Excellent Robin really enjoying all of your video's. Cape Wrath trail is not easy. Enjoyed the Scenery a beautiful part of Scotland. God's own Country.
Cheers Duncan. Head to the Hills popped into my thoughts quite often particularly after Ullapool as I knew he didn't get to do that section. The cottage was fab. 😁
Happy 50th Birthday Iain🎉 The wee bothy looked very cool, though the luxurious cottage looked even cooler😊 That short cut worked well in avoiding even more bog. Some cracking looking mountains to be walking through. And no mention of blisters👍
Brilliant mate. Another enjoyable video as per usual.👌 Good memories again of our walk to Inverie. I remember that bit where the path strikes uphill over the river before the downward trek to Sourlies. We got abit confused there. Looking forward to next week 🙃
You aren't half clocking up an audience with this Robin, and rightly so. A cracking video. When R and I did Ben Aden we mistakenly went down that route to Sourlies that you called "a pig of a track", Can confirm...especially as the evening draws near. Stayed in Sourlies and the one in Barrisdale Bay, but on different occasions. Great memories re-awakened.
Thanks Squiz, glad you're enjoying the series and bring up some memories too. I've still to do Ben Aden, so I won't make that mistake. 😆 PS. The new Carnach Bridge is excellent.
Enjoying following you on this trail. Really enjoying seeing those bothies. Looks like you are well catered for in the Scottish mountains. I’m hoping to walk Hadrian’s wall trail in July, before taking on the Pennine Way in September. Apparently the midges mostly stay on the Scottish side of the wall, so hoping that’s true 😆
Cheers Anthony, there's a nice selection of bothies on the trail. 😁 That wouldn't surprise me about Hadrian's Wall, that's a walk I'd like to try too, I've heard it's quite difficult to camp as there's a lot of farm land? 🤔
@@WalkWithWallace I’d heard the Hadrian’s wall path isn’t one of the better ones for wild camping. There are plenty of actual camp sites along the way but guessing that’s a worst nightmare for true wild campers like yourself. I’ll be stopping in B&B’s on that one. Not quite ready yet for the full backpacking experience but will so once I’ve got a few more trails under the belt 👍
@@AnthonyJohnson1 I'll need to research it more, as it's definitely something I'd like to do. Added to the never ending list. Took me 3-4 years to get around to doing the CWT, so I know what you mean.
@@WalkWithWallace The Knoydart and Assynt areas of Scotland are just stunning areas, the remoteness is unbelievable, I can’t wait to get up there later this summer with my Dad.
Another great episode - great scenery, tips, filming and humour 👍 Happy memories of Knoydart days for me as well. You landed on your feet with that accommodation👍 Looking forward to Episode 3.
Fair enjoyed that Robin. I've covered a fair bit of that ground over the years and can sympathise with you on the boggy bit between Sourlies and the bridge and also the walk out from Barrisdale to Kinloch Hourne which I've always done with full pack and knackered after bagging munros. Looking forward to the next section now, bring it on.
@@WalkWithWallace The last time I was at Barrisdale we got the boat from Arnisdale but I've walked from Kinloch Hourne 4 times. Everyone should do it once, but 4 may be a bit much ha ha!
Just ruddy brilliant Robin. Top top effort. Such a great vlog and you make it look a hell of a lot easier than it is. Amazing scenery and a brilliant guide for others. Well done mate👍👍👍
Happy Birthday to you. Happy 50th. Really enjoying the route and videos Robin. You two are doing great, looks brillant. Take care and enjoy the views 🤓
I camped in more or less the same spot as you along the Carnach River. Good to see the nice new bridge, the old one was looking a bit dodgy when I crossed it in 2016.
Cheers Len, I remember reading about Knoydart in the 80s, there was a big rush to get the Munros done as the MOD were going to buy the land there. Thankfully they didn't. 😁
@@WalkWithWallace Oh I remember that now. However my main memory is doing Ladhar Bheinn from Kinlochhourn and back in a day and being refused an evening meal in the Tomdoun hotel as I had arrived five minutes after last orders.
@@WalkWithWallace Yeah I was fit then. Not long out of the army. Pub happy to serve me beer and crisps and let me spend the night in a wee bunkhouse/ Bothy they had.
Superb Robin , the scenery is just stunning but heavy going at times. I bet that shower felt great after a few days on the trail. Looks like you dropped lucky with the cottage , onto part 3 atb Dave
What would absolutely make these videos perfect is some musical accompaniment from some of the great Scottish bands from back in the day. The music you are currently playing is reminiscent of Stealers Wheel, but then there's Alex Harvey, Gerry Rafferty, Average White Band. Not sure how it works in terms of copyright, but Stealer's Wheel 'I get by' would work brilliantly with you wading through the boggy highland terrain!
Totally agree. I would have loved to have some Scottish bands in my videos. The Vatersay Boys in particular are one of my favourites so upbeat and their music gets the hairs on the back of the neck standing. Alas as you touch on, is copyright and I'd lose the little ad revenue I get.
