Is this the Best Hike in Scotland? | 80 Miles on the Isle of Skye (part1)

The Skye Trail on the Isle of Skye is an 80 mile multi day hike through some of the most breathtaking scenery the world has to offer. The trail is often unmarked and precarious, it's also exposed to the ever changing weather so experience in hiking and navigation is essential. 👇👇👇

You’ve left me overwhelmed and emotional. Seeing Scotland has been my dream since I was young…now 72. You’re giving me so much, my legs can’t hike anymore. Thank you 💕

[@Majorroadworks]

Stayed on Skye in my motorhome, first night in Portree, set up, put up the awning for my step daughter & her husband, went into town, had a lovely meal. We settled in for the night then were awakened at 2am with some of the strongest winds I’ve ever known out of nowhere. The van was shaking, the awning was slowly turning into a flag & the dogs were going crazy. Those winds come from nowhere & vanish as fast as they arrive. Great video mate, love it.

[@andykeeble1]

I have called Skye home since 2019 when my wife and I moved up here from Leicestershire. It is the best thing we ever done as not only is it beautiful but also very spiritual. I feel that at long last I can breath.

[@EggleMacon]

aye they dont call it gods country for nothing.

[@northernswedenstories1028]

28:30 when you begin the b-roll and music with you stomping about in your Tesco bags 🤣🤣. Pissed meself

[@Bookstar125]

Am watching from the central Arizona desert. It is 75 degrees F at 9:30 P,M., and willĺ be high of 111F in 4 days hence. Want to praise you for the professional videographly skill you display in this Skye Trail adventure. You transport this 77 y old lady to the Isle of Skye, impressing me yet again with the wide range of your bushcrafting, hiking and communication skills. Thank you for sharing your infectious joy on this adventure. You have made us all feel we are there with you these nearly 10 years. My wish for you is that you have not regretted a moment of your channel, even though there have been trying times. In my opinion, channels of the quality of yours represent the best of youtube.

[@HazeOutdoors]

This is really lovely to hear, thank you so much mate 🥰

[@jamesatoneill]

Excellent. Sunday viewing highlight.

[@HazeOutdoors]

[@Mikeey1]

This is the first time I've been able to watch one of these long hikes as they're posted, rather than being able to watch them back to back. I'm not sure how I'll cope waiting for the next episode! You're such an inspiration, I hope one day I'll be in a position to do stuff like this too. Love it!

[@HazeOutdoors]

Thanks mate. I appreciate that

[@TheGavin27]

The time lapse with the aurora and shooting stars is mint ❤

[@lesa1378]

Start my multi day hike in the morning! I understand the excitement 😃😃😃😃

Tiz aluz a pleasure watching your journeys fella, very inspirational to a relative beginner like myself and I doth my cap to you for your continued support for mental health awareness and your openness about your own struggles. It goes a long way, trust me. Yours: Paul, a fellow sufferer 💚🤜🤛

[@DartmoorPaul]

I’ve visited Skye once and was blown away by the rugged beauty and can’t wait to return now that I’ve started this journey kindly shared by you. Thanks Hazey, your videos are inspiring and uplifting. 🙂

[@maidenwigan]

[@simonhopkins3867]

Wow that's absolutely stunning. It's very hard to find a comparison. Scotland UK ❤️

[@HazeOutdoors]

Scotland is the one

[@JustinWhiting9]

Well done getting to the start Hazey 👍 I did the ST on my little channel a few years back. Jaw dropping and emotional! The Trotternish Ridge is the hardest day I’ve ever walked. Proper Knackered.

[@HazeOutdoors]

Tune in for part 2 to see if it beat me 😂

[@MrsHuntontheTrails]

It helps if you have a partner who’ll carry two rucksacks on the really steep bits…….😂

[@markwalters2927]

I'm glad to see you so happy (27:33).

[@Nickydo111]

Really enjoyed that Haze. I used to holiday on Skye as a child and it's a staggering spectacle to see the landscape change around every corner.

[@HazeOutdoors]

I can’t wait to showcase the rest of the hike. It’s stunning!

[@RoamingQuinn]

Maaaate!!! Been looking forward to this 💪💪 Proper job pushing on after the “soaking” incident 👏👏

[@miserablecherry7651]

[@maurice5992]

Every now and again I come across a tiny bit of liquid gold on KZbin, that time-lapse sequence of the stars and aurora set to music was just such a moment, thank you....

[@HazeOutdoors]

You’re welcome mate

[@thefun-employedadventurer3011]

Amazing to reminisce the sky trail watching the OG hike it. I loved this trail it really is the top of my list so far...very special.

