Hi everyone! Thanks so much for watching 😃 don’t forget to give this video a 👍🏼 sorry I can’t answer comments until tomorrow but please drop us a comment xx Kerry

[@stuartmays]

It could be worthwhile asking Girl Outdoors on her KZbin channel ,she did it on her own not that long ago.

[@grahamhaines9931]

That was the hardest call, but it was the right one. I loved following your trip through the highlands. Looking forward to part 2 in 2024. Thanks for sharing.

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Thanks so much for your support Graham, I hope you will enjoy the next instalment 😁

[@OldStag72]

Hi Kerry I've done the CWT twice so I thought I would add my tuppence worth. Take your boots. Take a pair of plastic crocs for your camp shoes and for river crossings. I'm a wee bit worried about you using shakes for food, but you are resupplying so it should be ok. Inverie and Ullapool are well worth diverting for. Especially Ullapool which has an outdoors shop and a Tesco. ( and pubs) If you don't fancy the Falls of Glomach you could walk from Morvich/Shiel Bridge to Dornie and then up Glen Ling, I did this both times. Use the bothies, even if you are just camping outside them, being in out of the rain is great for morale. If the going is tough further north you can roadwalk from Kylesku to Scourie then Kinlochbervie. My biggest tip is to spend your night before finishing camping at Sandwood Bay. Standing on the beach and seeing the Cape Wrath lighthouse come on as darkness fell was a great feeling for me. Best of luck to both of you!

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Thanks so much for your message 🤗🤗 some really useful tips there! And wow, a huge well done for completing it twice 🙈🙈

[@kevinbungles]

Awesome that sleep bag bag looks really cool 😂

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

It has done me proud 😝

[@davidmackie8617]

Kerry after you get to the Lighthouse, you have to travel a few miles down to Kearvaig Bothy, one of the most beautiful views in Scotland, oh yeh, the name of the man who runs the Lighthouse at Cape Wrath, John Muir.

[@penny6658]

What an exciting adventure. And so lovely that you are committed to helping Steve achieve his dream!! So sensible - just the 2 of you. The more people involved, always the more complicated it becomes! Really good luck - you both deserve it. Have a great time. Can't wait to see the videos! Oh, and the haters....... what is it with these people? I love that you and Danni still make the effort and do your trails as glamour girls!! Take the make-up - be true to yourself. :-) x

[@DAoutdoors]

Hi Kerry, you’ve forgotten the kitchen sink🤣🤣 Good luck to both you and Steve on the trail. Really looking forward to to seeing you both on the Cape Wrath Trail. All the best and good luck. Dave 😀🥾⛰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@trevorphillips8727]

Put your talc in a zip bag, use your sports tape on your heals will stop blisters and Vaseline on your toes. Good luck and have fun.

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Great idea!! Thanks Trevor 😃😃 I’ll defo try the sports tape on my heels, great thinking

[@andrewohare7055]

Good luck guys, looking forward to the videos.

[@stonemarten1400]

Strongly advise you to take a storm-proof tent and extra wet weather clothing with fully waterproof boots and socks for the Cape Wrath Trail - I have a premonition it could get really nasty up there! 😮❤

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

We’re going to look at our gear better for next time! Thanks for the advice x

[@S.p.a.c.e.C.o.w.b.o.y]

All the best on the trail Kerry and Steve, can't wait for the video's. 😊

[@iaincphotography6051]

Hope all goes well for the both of you, happy days folks.

[@martyl425]

massive respect to Steve.

[@497derek]

Waterproof socks are a godsend in Scotland

[@paulhuggan-cammack2928]

Kerry, take some midge coils, they work extremely well. That's a lot of weight you are carrying, cutting it down would be very beneficial. You really don't need all those stuffbags. A pack liner, and pack cover is the way to go. 😊

[@davidalexander287]

I am thinking of a pack liner with stuff sacks. I like to keep my stuff separate. Sleep, Clothes, and Food. For me, without stuff sacks it would be a lucky dip.