@@WalkWithWallace Totally understand. I made a mistake actually .. the music you play as your soundtrack doesn't sound like Stealer's Wheel, but McGuiness Flint who I don't actually think were Scottish (but maybe of Scottish origin?). The track in particular it reminded me of was this ... ua-cam.com/video/G0DttYjN5p8/v-deo.html. Anyway I'll shut up now. Loving your trek so far and you were certainly blessed with the weather.
That whole section from A'Chuil to Kinloch Hourn is epic. Some of the most amazing scenery that I've ever experienced. Nice and remote. The bit after Barrisdale to Kinloch Hourn is a bawbuster only if you've never walked it before. But once you've done it once and you know what you're letting yourself in for, it doesn't seem nearly as bad. The bit from Sourlies to Barrisdale I found a lot worse, but I stupidly followed the trail marked out on the map. You definitely did the right thing by skirting up the side of the mountain. Enjoyed this video. It brought back a few memories.
Thanks Terry, definitely agree about the section being epic. Where we camped cent totally remote. Got any thing planned to hit the trail again this year?
@@WalkWithWallace Yeah. I wanna finish off the CWT this year, but think getting another smaller trail under my belt first would be good just to get back into the swing of things after this lockdown. Looking at the Sutherland Trail. I've decided to take a bit of a hiatus from making videos. It's getting a bit old to me and is distracting from my enjoyment of being outdoors. Sometimes you just want to be in the moment without thinking about camera angles and capturing every moment. So many videos are just repeats of the same shit and it seems like people are compelled to put a video up every week just for the sake of putting a video up every week. Was at a bothy last night and it was nice just to enjoy it for what it was without having to preoccupy myself with filming. If it's all gonna be much of the same then I've decided I'm not filming it. A trail is good video material I feel, as people can get some good information from it. There's a gazillion videos out there of gear reviews, shelter builds, folks cooking breakfast in the wild, or testing tent pegs for tent-peg-ability (sorry Ray). I'm gonna spend the next little while just doing my thing without peer review and then probably film some little hundred mile trail first before the last leg of the CWT. Looking forward to seeing the rest of your trip. The Cape Wrath Trail is an epic personal voyage that will stick with you for the rest of your life. A personal 'Hero's Journey' so to speak.
@@mediasubway Sutherland Trail would be decent mate, much quieter than the CWT. I'm hearing the latter is really busy at the moment. Got the John O'Groats Trail as well, a lot of coastal walking on that though. I know what you mean about the filming and UA-camrs in general. I get the feeling people go out just to get a video up, that's the wrong way to go about it. I know gear reviews are not your thing. 😅 Ray at least has come up with some original ideas.
@@WalkWithWallace I guess that's the gem's of the rough bounds for you! A magic place! Gotta put in the leg work in to find real paradise auld chap!! 👍🙏
Amazing scenery! Enjoyed watching as usual! What a great way to begin a new decade for Ian, happy belated to him! Great video, and well done on finishing the walk! ❤❤❤
Peaceful and remote are two perfect words to describe this walk, it looked great, especially seeing the local wildlife. Nice to have the bothy all to yourselves and a well earned late lunch but no birthdate cake😳. Funny finding that camera mind, I do hope there is something on the card and you can tract down the owner. Nice short cut, especially cutting off all that bog land and a great place for an extended lunch at the bay. £10 for a shower, I think I would have rather braved the icy cold of Barrisdale Bay but the full English (Scottish) did look nice mind. False alarm for the tick, I bet Ian was pleased😂😂😂. Jammy buggers, you did fall on your feet, why do theses things never happen to me 🤔. Cheers Alan
Cheers Alan, apparently everything runs off a generator, so it's a bit dearer. They took £10 off the bill for the cottage afterwards, which was good of them. It's really stunning and remote in that section, not a place for an ankle break though.
Great vlog Robin. I wish I'd known about your shortcut of the dogleg! Also somewhat jealous of the cottage comforts at Lochhournhead lol. Looking forward to seeing the next installment. Cheers
These weekly videos of the CWT are really excellent Robin. Was great to see Ladhar Bheinn this week which was my final new Munro. You must have carrying plenty of spare batteries for your cameras. Looking forward to the next episode. 👍
Really enjoying the trip Robin and I just know when you finish posting I will one night pour a large dram and watch them all again from start to finish.
I remember this section well good to see they put the bridge back it was missing when I was there and it was a bit tricky to cross the river! This video brought back a lot of memories thanks for sharing Robin :-)
Again a great video, somehow you get it right to my taste :-)! I loved the high lochs on the way to Sourlies. Sourlies must be my favorite spot of all. I saw the tide going out, deer coming down the hill to feed... That time the track to Barrisdale was fine, but once next to Loch Hourn the path and the entire hillside went full waterslide :-). Just goe to show, it's not called Rough for nothing... Take care now, looking forward to the next video!
Cheers mate. 😎 I'd actually like to go back in and spend a night by or in Sourlies. Just had a right magic feel to the place and I'd happily just chill out there.
