SKYE TRAIL: Rubha Hunish Lookout Bothy & Wild Camping in the Shadow of the Trotternish Ridge

- Hello, earthlings! If you are new here, my name is Mari. Welcome to my channel! To my returning subscribers, many many thanks for coming back!
I have contemplated whether or not to publish my Skye Trail trip on UA-cam because as amazing as the great days have been, as a whole, the trip felt all over the place. I feel I have to re-do the whole trail, and I definitely will. Having said that, I finally managed to garner enough motivation to edit the footages I took and publish some content so here is my half-assed vlog 🙈…because I’m not gonna lie, I’m really struggling to find motivation these days. I want to bounce back and I figured the quickest way to do that is to just do something regardless of how half-assed it may seem. After all, when a person is lacking in motivation, a seemingly half-assed work was actually a lot of work. I apologise to you guys for being quiet the past few weeks, and a huge thanks for staying.
The Skye Trail stretches over 127 km across the Isle Of Skye. Walkhighlands described it as a challenging unofficial route aimed at experienced hillwalkers, takes in some of the very finest landscapes on this celebrated island - and indeed in the whole of the UK.
Day 1 took me to Rubha Hunish where I spent the night at the Lookout Bothy due to high winds and rain. A wild camp on the peninsula below the cliffs will have to wait for next time.
Day 2 led me to an endless hike thru sinky bog land and a naughty ninja trick to finally wild camp in the shadow of the Trotternish Ridge. Happy days!
Appreciate you guys joining me! Hope to see you again on the next one. 🙏🏼 Take care all! 💚
Great video. Around the 9 minute mark where the sheep get up - I love your reaction. My guess is that they are their b******s, if the 'sacks' had no teets on them, else they would be udders. My advice, if you are unsure, don't go attempting to milk one for your cuppa, just in case they are the former! ATB Hambo 🐏🐏🥛☕
I swear I have replied twice to this already. Where did they go? So confused… 😬
@@FunsizedEarthling the wonders of YT. I'm dying to know what you said now!!!
"don't go attempting to milk them" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for sharing beautiful video upload ... good luck
If you like pain and suffering you would recommend this route 😲. I love Skye it's such an amazing place shame you never got the weather though. Hope your well, thanks for sharing your adventure.
The weather may be terrible but the views! The views are unreal👏👏👏
Some Iovely photography again, absolutely stunning scenery.
WOW that sounded real blustery, so it must have been nice to get indoors. The span and eggs bun looked great but that wind was a video killer and it was such a shame you never got the views your hard work deserved, cheers Alan
Steak and caramelised onion sandwich sounds amazing right now 👌🥰
Good to see you toughing it out then for the "nay sayers". Top class again Mari 👍👏
Yay, I’ve been looking fwd to watching this 🤗 lol yep typical Scottish weather! But what a start to an epic adventure! Great video 👍🏻
Brought back some good memories (did this a few months ago) - the route Inland certainly looks boggy and pathless! Looking forward to the next instalment (the ridge is a pretty exposed part of the trail ! :)
Good stuff 👍

When did you do it, Murray? Heard the ridge can be quite brutal but now I actually know it for myself. I must have picked the worst week to do it so I’m thinking of doing it again. Many thanks for stopping by!! Cheers, Mari
@@FunsizedEarthling hi Mari- did it last week of August and first week of September - awesome experience :) got pretty strong winds on the ridge too 🌬🌬 looking forward to your upcoming videos from Skye :)
Enjoyed a fantastic video been there great place for camping Enjoyed watching thank you for sharing stay safe and take care.
Hey, Andrew! That’s cool..did you film your camp here? Thanks for stopping by! Mari
Love that place!! I’ll watch u later I’m number one ☝️
Hehe! Appreciate it. Hope you’re having a good night! Mari
That veggie white wine stuff looked awesome, oh and those looked like balls😂. Nice to see you get bad weather sometimes, great to see you again Mari.
Haha! I had a brain freeze, i kid you not! Are you 100 percent sure that’s what they are though, Tim?
I don’t want to agree with you on the weather comment, the up coming storm was quite brutal..it almost put me off wild camping for good! Lol.
@@FunsizedEarthling maybe they awere udders, you should give them a squeeze and see if milk comes out.
@@KuukkeliBushcraft haha! I would never! Bad advise, Tim. No. 😅
Enjoyed the video, glad you found the motivation to edit it. It's good to show things that don't go perfectly to plan, you were able to adapt and overcome, that's a positive thing to take away from the experience.
Thanks, Chris! Looking back at the videos, made me laugh how I thought this was very windy. Little did I know, the worst was yet to come. Appreciate the encouraging words..it does help when it’s coming from other people too. Hope you’re enjoying your weekend! Mari
@@FunsizedEarthling Looking forward to Part 2 now, god that makes me sound cruel... But you lived to tell the tail, so it's all good!
I like how your tent set ups always look so homely!
She’s back! Hi
Yo, Chris! Yes, I’m back..hopefully for good. Haha. How are you?
@@FunsizedEarthling good! That looked cold brrrr
How cool are you. That pack looked heavy.
Not sure about cool, Steve! To be honest, I didn’t bother weighing my pack as I know it would make me hate my silly self. Are you an ultralight backpacker? :)
Great. I camped at that bothy a while back. Good memories there. It was windy then too 😆 and clag. Well done for pushing on. And for putting up with it all. Still smiling.
Look forward to the next instalment. 👍
Andy!! Hello! Were you already on UA-cam when you camped here?
Makes me laugh how I thought this was windy…no idea there was a storm brewing and I was yet to get proper battered.

