Uist for a good meal and visit the nearby stone circles.

    Hey Becky. You mention the heat there. What is considered "hot" there? Asking from a position of camping in temps of mid to upper 90's with 105 degree heat indexes. Fahrenheit here of course. Hate to hear about your camera. Hope you get it fixed or replaced soon! I fully understand the necessity to video for channels, etc. this day and age, and do myself also. But one of the better pack trips I made was a section of the Appalachian Trail, dropped and broke the camera right off, first mile or so. Best trip ever as I was unencumbered by the trappings and was able to stand and drink in the sights and fully absorb into memory. No gadgetry to take the attention away.

    Hi, you're a natural at making these trip videos! Sorry to see the camera damage incident, ooops. 😆
    I see from one of your other videos that you used to be a competitive cyclist. I wonder if you have ever explored bikepacking? Takes all the strain off your back and feet (which got beaten up here) as the bike carries the load, and it also means you can cover far more ground. I like to do it on a fat bike with 4" tyres and this can roll almost anywhere that you can walk - including a lot of sand, snow and soft mud surfaces. I prefer a more traditional rack and pannier setup with the majority of the weight low on the bike as opposed to the current trend of bikepacking bags high up which do have some advantages but also many limitations.
    Some channels that explore this:
    ua-cam.com/users/forestyforest

    See what you think.