Nice one👍 You certainly scored with that holiday cottage! I remember the walk into Sourlies from a few years ago, seemed to be a lot further than it appeared on the map. Much the same with the Kinlochourn path. I guess that's Knoydart for you!
Belated Happy Birthday to Iain 🎈 How's your bahookie healing... I assume its not been so bad as you didn't mention it. That's an amazing cottage at the end !
Keep up the great work, mate and hopefully you the memory card can reconnect with it's rightful owner. How are you finding the Naturehike pillow? The Trekology one just slips off the mat for me.
Hey Monty. Still not been able to find the chap in the photos, I think he's Polish, but lives there too. It can be a bit sweaty on your face, but I pull the elastic on the hood of the sleeping bag and trap the pillow in. Putting a Buff over it as a pillow slip helps too. 😁
Watched these first two videos together , it is great to see the remote scenery and that cottage looks great ; ) I am looking forward to the rest of the videos. I hope your footwear works out ok for the full walk ;)Teddy PS Belated Birthday greetings to your buddy
Nice film Robin 👍 That's some place you and Ian walked through talk about remote! But very beautiful all the same well done you two👏 That must have hurt losing that camera good few hunner quid i would say any luck in salvaging the SD card i mean like blackmail photies or anything lol!
Cheers Peter. I got the photos off the camera, nothing dodgy. 😁 Shared it across social media, but no takers. The lad is Polish, but resides in Poland I reckon. Worked out he was doing the CWT too with the pics.
Oatcakes and babybell is my go to breakfast. I even got some plastic boxes to keep the oatcakes in. Stops them breaking. Babybell are a godsend if you are lactose intolerant. Saves on the trowel work :) and they seem to keep for days.
@@WalkWithWallace Nice to see you got a cottage. I follow kerry on insta. Once this covid is over I have 2 years of doing stuff in Scotland to catch up on. Had to cancel WHW and another walk. Have a walk in France planned for September. Here is hoping. Oh and happy Birthday to the big man. Just a youngster. Life begins at 50.
@@BrokenBackMountains Kerry and Michael are such great hosts, they really took care of us that day, worth every penny. That reminds me, I'll let her know the video is up. 😁
Great footage of your trek through some of Scotlands scenic landscape. Out of curiosity, how often did you stop during the days for snacks/drinks and what did you eat when you stopped?
Thanks Bob. We stopped quite a lot. I like to eat little but often between meals. So I'm always snacking. I went with oatcakes, cheese, pepperamis, chocolate, cereal bars, salted peanuts, trail mix and the meal replacement shakes.
Loving this CWT Robin. Great video and trail mate. The bog is always a bit of fun isn't it? You mentioned your trail runners not being to much of a bother. How did that work? Seal skinz and quick dry? Anyway, bothy and awesome mountains as well as a cool 50 year old partner. Good going. Look forward to part 3. Mark
I just went with regular Darn Tough socks and embraced wet feet nearly every day. I'd wash and dry my feet at night and my luxury item was a pair of camp slippers. Worked well for me, I know not everybody is keen on wet feet though.
@@WyeExplorer I remember Kyle telling me he once got trench foot. That made me a bit paranoid. I tried Gehwol foot cream, but I gave me a sweat rash. 😔
@@davidcressey I done a nice section hike in the Cairngorms following some of the Scottish National Trail to prepare and test the new tent etc. Was ideal.
Hi Rob... that 2 years went quick. Done quite a few trails. Really interested in the route through Knoydart where you shaved of about a kilometer (at 15.22) . Do you have a GPX for it? Thanks :)
That bit from Sourlies to Upper Glendessary took us 9 hours on a very soggy day! you did well to avoid the forest just outside A Chuil bothy, it is a bog fest
by the way you have to stick tight to the river as you go around the head of the bay after/before Sourlies or you sink in the bogs, which you discovered !
Nice one beautiful rugged scenery and isolation it looks a tough walk are you just using map and compass can't believe there's a t room cool shame the weather's not better i live in Yorkshire it's cold and raining down here and has been for weeks good show respect dudes ⛺🌄🏕🎆🌌🌅🌠😎
Well done Robin. Looks a great walk. So pleased your bottom is getting better. Remember clean botty no spoties. Good video with lots of good information. Really enjoyed watching. Atb Steve 👍. Ps £10 for a shower 😬
Cheers Stevie, aye the bum was in a much better place this time. 😂 They estate runs off a generator hence the expensive shower, they docked the tenner off the accommodation for us, which was good of them. 👍🏼
Enjoyed that mate, looked proper rugged, such amazing scenery up there! Was the stag skull already at the bothy or did u put it there? I would love to find one of them! Thanks for sharing Ash
@@WalkWithWallace ah man, I’m coming up there to find myself a set... I wouldn’t sell them, I’ve wanted some for years! Might have to settle for a sheep skull on the c2c 😂
Ooft, that was some serious wild walking, looks absolutely fantastic! That cottage is lovely, bet you had a great kip in a proper bed, shame you'd already paid a tenner for a shower but I suppose it supports the business :) Brilliant mate!