[@HazeOutdoors]

[@hoellenhund1000]

[@rogerhowis]

Love your videos you are the best!!!!!!!!

[@nealbe]

Good video Rick, I liked the med kit advice as well, I always take one out but I do leave it in camp when am off getting fire wood, a bit daft really considering that's when am at most risk 🤦. I am going to look into a on person kit, thanks for that rick great advice 👍

[@matthewcollis6259]

Multi day Hazy hike - get in! Bread bags and nav calamity to follow, bog foot galore with a healthy sprinkling of 'Mediiiic' love it

[@HazeOutdoors]

Cheers Matty 🫡

[@ianmorrison2882]

Haha the right foot bread bag . Someone will be searching for bigfoot great video as always

[@TheJBROWN21]

Great video, looking forward to the rest. I did the Skye trail last year and got incredible weather. Stage 2 was an absolute killer, also stage 6 around the coast is sketchy in parts, wouldn't want to do that in rough weather!

[@HazeOutdoors]

Stage 2 was a beast! But so stunning

[@jonathanwtea]

You had me in the first 30 seconds, Hazy. Your heart shines through in all you do. You’re a good man. Thank you for sharing. Please keep it coming as long as you enjoy it and let that be your guide. Peace, brother.

[@HazeOutdoors]

Beautiful message that mate. Thank you 💚

[@mickhorsley3169]

Cheered me up instantly knowing I've got this to watch later. Mediiic!!

[@HazeOutdoors]

Glad to hear it Mick

[@anthropolyte1]

Stunningly beautiful. The kind of landscape I absolutely love. Thanks for taking us along with you mate, been looking forward to this!

[@thepeakdistrictviking]

Great video. Love the Isle of Skye. Great choice of knife on the map time bit. Opinel are the best!!

[@tonydart425]

That looks like an amazing challenge with beautiful views, nice one Hazey 👍👍👍

[@HazeOutdoors]

It was beautiful! And very challenging

[@JasonMcCann841]

Wow! A true test but worth every step. Look forward to day 2.

[@HazeOutdoors]

Day 2 is Beauty!

[@happycycleboy6807]

Mr Hazy, yet another great video. Your videos are inspiring, thoughtful and can be emotional.....a joy to watch. Thankyou for the time it takes in editing and putting them out. Fabulous scenery. Looking forward to the rest. Cheers.

[@HazeOutdoors]

That’s a lovely message mate and very much appreciated 💚

[@nickgreen5695]

Calm down lord of the rings! Read my mind frodo... Stunning! Great vid as always....much love

[@HazeOutdoors]

It’s soooo LOTR

[@snacklofter]

27:00 That camping spot so reminded me of the sort 'Dave's Wild Camping' would choose!

[@spec-dad7824]

Some man💪🏻, can't wait for the next installment

[@HazeOutdoors]

Cheers mate! It’ll be out on Sunday

[@pilgrimspassage8834]

Just finished the WHW and missing it already. This gave me my Scotland, hiking, camping fix.... I thank you

[@HazeOutdoors]

You’re welcome. The WHW is a beauty, if a little busy

[@adamkoz6358]

Cannot beat thee old bag foot technique

[@seanstacey3223]

Fantastic mate! Have been to Skye recently myself, absolutely beautiful place. That Quirrang is something else, I loved walking that. Can't wait till your next episode! 👍

[@DARRBEV]

I love Skye, but you also make great hiking vids. Thanks

[@jonm4989]

Really enjoying this one Paul. It looks like a great trail.

[@marchamilton2501]

Another class video. I love watching your hikes and your camping videos, especially when I am down mentally they help me get my hiking boots laced up and get back out on the trails. keep up the good work

[@gravydavy4188]

27 minutes in when you showed how happy you were, fantastic. Makes me want to start doing these walks, im old, fat with bad knees but i reckon ill have to do at least one. ❤

[@HazeOutdoors]

Start small mate! You got this!

[@WiLLiAMOnline]

[@peteraitken6494]

[@HazeOutdoors]

Thanks! Part 2 is even more spectacular

[@antmod1]

Really enjoyed that. Can't wait for part 2. 🍻

[@HazeOutdoors]

It’ll be out tomorrow at 5pm mate 🕺🏻

[@davesfpv]

I feel like a small gate fixing kit needs to be added to your gear; tub of lube, split pins and any other bits the CEO of Latches and Locks feels necessary 😁 Cant wait for the next one!

[@HazeOutdoors]

It’s a valid point and one that I will take very seriously

[@tonywozere909]

love the skye trail and great to see you on it !

