Trekking Solo in the Scottish Highlands | Cape Wrath Trail Finale!!

After 17 days of trekking and 7 videos later, I'm sad to say that the Cape Wrath Trail is finally over. Thank you so much for joining my journey through this rugged landscape of the scottish highlands, over mountains passes, through glens, river, bogs and small villages - I finally made it to that iconic lighthouse that sits on the remote and desolate shores of Cape Wrath (UK's most north westerly point)
This has had to be one of the most enjoyable and challenging experiences of my life and I loved every second of it! It was so nice to come home to a dry bed and clothes, a hot shower and some wholesome food but the trail still yearns within me and that easy and beautiful way of life I led for over 2 weeks.
Scotland had so much to offer and I loved backpacking solo through the remote sections of it. In this episode, I hike from Rhonich where I wild camped the night before over to sandwood for the night, where I went for a swim! Then my final day... to the Cape Wrath Lighthouse and back.. one of my hardest stages.
Was lovely meeting so many nice people along the way - you know who you are! Thank you for making this trip even more special. Also, thank you for all the amazing comments, its so lovely to hear :))

That noise at the start wasn't a stag, it was me wailing that this series is over. It has been a fantastic series, beautifully filmed & edited. I've done multi day trips with heavy pack so I take my hat off to your physical & mental endurance & still managed to look beautiful throughout. So proud of you Becks as I bet your family are xx

[@GirlOutdoors]

Hhaha! Aw thank you so so much!! x

[@philnoakes505]

Absolutely inspirational Becky. I'm nearing 67 and I'm so pleased that there is a new generation that enjoys our beautiful country and all that it has to offer those that have the senses to feel it x

[@ashmaybe9634]

Here here! I'm two decades behind you Phil & I too am happy to see younger folk enjoying wild camping and sticking to the leave no trace principles. I was doing this back in the 1980s and the equipment has improved such a long way, although interestingly, a good 4 season, 1 man tent is still extremely similar in design and weight to the one I bought for £110, 33 years ago :)

[@slick_slicers]

Watched the whole thing from beginning to end, and loved every moment! You have so much charisma, enthusiasm and joy in what you’re doing! I can’t wait for your next adventure. Being in a wheelchair, I can’t hope to emulate what you’ve done, so I just have to experience it vicariously, through you! Thank you Becky, you’re brilliant!

[@GirlOutdoors]

Aw thank you so so much!!

[@stebig1960]

I’m also a wheelchair user and I get tips from shows like yours to see where It might be possible to go thanks, keep safe and keep the videos coming 👍🏻

[@TheFord1957]

Wonderful journey Becky. Certainly one of the most, challenging, if not the most challenging walks in the UK. Your completion of this walk and the compelling quality of your content is, like Haze Outdoors and Hounds of Howgate a true inspiration to us all. A journey that is too severe and challenging for some ( including myself) but there are many long distance walks in the country that can become our own Cape Wrath trail and get us out into the great outdoors. Keep making quality uploads of your adventures Becky, and we'll keep watching and enjoying them. Pete x

[@Ginobili17]

My dearest congratulations for these video series. They summarise perfectly what trekking and hiking means and you were able to show it brilliantly. You carry the explorer spirit and hopefully thousands of people will be touched by these videos.

[@scn017]

Fair play! You made it look easy 😃 Haze made it look impossible! 🤣

[@A4DJL]

Becky, I have really enjoyed watching the Cape Wrath Trail videos and not only is this an epic achievement, but you do it with such a positive and cheerful demeanour, it is truly inspirational. As a Scot for whom a 230 yard hike would be quite an adventure, you have demonstrated what is possible with sheer willpower and determination, no matter how harsh the conditions you face. Keep the videos coming and I am looking forward to following your next adventure, wherever that may be. Best wishes, David

[@jonm4989]

Inspirational stuff Becky, not just this trail but following your heart and building up your channel. I’ve no idea about the economics of developing a KZbin business, but I’m sure it’s not easy and I expect and hope you’ve got to the point where this could give you a living. I really like that your vlogs come across so real and honest. I never get the impression that any of your content is aimed at enticing subs. I really think you should feel very proud of everything you’ve achieved.

[@yoramalon5273]

Glorious. Becky would say lush. Becky reminds me of my quests to the dark realms. It is so refreshing to look at life through becky's eyes. I feel that by watching Becky, i gain a better perspective on my life. Somehow Becky puts me in my rightful place, bettering my outlook on life. I think i owe a debt of gratitude.

[@stpetie7686]

I know I'm late but I just found the channel. I just wanted to say thanks for the daily map updates. They added a lot and took away the frustration of watching a video and having no clue as to where it was taking place. Perhaps not a big deal for everyone but being able to follow along added a lot. So Thanks!