Cheers Mucker, they were really good and took £10 off the bill when we got the cottage. So it worked out well. Top hike in one of my favourite sections.
@@WalkWithWallace Yeah it was a detour but so was Plockton Beer Festival! Let's hope the locals take over the Old Forge, the trip advisor reviews are hilarious.
Top pack, I'm really happy with it. Comfortable, carries the weight well (13kg on day 1 with all the food) One minor gripe is the small lid pocket, but it's not a floating lid so understandable.
Hi there Just watched a couple of your videos of CWT. In knoydart you found a nihon camera. Back in 2011 I met a walker on Luinne Bheinn and we descended together towards River Carnoch. At one point we stopped for a bite to eat. We walked on and my companion realised he had left his camera. We spent ages looking for it but eventually gave up. I have no idea who he was he said he had worked for Rabbies and that he was now a teacher possibly at Waid Academy. I know this was 10 years ago but not too many people can have lost a good digital camera in that remote spot. Have you traced the owner?
Hi Paul, I never managed to trace the owner of the camera. However going by the photos he was doing the CWT too. Likely he was Polish too. Would that tie in? I tweeted a photo of him if you're on Twitter?
@@WalkWithWallace Hi Robin I think my guy lost his camera a bit higher up the hillside. We were traversing down towards river. Think the one you found was nearer river. Next time you are there look out for it😉
@@WalkWithWallace I don't know. It was the only trail I have finished that I was glad to be going home. Inverness to Helmsdale is pretty bland and Helmsdale to John O'Groats is at times terrifying. There are a lot of spots where one stumble would be the end of you. Having said that , they are working hard on it with signs and stiles etc but if you are going to do it, do it in Spring as in summer the undergrowth becomes a bit of a battle to get through in some spots.
Haha, aye a tenner was a bit steep, so I stayed in for ages washing my clothes too. 😆 Apparently it runs off a generator hence the price. They took £10 off the bill when we got the accommodation booked short notice.
Hey Marella, it's the Cape Wrath Trail that starts in Fort William and finishes at the Cape Wrath lighthouse. I have broken up the videos into sections.
@@WalkWithWallace Hi Wallace thank you for the reply. Yes I know the Durness area well. I couldn't find it in your videos. That is the one I most wanted to see.
+Scottish Documentaries 77 I didn't in the end, I think he's a Polish national so probably didn't see the tweet I sent, got a few RTs too. No luck on the Facebook groups either.
Hi Nigel, the walk was done in late April/Early May. I reckon this is the best time to do any hike in Scotland. No midges and best chance of getting a spell of settled weather. One caveat is there can sometimes be lying snow from winter on the high passes.
And you thought Line of Duty was addictive. Another cracking instalment. Aye a bit grey but still spell binding scenery. In the old days you’d have some one suck the poison oot of your backside. Not sure Ian would be up for that. A cottage to yourself ya dancer. Looking forward to the next one.
@@WalkWithWallace Sorry I ment stick to the right all the way round from bothy, plenty time to cut across river, plenty easy crossing points further around and avoid that quagmire. Cheers, enjoying vid.
The best way to the bridge I have found, after a few tries, (including the direct route and hugging the hillside). Is to follow the riverbank much better, even when there was no bridge.
⚡If you're curious to see what gear I used on the Cape Wrath Trail, then you can view the video here:

That whole section from A'Chuil to Kinloch Hourn is epic. Some of the most amazing scenery that I've ever experienced. Nice and remote. The bit after Barrisdale to Kinloch Hourn is a bawbuster only if you've never walked it before. But once you've done it once and you know what you're letting yourself in for, it doesn't seem nearly as bad. The bit from Sourlies to Barrisdale I found a lot worse, but I stupidly followed the trail marked out on the map. You definitely did the right thing by skirting up the side of the mountain. Enjoyed this video. It brought back a few memories.
Thanks Terry, definitely agree about the section being epic. Where we camped cent totally remote. Got any thing planned to hit the trail again this year?
@@WalkWithWallace Yeah. I wanna finish off the CWT this year, but think getting another smaller trail under my belt first would be good just to get back into the swing of things after this lockdown. Looking at the Sutherland Trail. I've decided to take a bit of a hiatus from making videos. It's getting a bit old to me and is distracting from my enjoyment of being outdoors. Sometimes you just want to be in the moment without thinking about camera angles and capturing every moment. So many videos are just repeats of the same shit and it seems like people are compelled to put a video up every week just for the sake of putting a video up every week. Was at a bothy last night and it was nice just to enjoy it for what it was without having to preoccupy myself with filming. If it's all gonna be much of the same then I've decided I'm not filming it. A trail is good video material I feel, as people can get some good information from it. There's a gazillion videos out there of gear reviews, shelter builds, folks cooking breakfast in the wild, or testing tent pegs for tent-peg-ability (sorry Ray). I'm gonna spend the next little while just doing my thing without peer review and then probably film some little hundred mile trail first before the last leg of the CWT. Looking forward to seeing the rest of your trip. The Cape Wrath Trail is an epic personal voyage that will stick with you for the rest of your life. A personal 'Hero's Journey' so to speak.
