CAPE WRATH TRAIL: A Journey through Scotland's Finest Wilderness | CWT hiking documentary | 4K

This documentary tells the story of the Cape Wrath Trail, the rough and wild Scottish Highlands, the long days of walking and wild camping and the interesting people I met along the way.
This film takes you with me on my walk in April and May 2023 and my experiences and encounters along the Cape Wrath Trail. Thanks to all the people who made this possible, especially the great people I met along the way and shared many days and evenings with on the trail - supporting each other and above all being that familiar friendly face after a hard day. I hope you enjoy this documentary as much as I enjoyed walking and making it.
Feel free to subscribe to my KZbin channel for more hiking related content. Unfortunately I do not post documentaries as often as I would like to - but I hope the quality makes up for the lack of quantity.
And a great thank you to REAL Turmat, Cumulus Outdoor, Osprey Europe and many other for supporting me in making this documentary.

* I used a fully custom made Cumulus Quilt 250 (with 900 cuin down, ultralight Toray 19gr/m2 fabric in and outside and a waterproof footbox and additional length and width). cumulus.equipment/eu_en/quilt... This quilt was provided to me by Cumulus Outdoor.

Wow you captured the emotional spirit of this journey. I am on my way to hike CWT for the second time today and watching you go back over the same places I once walked brought me to tears. Congrats for this wondeful film!

An outstanding film. One of my favourites on KZbin for this trail. 👏👏👏

[@joebadger]

Superb film. This is a serious hike, that boggy terrain is so tiring to cross. I bet the hot shower felt heavenly!

[@olgavankleef6962]

Nice video. We really enjoyed the scenery and great views. Music matched the pictures. We are considering to do the trail too. Thanks

[@floor_story1788]

Prachtige rapportage! Ik heb genoten. En... champagne in de titanium kookpot... ik vind het een aanrader!

[@starthiking2871]

Dank! En veel dank voor het kijken van de première. De champagne was toch wel een bijzonder moment zo uit een pannetje op een leeg en prachtig strand... was zeker de extra kilo glas waard!

This is such an amazing hike. I love to do it as my next hike in Scotland. Last summer i did WHW,Skye trail and Great Glen Way.😊😊😊 Thanks so much for the interesting watch

Mooi reportage, van begin tot einde genoten. Die beelden van Sandwoordbay riepen mooie herinneringen op😀

[@laurahimpers]

Wat een genot om naar te kijken, nu al heimwee na mijn tweede hike in the Highlands. Wie weet durf ik het ooit aan ook deze prachtige hike te maken.

[@janicemiddlemass5215]

Amazing journey, well documented, what an achievement 👏👏

[@CumulusOutdoor]

Amazing documentary and an inspiration for many hikers! How did our quilt perform during your trip?

[@starthiking2871]

It was amazing! Comfort wise I am really hooked on the quilt, I really enjoy the flexibility and room for freedom of movement. The quality of the quilt is superb, as I also experienced on my Cumulus panyam 450 I used before. Temperature wise I had one night down to freezing point and I was warm enough - although the Q250 (even with 900FP down) would probably be a bit too cold for consistent zero/subzero temperatures/hikes. Al in all I was extremely happy with it.

[@CumulusOutdoor]

We are more than happy to hear these words, and we hope that our products are still set to continue hiking with you. :)

Thanks for your company on the section between Sourlies and Kinloch Hourn 😀 It was great to meet you. Glad you made it to the Cape looks like the rest of your trip was good fun. By the end I was racing to get through before that firing range closure!

[@starthiking2871]

Hey! Thank you! That was a quite rough going stretch of the trail haha, I remember us finding our way up through the mud and drizzle like it was yesterday.. Unfortunately too wet for a lot of filming. The warmth of kinlochhourn soup and toast was a great reward though! Was great meeting you. Wonder how your pct adventure went!

[@BlueDragon00]