[@deanmc178]

a big well done becky ,, you really nailed it , look forward to the next one

[@brandonb.5304]

Congrats on finishing the trail and filming a fantastic series. The longest trail I've hiked was 3 days, so I can't imagine hiking for weeks, especially during the inclement weather you experienced. Absolutely amazing perseverance! Your positivity is infectious and that smile radiant. :)

[@guy0725]

Thank you so much for letting us walk with you on this incredible adventure. The videos, the shots and videos editing , it’s a lot of work, thank you. Everything was so perfect. Congratulation !!

[@lincspreparednessandoutdoo2648]

Well done Becky what a gorgeous inspirational young woman you are, the world would be a whole lot better place with more people like you in it.

[@edgray8305]

I have enjoyed every moment of your adventure and reading the page from the guidebook summed it so well. Your filming has been awesome and you have created a beautifuly crafted adventure video of the Cape Wrath Way.

[@leistungsmayer2860]

Oh yes, that handdryer was pure luxury😂 Thanks for the shoutout, was lovely Meeting you, too!😅

[@davepilko66]

What an expedition 👍from a 55 year old fart who's climbed and hiked in the Falklands, everywhere in the UK etc hats off to you for this one, I just think it's awesome someone your age has the determination and resilience to do this and film it for us to enjoy-your a star. I'm hoping my little 6 year old will get the bug too😅🤞👊👍

[@markwilliamson9140]

You're an inspiration to many Becky, bless your heart ❤ 😊

[@tommym1966]

So chuffed for you Becky. What a great achievement! Seeing the notification pop up that a new episode has arrived has been a real tonic. Looking forward to seeing your next adventure.

[@warrenstanford7240]

Camped next to the sheep pen at Sandwood Bay with my then thirteen years old son about thirteen years ago, It was sunny but very windy when we arrived it was awesome on the beach then had to run for the tent as a storm rolled in! Great achievement that you will always regard with pride and forget all the pain!

[@kevholohan908]

Absolute massive congratulations. You are a true inspiration. Enjoyed every step. I'm 63 done a bit of walking but hey the youth of today eh. Brill.

[@hellohello3199]

I’m so jealous of the guys that saw you running out

[@michaelfk2548]

Well disserved sea dip not too shabby ....Great series take care lass !..

[@krisshensley9388]

You are simply AMAZING! What an accomplishment! How could you ever doubt yourself again?! Regardless of the ups and downs, you always talk of how stunning life is if we are willing to live our dreams. You have thousands of admirers around the world. Please, never doubt yourself. You are already far more accomplished than zillions of people who have doctorate degrees ... in whatever. You teach us by your determination, kindness, appreciation, and never-give-up attitude. You're definitely doing something right!!!!

[@davidvaughn7752]

I agree and couldn't of said it better! Great comment. It's fun to read through some of the comments and see that people can be so inspired and that the world has some bright spots in it.

[@alanbrooks5737]

An absolutely amazing achievement Beck's, been a joy to watch, thnx so much.

[@kateunused]

appreciated the hike beginning to end; your attitude and sense of adventure are to be applauded! Liked the scenery; remember the constantly changing weather in Scotland; nice to see those stags on the ridge; the rainbow and your cheerful smiling commentary, thanks

[@brngrofdeth]

Becky... this was a super epic journey you managed and glad we were all able to join you for it. You may not have noticed during your trek but the camera doesn't lie. All of the while you were walking the entire trail, as you passed, the flowers began to bloom behind you. The fish started spawning and the deer were breeding. Like a ray of sunshine on the darkest day. Truly an angel sent from above! So freaking amazingly beautiful. Super love and blessings from Ontario Canada! I love you!

[@WizWise]

Thank you for posting this video. Brought back memories of 1979 when a group of us from I M Marsh (Liverpool University) camped at Sandwood bay (pretending to be doing some field studies) for 2 weeks. Some of us climbed that sea stack, with a Tyrolean traverse over the sea approach. We paddled kayaks into the beach from Kinlochbervie, but had to carry them out overland due to bad weather, lol. Thanks again for sharing.

[@butchbinion1560]

Now that travel is open in the USA you should plan a Appalachian trail hike. Enjoy these videos. ✌️👊

[@nigelhorton1115]

Fabulous - Smashed it out the park!

[@supertrowel1]

👏 Welldone Becky I have really enjoyed watching this trip.Mr and mrs bushwhacker must be very proud of you👌👍🌎❤️

[@geoffsimpson6959]

OMG Becky that was absolutely awesome watching you complete what is obviously a very serious undertaking. You are an inspiration, bringing joy and such enthusiasm through your infectiously charismatic delivery!! Can't wait to see what you tackle next. Brilliant!!

[@sparkplugsteve402]

Love how your confidence has grown and the channel has grown with you , keep up the great viewing through the long winter.