[@modestadventurers]

Pack weight doesn’t matter as long as your capable of carrying it. 13kg 😋 All the best for you and Steve. Smash it guys.

[@Rodaportal]

Kerry, your preparations are impressive! 🏞🎒 It's evident that you've thought through your gear thoroughly. Packing for such a journey is no small feat, but you've got it all under control. Wishing you both an incredible adventure filled with breathtaking landscapes and unforgettable memories! 🌄👣🏕

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Thanks so much! 😊 yes we are getting very excited for it now

[@dannidsc]

She’s so strong! You’re gonna smash this trail baby 🤗🤗 and Steve!!! Xx

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Thanks angel x I will miss you loads though x

[@dannidsc]

Will miss you crazy amounts 😢♥️

[@UrbanRatsAdventures]

Hi Kerry was good to see your kit and I’m sure u will get Steve to the lighthouse and big shout to Danny for the rucksack and will she get me 1 😄 So good luck your Amazing and I will be looking for the video 😃🥾⛺️😘

[@ShanOutdoors]

Good luck you two!

[@beanser1]

can't wait to see this adventure Kerry ❤

[@jordanjackson9598]

Good Look, Kerry and Steve! You got this!!! ❤

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Thanks Jordan 😃😃 miss your face x

[@eddiefitz1970]

Hope everything goes well and remember you can also send kit back home at your resupply point that you’re not using if your pack is heavy so good luck 🤙

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Good tip! Yes I did this on the Bob Graham round :) xx thanks so much

[@UrbanRatsAdventures]

Your Awesome will watch this Tomorrow 🤩

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

You rock!

[@UrbanRatsAdventures]

@@DrunkOnWanderlust 🤩🤣😂🥾

[@joolsdeb6256]

Take what keeps you happy......I'd drop the spare trousers and joggers for long running shorts and leggings which you could replace either. Total saving enough for extra snacks 😊

[@phill2383]

Just completed the Two Moors Way with my girlfriend. Depending on what solar charger you have (I have the decathlon 15w) we took a power bank each and had phones in flight mode. The Solar panel worked really well even on cloudy days. Good luck to you both. Sounds epic. Phill

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Thanks Phil, yes my solar panel works ok but it’s heavier than a power bank and can’t be used in wet weather …. I have a feeling it’s going to be pretty damp up there 🤣🤣 so I’ll leave it this time! Massive well done for you both for smashing The Two Moors Way!! I’m looking into that one for next year, I did the Dartmoor way in April and loved it! X

[@deepsubmergence9357]

The 10 essentials? Nice pack, my backpacking pack is an Osprey that weighs over 2 kg., so I'm looking forward to hearing more about your ultralight pack. You can do this Steve...I'm rooting for you.

[@AgnesMcKnight]

Enjoyed video. Have a great time and both of you be true to yourselves. Looking forward to seeing the trip.

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Thanks so much! 🤗 we are getting very excited now! Not too long

[@AndyMacaskill]

Thinking about you both out there in these winds. It's blowing a hooley right now.

[@charlottemorrison9074]

Good luck out on trail. You two will smash it!! Officially!!

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Thanks lovely lady 🤗🤗

[@SOULBISCUITS]

Just recently started watching your videos, your pack weighs a ton so many ways you could massively bring your weight down. That said you are a wee savage on those trails so i think you will nail this not a problem. Hope you get a good break in the weather, September can be a toss of the coin weather wise. All the best from Scotland 👍🏻

[@adventureawaits9034]

Would using a citronella tea candles in the porch of your tent keep the miges out? Or for that matter the smell inside tent keep them away long enough so you can unzip the door to get inside, with out the buggers following you inside? Also your make up will attract them, so what make up do they not like. I think it's great your bringing it. Because you like our very own science project. Just like skin soft that kept the flys away, you might stumble across other products that do the same, I am also sure there are other women out there that need there make up too. Besides there are two important things others must understand. You hike your own hike and its your load not there's, also a heavy pack will slow you down, especially on mountain climbing sections, so it will make it easier for Steve to keep up. All positives :)