@@mediasubway Sutherland Trail would be decent mate, much quieter than the CWT. I'm hearing the latter is really busy at the moment.
Got the John O'Groats Trail as well, a lot of coastal walking on that though.
I know what you mean about the filming and UA-camrs in general. I get the feeling people go out just to get a video up, that's the wrong way to go about it. I know gear reviews are not your thing. 😅 Ray at least has come up with some original ideas.
Really enjoying your channel and this particular adventure. Many thanks for your efforts.
Cheers Jon, I'm chuffed you're enjoying it and I appreciate you dropping into the comments. 😁 👍🏼
@14.43. ! Untamed western Scotland 👍👍🙏🙏
Loved it in there mate, I reckon that's the remotest I've ever felt in Scotland.
@@WalkWithWallace I guess that's the gem's of the rough bounds for you! A magic place! Gotta put in the leg work in to find real paradise auld chap!! 👍🙏
@@fraserconnell21 that much is true squire. 😁 👍🏻
Amazing scenery! Enjoyed watching as usual! What a great way to begin a new decade for Ian, happy belated to him! Great video, and well done on finishing the walk! ❤❤❤
Thanks Janie, but we're a long way off finishing the walk. 😂
@@WalkWithWallace I know that, but you did finish it lol..and we've still to see the end!😝
Good stuff lads. No quarter given in the rough bounds. Weather has been kind so far...looking forward to the next leg. Cheers
Thanks TB. I reckon this was one of my favourite sections. 😁
Man I am so jealous, you must be loving it. The only blot on the landscape I could see was the shorts/tights combo😀
It was cracking mate, was good watching back tonight. 😅 @ shorts/tights combo!
Superb, absolutely loved the Munro's in Knoydart.
Agreed, I need to go back in and sweep up the Corbetts I need. 😁
Great stuff! Looks hard enough without having to film and carry all the extra camera equipment. Thanks
Brian🛸👽
Cheers mate. 😎
Got the vlogging weight down to around 1kg, but I know what you mean.
Peaceful and remote are two perfect words to describe this walk, it looked great, especially seeing the local wildlife. Nice to have the bothy all to yourselves and a well earned late lunch but no birthdate cake😳. Funny finding that camera mind, I do hope there is something on the card and you can tract down the owner. Nice short cut, especially cutting off all that bog land and a great place for an extended lunch at the bay. £10 for a shower, I think I would have rather braved the icy cold of Barrisdale Bay but the full English (Scottish) did look nice mind. False alarm for the tick, I bet Ian was pleased😂😂😂. Jammy buggers, you did fall on your feet, why do theses things never happen to me 🤔. Cheers Alan
Cheers Alan, apparently everything runs off a generator, so it's a bit dearer. They took £10 off the bill for the cottage afterwards, which was good of them. It's really stunning and remote in that section, not a place for an ankle break though.
Hey bro ,new subscriber here.
Great video, keep going 🌍, stay healthy. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
Great vlog Robin. I wish I'd known about your shortcut of the dogleg! Also somewhat jealous of the cottage comforts at Lochhournhead lol. Looking forward to seeing the next installment. Cheers
The shortcut was Iain's idea, we tried a few more. Some I wasn't so convinced about. 😂
These weekly videos of the CWT are really excellent Robin. Was great to see Ladhar Bheinn this week which was my final new Munro. You must have carrying plenty of spare batteries for your cameras. Looking forward to the next episode. 👍
Cheers mate, Ladhar Bheinn is a peach of a mountain. Fine Munro to finish on. 👌🏼
Ha yes 9 batteries I carried. 🔋 😁
Really enjoying the trip Robin and I just know when you finish posting I will one night pour a large dram and watch them all again from start to finish.
Cheers Mucker, think I'll have a wee dram too when the last one goes out, enjoyed reliving the hike while editing too. 🥃 #slainte
Good stuff mate , i bet the shower felt great lol ...cracking looking digs ..cheers Stevie
Haha cheers mate, shower was the biz. 🚿
Enjoyed this one, Robin! The views were wild. Great to chat with you guys live too. 👍🏼 Mari
Cheers Mari and for dropping into the live chat too. 😎
I remember this section well good to see they put the bridge back it was missing when I was there and it was a bit tricky to cross the river! This video brought back a lot of memories thanks for sharing Robin :-)
Snowy when are you setting off on the SUW?
Cheers Snowy, great section isn't it. Wouldn't fancy attempting that river in spate, the bridge was down for ages.
@@OldStag72 hopefully after the storm passes next week, mate👍🍺
@@WalkWithWallace it is! 😎
Amazing scenery up there it looks amazing, well done guys 👍
Cheers Ian, have you been into Knoydart for photography yet?