[@EdExploresScotland]

Loved the series. How you can manage to smile with such blisters is beyond me. I'd be scowling at everything. Reminded me of the many long-distance walks I did a while back. I never camped or anything; just B&Bs or hotels. Try the St Cuthbert's Way, which ends on the island of Lindisfarne. That first view of the sea is guaranteed to bring tears. Take care.

[@martink9785]

Congrats! Thank you for the great adventure

[@MrSteveMG]

Brilliant achievement Becky, I've walked every step with you from start to finish ..thoroughly enjoyed the adventure :o)

[@DartyD]

Becky this has been a great 👍 series really enjoyed it 👏 keep up the good work 🔥🌲🏞🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⛺

[@redsorgum]

Excellent little series, I bet Buster and Bushwacker man were very jealous……🤣👏👏👏

[@ianhiker4046]

Well done Becky, what an achievement and the best series on the CWT I have found. The way you cope with the weather, navigation and decision making does you credit. Your videos will be a great help for my planned CWT in the next year or so when I attempt it for my retirement celebration. Take care.

[@TheArneSaknussemm]

Watching this camped on Moel Siabod...waiting for snow...the series has kept me entertained over the long dark evenings. Congrats on making it!

[@DavidMartin-gx8yl]

I’ve just finished watching you complete the Cape Wrath trail. Congratulations and a huge well done to you Becky. You are an inspiration to me and I’m sure many others. I’ve done a few day hikes and would love to have a go at something like this,although I’m not sure if I could do it as I’m 57 years old. I have promised myself that I’ll go to Sandwood Bay one day. Started watching your Outer Hebrides trip now 👍. Loving it. Keep them coming Becky. Enjoy your day 😊x

[@weebob0328]

Well done lass your such a brave lass doing all those miles on your own, your a real trooper love your videos also your dad and mum in there Bush tucker trails 👣 well done super family great content 👍 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙

[@paulhumph7910]

Inspirational and beautiful! Definitely going on my bucket list. Like all good series, it left the viewer desperate for more. Can't wait for the next notification. Good work Girl Outdoors!

[@astracash]

What a journey, it was a real treat every few days to see your progress, I reckon you will have inspired a lot of people to get outdoors and see a wee bit more of our beautiful landscape and for that you should be really proud. Good luck and I look forward to your next adventure. Thanks.

[@ashleyhoward8926]

Well done Becky, a tremendous achievement in every way. You've either done it or you haven't & you've showed the world what you're made of all right. Your cheery youthful spirit & tenacity are a pleasure to see. There's not a thing on the telly to match this, You have a bright future in your chosen career & we applaud you.

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thanks so much!

[@mistymountains360]

yep brilliant kiddo .. absolutely brilliant ..and you've made good use of all the other guys and girls idiosyncrasies and stole the best bits and rolled them all into one person .. imitation is the best form of flattery so well done and thank you for making my day , 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 I'm in Scotland , Glasgow and from now on you're an Honorary Scot and that is official as I am King Arthur .. ciao now

[@kevinw1129]

Well done Girl Outdoors. Super effort. I live in the North Highlands and know the ground you’ve covered well. Not easy country to cross with a large pack. 👏

[@Hamook]

Nice 😍👍🙏

[@stevetaylor8446]

What an adventure Becky.....hardcore from start to finish and you rose to the challenge and had some amazing experiences along the way. Don't know about the skinny dipping bit, the thought made me wince at the thought and how painful I bet it was lol. Still, another memory made for posterity. Proud of you mate, well done

[@geeetube1]

WOW... I cant believe your massive adventure is over. You are simply magnificent and an inspiration. I cant wait til you release another series. And in a couple of years your van life adventures. Im just as excited for them as I am for the new Expanse season. Take care buddy :)

[@FurrychalkbagOutdoors]

Well done Becky.!!! Fantastic achievement.!!! Plus you smiled all the way through it. Well done again 👏🙂

[@richrowley8355]

Massive respect for completing it and also for creating a compelling series to watch. The combination of your dialogue from the guide book and cutting in your sequences was brilliant production. Just going to watch the overview. Nice one

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

I’ve been swimming at Durness a few times in April. It’s bloody freezing 🥶. It’s also a very gradual slope to get into the water. About 100 metres out and it’s only up to your knees so that means you can’t just “get out” of the icy waters. Total respect to you Becky you are an inspiration. Much love - Dave 🙏🏻

[@ldosucowboy3279]

Can only imagine how emotional it was for you reaching the light house. I am a quite old guy and I teared up watching you! Just fantastic. As I watched your journey I also pondered how healthy the outdoor natural life-style is. you must be using so much energy each day, yet your calorie intake didn't seem that great. The fresh air and natural way seems to be the best