[@andyash3398]

Good luck guys you got this we are with you every step 💞

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Thanks so much Andy, always glad if the support 🤗🤗 xx

[@AndyMacaskill]

One thing I would say as someone who has a copper spur hvul 2, they are not good in wind, which you may get a lot of at this time of year. I'm hoping the current weather is a sign of an Indian summer. Especially for the two of you! All the best with it, Kerry!#gethimtothelighthouse

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Hi Andy, Yes I agree! We had severe storms in April on The Dartmoor Way, the tent held up but I have now swopped some of the tent pegs for more heavy duty ones I think if I angle the tent with the back facing the wind it holds up better .. but one of my poles did bend slightly 😂🙈 fingers crossed it will be ok! Thanks so much for watching

[@sam.midford]

I'd see if you and Steve can share some items (ie cook kit) so you aren't doubling up and ditch some of the stuff sacks - if you have time to get a nylofume liner will keep yr kit waterproof and weighs nothing!!. Good luck goggle friend (also vaseline round the eyes helps if they get sore in wind!). Also smidge. Go on Steve!

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Thanks for the tips! I’ll defo have to try the vasaline 😃

[@destinationduo_]

Loved this one! Great video x

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Love you baby ♥️♥️

[@dannidsc]

@@DrunkOnWanderlustlove you ♥️♥️♥️

[@PaulaRichy]

You’ll have a great adventure, enjoy it 😀. As the terrain will be rough I’d wear boots for ankle protection.

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Good call! Thanks so much 🤗 really excited for it now x

[@phil.clarke]

Good video - I enjoy watching these to help give me ideas. I am also looking forward to a video after you have got Steve to the lighthouse of what worked and what didn't. Anyway, I prefer boots as, in my opinion, they give me ankle support especially when carrying heavier packs. But each to their own.

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

You and me both! I think I’m defo going to take the boots, and yes I’ll do an after trail video for sure x Thanks for watching Phil 🤗

[@mosfear]

Enjoy your trip. Does your tent utilise no see um mesh as regular bug netting isn't necessarily tight enough to keep out Scottish midges? No Skin So Soft?

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Ahh I’ve picked up some Smidge now so hopefully that will keep them at bay a little bit 🙈😂 we will find out!! X

[@petedixon7590]

Hi kerry you see that wire fence in the background of this video?? I think you should gather up as much of that kit as you can in both arms walk back to that fence lean over as far as you can and let it drop over into the long grass then pack what's left bearing in mind you'll be carrying about 10 days minimum food you got to much crap. And your going into a wild space with an older guy who may not be able to help you with the weight if it's a problem. Just my thoughts 😊

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Hi Pete, thanks so much for your comment x I hike a lot of long distance trails, this will be my fifth this year. I’m used to carrying this weight, I carried 20kg on the WHW I’m stronger than I look 😜 I’ve never asked for help carrying weight, if anything …. I help other people by taking extra kit off of them if they struggle I completed The Snowdonia Way Mountain Route which is roughly the same distance but with more elevation I had a heavier pack than this x Have you done this trail? If there was any particular items in my kit you would recommend swopping out for something from experience, please let me know Thanks for watching Xx Kerry

[@dannidsc]

@@DrunkOnWanderlust💪👏👏♥️

[@LundysWildcampBushcraft]

I was shocked that your pack Wight is only 15kg not a bad Wight 5hat Kerry have a fantastic adventure looking forward to seeing your video's mate atvb Jimmy 😎😎👍👍

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Thanks Jimmy! Yeah not a bad weight tbh, I was thinking it would be much more with all the food 😄

[@GreatestCornholio]

Look forward to seeing the video when you are done, I hope you both have a great time! If you haven’t tried the real field meals, you should check them out in the future, they are expensive but I honestly couldn’t go back to the cheaper ones now I’ve tried them.