@@WalkWithWallace not yet robin but its been on the bucket list for a while , maybe soon 😁
Again a great video, somehow you get it right to my taste :-)! I loved the high lochs on the way to Sourlies. Sourlies must be my favorite spot of all. I saw the tide going out, deer coming down the hill to feed... That time the track to Barrisdale was fine, but once next to Loch Hourn the path and the entire hillside went full waterslide :-). Just goe to show, it's not called Rough for nothing... Take care now, looking forward to the next video!
Cheers mate. 😎
I'd actually like to go back in and spend a night by or in Sourlies. Just had a right magic feel to the place and I'd happily just chill out there.
Nice one, I'll bet that bed was tough to get out of the next day, Good stuff. stay safe ATB.
Cheers mate. The digs we got was spot on. 😁
Nice one👍 You certainly scored with that holiday cottage!
I remember the walk into Sourlies from a few years ago, seemed to be a lot further than it appeared on the map. Much the same with the Kinlochourn path. I guess that's Knoydart for you!
Aye that cottage was well smart. The map lures you in a bit, looks easy on the 1:50 scale. 😁
Belated Happy Birthday to Iain 🎈
How's your bahookie healing... I assume its not been so bad as you didn't mention it. That's an amazing cottage at the end !
Haha, thankfully the bahookie eased off with the lip balm. 😆
Keep up the great work, mate and hopefully you the memory card can reconnect with it's rightful owner.
How are you finding the Naturehike pillow? The Trekology one just slips off the mat for me.
Hey Monty. Still not been able to find the chap in the photos, I think he's Polish, but lives there too.
It can be a bit sweaty on your face, but I pull the elastic on the hood of the sleeping bag and trap the pillow in. Putting a Buff over it as a pillow slip helps too. 😁
Watched these first two videos together , it is great to see the remote scenery and that cottage looks great ; ) I am looking forward to the rest of the videos. I hope your footwear works out ok for the full walk ;)Teddy
PS Belated Birthday greetings to your buddy
Thanks for watching Teddy. Hope the humans enjoyed them too. 😆
@@WalkWithWallace Yes they did ; )
well done to the both of you, some stunning scenery also. Ian, 50 thats just the start, it gets better after that :)
Cheers Geo, great place to have a 50th birthday. I forgot his birthday cake 🎂 😄
Nice film Robin 👍 That's some place you and Ian walked through talk about remote! But very beautiful all the same well done you two👏 That must have hurt losing that camera good few hunner quid i would say any luck in salvaging the SD card i mean like blackmail photies or anything lol!
Cheers Peter. I got the photos off the camera, nothing dodgy. 😁 Shared it across social media, but no takers. The lad is Polish, but resides in Poland I reckon. Worked out he was doing the CWT too with the pics.
Someone has probably already asked in the comments...
If it wasn't a tick, what was the phantom dangler?!?!?!
😂 😂 Think I was just being paranoid.
Oatcakes and babybell is my go to breakfast. I even got some plastic boxes to keep the oatcakes in. Stops them breaking.
Babybell are a godsend if you are lactose intolerant. Saves on the trowel work :) and they seem to keep for days.
Babybel are excellent, like you say they last ages in their wax packaging. Mackeral wraps could be a thing of the past now. 😅
@@WalkWithWallace Nice to see you got a cottage. I follow kerry on insta. Once this covid is over I have 2 years of doing stuff in Scotland to catch up on. Had to cancel WHW and another walk. Have a walk in France planned for September. Here is hoping. Oh and happy Birthday to the big man. Just a youngster. Life begins at 50.
@@BrokenBackMountains Kerry and Michael are such great hosts, they really took care of us that day, worth every penny. That reminds me, I'll let her know the video is up. 😁
PS. Forgot to comment on the Carnach bridge. What an improvement on its forerunner, the Shuggly Bridge.
I never seen the original bridge in the flesh, but it certainly had character. 😁
Great footage of your trek through some of Scotlands scenic landscape.
Out of curiosity, how often did you stop during the days for snacks/drinks and what did you eat when you stopped?
Thanks Bob. We stopped quite a lot. I like to eat little but often between meals. So I'm always snacking. I went with oatcakes, cheese, pepperamis, chocolate, cereal bars, salted peanuts, trail mix and the meal replacement shakes.
@@WalkWithWallace thanks for taking the time to reply to my question. Much appreciated.
@@bobturner3645 you're welcome and thanks for watching and dropping in a comment. 😊
Loving this CWT Robin. Great video and trail mate. The bog is always a bit of fun isn't it? You mentioned your trail runners not being to much of a bother. How did that work? Seal skinz and quick dry? Anyway, bothy and awesome mountains as well as a cool 50 year old partner. Good going. Look forward to part 3. Mark
I just went with regular Darn Tough socks and embraced wet feet nearly every day. I'd wash and dry my feet at night and my luxury item was a pair of camp slippers. Worked well for me, I know not everybody is keen on wet feet though.
