The CAPE WRATH TRAIL - thru-hike, part 4
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 вер 2024
- Continuing north from Maol Bhuidhe bothy, to Kinlochewe, then Fisherfield. New friends, lots of remote mountains, a punctured mattress, more bothies, and some great landscapes.
Our route did not go to Torridon as the cloud was shrouding the summits, but there is plenty of footage of the Torridon and Coulin mountains, and the popular bothies too.
More links provided but please don't let them interrupt this video 😊

Thanks for the memories , I completed the Cape Wrath last year and camped on that very spot with An Teallach . Hope you enjoyed the trail as much as I did.👍
Hey, thanks for the comment 😃 yes, it was absolutely fantastic, one of the best hikes I’ve ever done. It’s great to hear from others who have enjoyed it too. Happy days!
Great videos of a great adventure, you look so joyous to be there. I've just bought one of those mats, it was a toss-up for that or Exped 3R, oh dear...
Hi Duncan! 😊 it was fantastic, exceeded my already high expectations 😀 ah, the mattress… on the bright side, they sent me a brand new one so I’ll continue to keep the other bothy dwellers awake with my fidgeting 😂😂
Torridon, what a beautiful area, with great memories. My mattress is the same now, blowing it up during the night 😮 - 1/2 way, well done 👍
Thanks Mick 😁 Any plans for doing the CWT yourself? But not in a hailstorm like you did last time on the NC500 😉 You might need to replace the mattress though 😂 I got a brand new replacement from Sea to Summit, it’s still noisy though 😂
Images at 9 minutes were amazing 🙂👍
Hey! Nice to hear from you 😊 and thanks for the compliment, especially from a great photographer 😃 we both know how good if feels when the weather is so good to us.. it really was a wonderful hike. I want to do it all over again! All the best! Sue
great videography, editing and story telling. thanks oh i bought the ba 3 wire bivy. heading to backpack the rockies and sierras for a couple months and then to nepal for three passes trek
Thanks Martin 😊 The Rockies… oh, man I’m envious.. that’s somewhere I’ve always wanted to visit. As for Nepal, the stuff of dreams! Have a great time, hope the bivvy works out beautifully for you. We used ours again recently, they were great 👍 All the best! Sue
Love the breaky site Sue. Truly love it when it's as stripped back as that - feels like life is all about abandon. You certainly are on the trail of freedom - what an amazing trail - hey full of cool people too. I think Margo enjoyed the company of you guys. Lots to enjoy on this one - your pit stops also. A fair few of them but hey who said it was a race. Fantastic Sie - loving it. Mark
Thanks Mark, love that you’re joining us on this 🤗 Margo was brilliant, a real tonic & full of knowledge beyond her years, she’d even had a job as a gillie. The pit stops really kept our feet healthy, & Margo stayed with us that day without rushing off either 😊 I love meeting people out on the trail, they really add to the adventure. I notice that you always like to chat to others too, makes the experience more outward looking. Here’s to the great outdoors! Sue
@@FIVE-FOOTLyth A pleasure Sue - it's a great trek you're on. Good to hear of Margo - she looked happy as did your feet - ha ha! Re-meeting people, I love solitude but I always take the chance to connect. You guys are the same - we're humans. Have a great day...
It just gets better Sue 😍You're taking us through some incredible landscapes with a bit of humour along the way. Please tell me Graham didn't carry those stones in his pack? 🤣Congrats on the 400 subs...another milestone reached 👏
thanks Ian 🙂I didn't realise 400 was a milestone 😂but the CWT is certainly helping a bit! I'm really pleased that people are joining us, I feel a bit like Forrest Gump when he went on his long run with folk joining him on the way 🥰 and I'm very grateful for the company. As for those brothers... I had hoped to film them having a scrap at the lighthouse but they were just too good friends at that point even for a bit of acting 😉 things got even better btw, it was incredible 😃
Just gets better as you hike north Sue (mountains and Glen I’ve never heard of until now 🏔️🏴🏔️) stunning
Got to say this trail makes the WHW seem pretty tame (way more committing and remote)
Cool you had some additional company too on this leg(can make the day that 👌🏻)
ATB Simon 🤠👍🏔️
Thanks Simon! I agree it’s a wild one by comparison, the nature of the terrain, the distance & remoteness make for a memorable experience unmatched by anything else in the UK. And it gets even better 😍😃 really pleased that the videos are being enjoyed, it’s so encouraging 🤗