One of my favourite camps. When i used to get holidays.
Great hike. Thank you for sharing and wishing you a wonderful weekend. Take care and catch you on the next one.
Thank you so much! Hope you had a great weekend ☺️ Mari
Thanks for posting another great video. Wow, looked like a tough trip. You did well sticking it out. God bless.
Hi Mari, aye the good auld Scottish weather, at times it can be quite brutal, but at least when it's like that there's nae midges 😁,and as for the woolly creature ,he's got some bragging rights 🤣,looking forward tae the next yin,cheers fae Pat
I don’t know, Pat…the worst is yet to come so I might say, I probably would have preferred the midges. 😬
As for the wooly friend, I couldn’t believe my eyes. Haha! Still unsure what they are though. Hope you had a good weekend! Mari
@@FunsizedEarthling snooker player's pot them ,tennis player's volley them,golfers hit them with club's, and if you're still not sure Mari their a good auld set o bollocks, balls,testicles, or whatever yi like tae call them
Just new loving the videos mari . No hike is perfect even haze outdoors had problems on the Cape wrath trail. Keep going 👍
Morning, Jane! Thank you for the encouraging words. Silly me thought this was very windy, I was yet to have the worst conditions I’ve camped in.
Thanks so much for popping over. Really appreciate your time! Mari
Have been looking forward to these vids. There is velcro in each corner of the tent to attach the poles.
Thank you, Linda! Appreciate it. The velcro comes off when there’s strong gusts 😬 Has it ever happened to yours?
@@FunsizedEarthling I haven't been out in strong winds.
Too close to the edge Mari :-) scared me
Evening! :-) Ooppss, sorry.. Which part..?
That looked like a great place to stay! And you had some good food, but wasn't your pack too heavy? Amazing cliffs! Have a great Sunday! Kaat
Hi, Kaatje! I’m not even going to bother denying it…my pack was quite heavy indeed. 😬 This was meant to be an 8-day trip so again, even heavier than my usual pack weight. Have you explored Scotland much? Thank you and hope you had a great Sunday, too. Mari
@@FunsizedEarthling Hi, I have to admit, never been in Scotland... But it's on my list! Some day I'll get there! 😁
@@StepsbyKaatje get your bottom up here! It’s a special place. ☺️
@@FunsizedEarthling 😁👍
Wey-hey! Been waiting for this. Hope you're well, Mari.
Morning, Andy! Sorry, this video is pretty much raw…really struggling to find motivation to edit at the moment. How are you?
@@FunsizedEarthling don't be sorry. No edit or filter or curation needed!
I'm fine thank you. Managed a camp over at Mull the other weekend. Not backpack style though. Used the Oztent.
@@AndyMacaskill oh nice!! You finally got out! How did it go? Also.. What’s an Oztent?
@@FunsizedEarthling it's like a modular system suitable for expeditions or long weekend camping from a car or a 4x4. It went well, although it rained a lot! 🌧️
ang sasarap ng baon mo na food :)
So frustrating when you arrive at a point where the landowner has quite often, illegally blocked a right of way with fencing and barbed wire. I have a simple solution. I have started carrying mini bolt cutters which are quite small. Only about 8 inches long and very cheap on eBay. You can get a pair for about seven quid. I have no hesitation in cutting the barbed wire so I can can cock my leg over or climb over without ripping open my skin or clothing. Barbed wire is horrible stuff which injures livestock and people and its use is totally unnecessary. Fencing can be topped with plain wire. Every wild camper or walker should carry a pair.