@@WalkWithWallace Hey that sounds a reasonable arrangement. Impala Kyle rubs Vaseline into his to.
@@WyeExplorer I remember Kyle telling me he once got trench foot. That made me a bit paranoid. I tried Gehwol foot cream, but I gave me a sweat rash. 😔
@@WalkWithWallace He did - we spoke about that when we met the other week. That cream sounds like it would melt my feet.
@@WyeExplorer I'm hoping to meet him too, his route skirts Edinburgh I think. That cream gets rave review from long distance hikers, but not for me.
Great video, and well done - that looked a hard few days!
Thanks David. Aye a good introduction to what was still to come. 😁
@@WalkWithWallace I'm looking to do it in 2 years... Need a few longer than WHW walks before then. 🙂
@@davidcressey I done a nice section hike in the Cairngorms following some of the Scottish National Trail to prepare and test the new tent etc. Was ideal.
@@WalkWithWallace Thats a great idea.... Thanks 😁
Hi Rob... that 2 years went quick. Done quite a few trails. Really interested in the route through Knoydart where you shaved of about a kilometer (at 15.22) . Do you have a GPX for it? Thanks :)
That bit from Sourlies to Upper Glendessary took us 9 hours on a very soggy day! you did well to avoid the forest just outside A Chuil bothy, it is a bog fest
It's a tough shift isn't it, looks easy on a map.
by the way you have to stick tight to the river as you go around the head of the bay after/before Sourlies or you sink in the bogs, which you discovered !
@@craiggulley2958 ha yes, lesson learnt there. I've been meaning to look at the GPS log and see if you can see us walking back and forth.
Nice one beautiful rugged scenery and isolation it looks a tough walk are you just using map and compass can't believe there's a t room cool shame the weather's not better i live in Yorkshire it's cold and raining down here and has been for weeks good show respect dudes ⛺🌄🏕🎆🌌🌅🌠😎
Cheers Robert, the tea room and B&B is apparently at the end of longest dead end road in the UK at 22 miles long. Weather pants in Edinburgh too. 😔
@@WalkWithWallace cheers are you using the hiking app as well as map
@@kasperhauser987 I use Viewranger on the phone, plus the paper Harvey's maps.
Fantastic scenery. Now l know why they call it "rough". Great videos and compulsive viewing. 👍
Cheers Gavin, aye it definitely lives up to its name and reputation. 😁 👍🏼
Well done Robin. Looks a great walk. So pleased your bottom is getting better. Remember clean botty no spoties. Good video with lots of good information. Really enjoyed watching. Atb Steve 👍. Ps £10 for a shower 😬
Cheers Stevie, aye the bum was in a much better place this time. 😂 They estate runs off a generator hence the expensive shower, they docked the tenner off the accommodation for us, which was good of them. 👍🏼
Enjoyed that mate, looked proper rugged, such amazing scenery up there! Was the stag skull already at the bothy or did u put it there? I would love to find one of them!
Thanks for sharing
Ash
Hey Ash, the stag skull and antlers were on the ground when we arrived. Worth about £80-100 for a decent set. I wasn't carrying them out though. 🦌 😂
@@WalkWithWallace ah man, I’m coming up there to find myself a set... I wouldn’t sell them, I’ve wanted some for years! Might have to settle for a sheep skull on the c2c 😂
@@AshOutdoorsUK haha, if I see a set close to the road I'll grab them for ya. 😁
Ooft, that was some serious wild walking, looks absolutely fantastic! That cottage is lovely, bet you had a great kip in a proper bed, shame you'd already paid a tenner for a shower but I suppose it supports the business :) Brilliant mate!
Cheers Mucker, they were really good and took £10 off the bill when we got the cottage. So it worked out well. Top hike in one of my favourite sections.
@@WalkWithWallace Brilliant! :D I've heard all about that trail through Knoydart, but you aced it :)
If Carlsberg did treks, they wouldn't do one this hard.😂
More a Stella trek maybe? 🍻 😁
@@WalkWithWallace or stick to your gunns
Both times I've done it , I've went into Inverie for few beers. Next time I'll need to head up the way you guys did.
Looking forward to seeing what the locals do with the pub, if they manage the take over.
It's a bit of a detour off the CWT isn't it?
@@WalkWithWallace Yeah it was a detour but so was Plockton Beer Festival! Let's hope the locals take over the Old Forge, the trip advisor reviews are hilarious.
@@OldStag72 the Belgian boy was an absolute nightmare. Total Jeckyll & Hyde character.
Fantastic, looking forward to more. How do you find the Sierra Designs Flex Capacitor?
Top pack, I'm really happy with it. Comfortable, carries the weight well (13kg on day 1 with all the food) One minor gripe is the small lid pocket, but it's not a floating lid so understandable.
