    Becky, you crack me up, some of the comments are hilarious, you'll have to excuse my bloody knickers 'anging up, the chat about the sheep in the bus shelter killed me, they haven't even got a tent...classic. Love your sense of humour, strength of character and stamina, keep at it. Nice feet 🤣, I think you need new boots maybe. I don't know how you walk on those blisters. Take care, see you on the next one 😊

    The changing weather is like a metaphor for your/ our journey through life….sometimes it is wonderful and life is great and we see beauty in everything.Other times it’s a challenge that calls upon our character to dig deep to overcome. But just like you in this video you just grit your teeth, tell yourself that you can do it,be present in the moment appreciate the moment. And then you rise like a phoenix from the ashes to come out feeling amazing, with a sense of accomplishment and achievement that you can only find in a journey ( whither that’s a physical or mental journey) that you have embarked upon yourself. You are an inspiration to all Becky, for life is for living. Keep up the fantastic work!!😊x

    @Girl Outdoors As a guy who grew up on a hill farm in North Wales, who’s also spent time in remote areas, including where you are, your philosophical sheep monologue amused me greatly. It’s a perfect example of the crazy things that appeal to your mind after days away from the rest of the world, confidant in your own company. The wilderness makes us better humans. Thank you for sharing your journey.
    Peace 😍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

    Becky I know these islands very well as I have been going to the Hebrides all my life as I have family living on North Uist. You done a great job walking and filming this hike. i know how tough the moors are with all the peat bogs, so the fact you managed to keep a smile on your face all the way? just proves to me that you really enjoy being in the great outdoors. keep the videos coming. 😎👍 All the best Glenn.

    If you're in the Scottish highlands or islands and you have run out of food just find the nearest house got to the door and ask them if there are any shops open where you can stock up on supplies and you will be dragged into the house and force feed until you can't eat anymore lol especially if it's a Sunday. Nobody work on the Sabbath on a Sunday,i worked for calmac ferries and when we were in stornoway a man took a heart attack and the islanders refused to open the airport to let him fly out to the hospital in Glasgow lol. we had to take him by ferry

    An epic Becky! Congratulations on finishing the Hebridean Way in such horrendous weather. In that sense, you certainly did experience the two sides to the coin. The scenery in the Western Isles is outstanding and the experience on the wild Atlantic shore is truly expressed as like being on the edge of the world.
    In reference to Sunday and everything being closed, the northern islands in the Hebrides are predominately 'Wee Free'. The 'Wee Free' was a 19th century breakaway from the presbyterian Kirk of Scotland; a small group who became free of the Kirk and its rules. Adherents are very strict in observing the Sabbath Day as being the Lord's Day. Until recent years, these observations were rigidly applied - no ferries on a Sunday, no flights on a Sunday, no bars open on a Sunday, no hotels open on a Sunday, no swing parks open on a Sunday .... nothing! Even to go out for a walk on a Sunday was frowned upon! There has been a slow change lately but it is not uncommon to find that Sundays are still strictly observed by many.
    In this respect, you are better off in the southern islands of the Hebrides; South Uist, Eriskay, Barra and Vatersay - they remain Catholic and the folk there are not averse to being able to enjoy themselves on a Sunday - after Mass, of course. Shops are open, pubs are open, as are hotels - altogether, much more relaxed.

    you are extremely inspiring,I started watching you purely by chance last October . I'd never wild camped before so I spent a couple of months buying equipment and my first wild camp was hallin fell in the lakes on Christmas day since then I've spent most of my time outdoors a proper dirtbag and I love it . I start the pennine way next Friday with my little dog and I carnt wait. I've not been happier the simplicity , everything you need in your backpack . I like to think of us as flightless birds and our tents give us wings enabling us to soar on mountain tops . what a life. thank you.

    Great to see you happy and enjoying the trek.
    I can't however understand how your feet got in such a state. They seem continuously wet and damp, which softens the feet and invites blisters. I use heavy and robust Scarpa leather mountain boots (without goretex) that are totally waterproof, yet very breathable, and never, ever get blisters no matter what the terrain or how heavy my pack is. I'd advise you to look seriously into your present footwear and change them for a decent pair of boots.

  • @auswalker7865
    @auswalker7865 2 роки тому +1

    It's been an excellent series Becky. You have shown us great resilience and courage during difficult times and your photography has been wonderful to watch. For blisters I have always carried a small bottle of Friars Balsam. It's a great antiseptic, toughens the skin but stings like all get out on any broken skin. Thanks for taking us with you.

When at the town all closed up ,, why not just set up camp and take a day of rest so as to resupply the next day .. Nourishment is important ... These video's will be a thrill to watch in your years to come and see the strong determined young lady step her way through life with sunshine or raging storms ... So Impressive ..

    After a few days off grid in our van we called at the Moorcroft campsite hoping to book in for the night as the black tank was nearly full and the fresh water tank nearly empty. Unfortunately they were fully booked but they were really nice and lets us use the toilet block facilities and sort out the water and waste situation. I've since recommended the site to everyone visiting the Outer Hebrides.

    Just a wonderful video but I now understand it better after just completing the CWT two days ago, my second long distance after the WHW in May. It is thanks to you and others who inspired me.
    As good as your videos are they do not portray the absolute stunning scenary as it is. Standing in the middle of nowhere surrounded by such magnificent scenary is the only way to experience and truly bathe in its beauty.
    So everyone seriously consider following in Beckys footsteps. There will come day when you can't and you will regret it. But remember this is a serious undertaking so you need to think carefully if you beleive it is possible and prepare.
    As for blisters on the CWT over 21 days - Zero! Thanks to Mr. Leuko tape which was applied to all known problem areas.