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Thanks for the tip! 😃I’ll have a look x and yes thanks, can’t wait to get going now

[@skyblue-df2od]

Gap in the market for a noiseless wee thingy 😅 goggles excellent idea, where did u get them please? great stuff 👍

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

I know!!! 🤣🤣 it does make me laugh every time I use it x the goggles were just cheap off Amazon, I think it was 2 pairs (one polarised) for £8 or something … but they have been very handy

[@hikermikem8]

😁👍 Really enjoyed this video kerry and Steve. I'm shaw you'll both have a great time. Steve is a very experienced hiker as you know, so nowt to worry about. As for the packweight. You've gone fir reliability and comfort not ultra lightweight I want to break speed records kind of thing. Looks good to me 15kg all in for a start of trail weight is good kerry. The huel food supplements are good, high in calories and vitamins which your body will need plus the electrolytes which I swear by 😁👍 Have a brilliant adventure you two 🤗 #gethimtothelighthouse 👍👍 Be safe, have fun and see you again dizzy x 😁🤗

[@margaretolover3316]

Oh Kerry, how fabulous - what an adventure and fun time you will both have. Can't wait to see the first video. I personally think 15kg is excellent considering, the things you are carrying and as you say it will get lighter each day. There isnt anything I would leave behind. I personally would definitely take some camp shoes. It really is bliss to take off your walking boots/shoes at the end of the day. Safe travels 🥾⛺

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Thanks so much! 😊 and yes I think I will definitely pack some camp shoes x good call

[@endurance-adventures]

Sounds like you're well prepared Kerry - it should be a fantastic adventure! Just out of interest, are the Huel Hot and Savoury meals dehydrated? X

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Yes they are! But they don’t come in individually wrapped portions, you have to scoop out of a bag into zip lock bags 🤗

[@Junkorgem]

What hiking hat is that?

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Ahh this is just a peaked beanie hat I grabbed online but I love it, warm and the peak helps in the rain 🌧️😄😄

[@KeefandCo]

Great video !

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Glad you enjoyed it 😃 hopefully it will be a fantastic trail too! X

[@theferalscots6195]

You'll need a wetsuit and a divers helmet 😁 Take decent gaiters 👍

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Good call! 🤣🤣🤣 the divers helmet will also keep the midges out! I like your thinking

[@markholleran9994]

Skin soft for 2 keep the midges away

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

I packed some smidge, but luckily I didn’t need it!

[@paulc3804]

You’ve forgotten Danni!!!!!

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Awww she didn’t fancy coming on this one unfortunately 🤗 but she will be back on more trails in the future! X

[@nigelgregory7308]

Wow Kerry you are amazing, I'm not being fussy about this, we all go outside, I appreciate it can be awkward for a woman, you showing ways to pee in a tent, you showing that you pack tampons, why should this be an issue, I used to do the weekly shop , the lady at the checkout never asked a question, we are adults, let's stop being in the playground as teenagers, love what you do, have a good trip, ❤️💕💕👍👍☕️☕️☕️☕️ Nige,.

[@jamesalexander4926]

The midges will get you.

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Yes, I believe they will 🤣🤣🙈🙈

[@BENTWOONEZERO]

Get a Lanshan 1 pro, you will 500 grams at least.

[@497derek]

18kg

[@AlexAdam65]

What can you add to meals except coconut......that makes me vomit as much as salt does!!! I know....am weird!

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

@@AlexAdam65 you can add any kind of protein… nuts, seeds, meat, dairy or protein powder

[@marksadventures3889]

12.86 kg is my guess. Aww poor Steve didn't get the sponge bath.

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

I wish it was 12kg 🙈🙈 but it will get lighter as I eat my way through the 3kg of snaaaacccckkkks

[@nigelgregory7308]

He must have deserved a few, Kerry you need to look after your team, 🦽👍☕️☕️