Thanks for the reply pal. Good luck 👍
@@aarmy3374 no probs mate. 👍🏼
Hi there
Just watched a couple of your videos of CWT. In knoydart you found a nihon camera. Back in 2011 I met a walker on Luinne Bheinn and we descended together towards River Carnoch. At one point we stopped for a bite to eat. We walked on and my companion realised he had left his camera. We spent ages looking for it but eventually gave up. I have no idea who he was he said he had worked for Rabbies and that he was now a teacher possibly at Waid Academy. I know this was 10 years ago but not too many people can have lost a good digital camera in that remote spot. Have you traced the owner?
Hi Paul, I never managed to trace the owner of the camera. However going by the photos he was doing the CWT too. Likely he was Polish too. Would that tie in? I tweeted a photo of him if you're on Twitter?
@@WalkWithWallace Hi Robin I think my guy lost his camera a bit higher up the hillside. We were traversing down towards river. Think the one you found was nearer river. Next time you are there look out for it😉
@@paulbirrell5057 yeah sounds like a different person. Must be a few cameras on the hills that are waiting to be found. 😁
I thought that Barrisdale to Kinlochourn section was a bit frightening with a few drops over the loch; then I did the John O' Groats Trail.....
It was more the ups and downs with tired legs, the path just kept on giving. Do you recommend the John O'Groats trail?
@@WalkWithWallace I don't know. It was the only trail I have finished that I was glad to be going home. Inverness to Helmsdale is pretty bland and Helmsdale to John O'Groats is at times terrifying. There are a lot of spots where one stumble would be the end of you. Having said that , they are working hard on it with signs and stiles etc but if you are going to do it, do it in Spring as in summer the undergrowth becomes a bit of a battle to get through in some spots.
Nice upload again, thanks for sharing , Like 47. Have a great weekend. See you soon again.
Thanks mate, appreciate it. 😁
nice score on the accommodation, but wow charging £10 for a shower!
Haha, aye a tenner was a bit steep, so I stayed in for ages washing my clothes too. 😆 Apparently it runs off a generator hence the price. They took £10 off the bill when we got the accommodation booked short notice.
Nice, see any eagles bro?
That was one thing I didn't see until the last day. 😔 Wearing a baseball cap doesn't help.
Stunning videos and scenery. Cape Wrath in title but when did you go there?
Hey Marella, it's the Cape Wrath Trail that starts in Fort William and finishes at the Cape Wrath lighthouse. I have broken up the videos into sections.
@@WalkWithWallace Hi Wallace thank you for the reply. Yes I know the Durness area well. I couldn't find it in your videos. That is the one I most wanted to see.
@@marellacoyle6999 ah sorry, my videos will take you there at the end.
@@WalkWithWallace Thanks Wallace I've just subscribed
@@marellacoyle6999 thank you. 😊
Did you reunite the camera with owner? Great videos btw
+Scottish Documentaries 77 I didn't in the end, I think he's a Polish national so probably didn't see the tweet I sent, got a few RTs too. No luck on the Facebook groups either.
How are you finding the tarptent notch?
So far so good, albeit its still to get some really bad weather thrown at it. I like the two vestibules and it's easy to get a nice taut pitch. 🏕
An annoying question how do you attach your BeFree to your sack?
The Flex Capacitor has a mesh bottle holder on each shoulder strap as standard. 😁
@@WalkWithWallace Thankyou.....
@@WildAboutCamping try Treadlite for after market ones:

@@WalkWithWallace Thanks
When did you do the walk? Doing it next year and was thinking April/May to avoid midges. Any advice appreciated. Great videos!
Hi Nigel, the walk was done in late April/Early May. I reckon this is the best time to do any hike in Scotland. No midges and best chance of getting a spell of settled weather. One caveat is there can sometimes be lying snow from winter on the high passes.
And you thought Line of Duty was addictive. Another cracking instalment. Aye a bit grey but still spell binding scenery. In the old days you’d have some one suck the poison oot of your backside. Not sure Ian would be up for that. A cottage to yourself ya dancer. Looking forward to the next one.
Haha DI Walk With Wallace. 🚨 Think you've mistaken that for snake poison. 😂 Cheers buddy as always. 👍🏼
@@WalkWithWallace Good shortcuts en route. Tents look like they are holding up well.
Looks good, did you get the bus😉😂😂🚶♂️🏴⛰🏕👌 only joking😎
😂😂😂 haha, we haled a water taxi from Sourlies to Kinlochhourn.
@@WalkWithWallace 😂😂😂, love it👍🏕🚶♂️🏴⛰👌
Should stick to left all the way round then cross the river, lol don't care about that bridge.
Do you mean stick left and hug the coast or stick right around the bottom of the hillside?
@@WalkWithWallace Sorry I ment stick to the right all the way round from bothy, plenty time to cut across river, plenty easy crossing points further around and avoid that quagmire. Cheers, enjoying vid.
@@johnmccarron gotcha, yeah you're definitely spot on there John.
The best way to the bridge I have found, after a few tries, (including the direct route and hugging the hillside). Is to follow the riverbank much better, even when there was no bridge.
@@garyredspeedster1389 did you follow the coast and salt marshes to pick up the river? 🤔