[@HazeOutdoors]

Great to be on it mate. It’s a stunner!

[@scotty811]

Stunning scenery, great video mate.

[@HazeOutdoors]

Cheers mate, it’s one of the most beautiful hikes I’ve done for sure

[@hoellenhund1000]

Inspirational in many ways! Can't wait for the parts to come - while sipping a beer in the hotel on a business trip...

[@HazeOutdoors]

Cheers 🍻

[@exploringww11northeastengl55]

Good to see you back out on the lang ones by the way them cliff trails had arse putting mind 😬

[@andykeast8920]

Just loved this. You are a joy.

[@HazeOutdoors]

I appreciate that mate thanks

[@NikkiEvernight]

Ah mate, so glad you went back! ❤ gorgeous isn't it !

[@HazeOutdoors]

It’s so gorgeous mate 💚

[@rjashton2]

Looking good - been up that way but not along that ridge, looks like part 2 could be epic! Well done getting to the start 💙

[@HazeOutdoors]

Part 2 is going to be a long one 😂

[@davemayers9342]

My Dad was up on Skye back in the '50's with his army mates. They were way up on one of the ridges, having a break for lunch, when my dad dropped his orange. It plummeted down the mountain side, spinning faster and faster until it smashed itself apart on the rocks way below. For the rest of the hike he couldn't get the picture of his orange, and how fast it went to it's death. Puckered poop shoots till dusk.

[@Skyemansthoughts]

As always, another truly enjoyable video. This time on my home island. Just I don't live there anymore. I'm a bit intrigued for next video to see if you bump into my brother as he regularly hikes and camps on the Quiraing and trotternish ridges. Keep on hiking lad...much love and respect.

[@kingrafa3938]

Thanks for the video Hazeo!

[@HazeOutdoors]

You’re more than welcome mate

[@antnewbon2673]

The what now, the minch. Bet you had fun with that one.

[@seannorcliffe2849]

Highlight of your video was calling 'medic' for the broken gate😂😂. Brilliant watch as always. Sean

[@HazeOutdoors]

Cheers Sean

[@crowtheri]

Well done Hazey lad! Some going that, 14 miles on your first day - rough terrain in parts. I have done the Flodigarry - Quiraing - Old Man Storr walk before. It's terrific. Hope the wind calmed down a little. Can nae wait for Part Two! Cheers, Ian

[@HazeOutdoors]

Cheers mate. Some stunning hiking to be had around there

[@cooperman8850]

There aren't many people who could get me to try a veggie camp meal but I'll give it a whirl

[@HazeOutdoors]

It’s one of the good ones mate

[@declanflaherty8958]

Thank you for the excellent video mate. It’s so easy to forget that it’s just one man and his camera…feels like you do a 360 and just for a sec you slip up and there is a crew of film makers there with you 😅. I appreciate you finding the energy and positive vibes.

[@HazeOutdoors]

I appreciate this mate thank you 🙏

[@philjones3335]

Brill you back out pal, love you and fern stuff and love that you happy but the multi day solo stuff is mint pal, mint

[@JSMCalder]

I’d love Super Ted to come a rescue me. He can bring Spotty as well. Great Sunday viewing. You should have your own segment on Country File with John Craven. All the best mate.

[@WorldSurvivalist]

Cool trip, been a few times but never did a big hike.

[@freddyoutdoors]

Ace watch mate looks amazing the views are epic

[@HazeOutdoors]

It’s so epic mate

[@alanwetherelt7155]

Wonderful stuff , had a walk on Dartmoor on way home to Cornwall today, met a old boy setting off on a walk for night on the moor

[@HazeOutdoors]

Lovely stuff mate 💚

[@alanwetherelt7155]

I hate to do it , but I put bread bags in the bin at work

[@johnywaffle1365]

Stunning 😍

[@craigframe3313]

Excellent buddy look forward to the next one. Would love to see a video of the meals you consume on these multi day treks. The daily calorie intake must be high

[@jojox5136]

Fabulous video thank you

[@HazeOutdoors]

No… thank you

[@TheJulioGeee]

Absolutely stunning landscape. I had money (20p) on you to mooch further on but I think you chose right to basha down next to that wall. Gan canny

[@hArtyTruffle]

Looks like dinosaur country. Stunning scenery. ⛰️❤

[@HazeOutdoors]

Remember you said this when part 2 drops 😂

[@carlymckean1116]

So funny you say this. I live close to the Angus glens (N.E Scotland) and I always feel like I’m going back to dino time when I pay them a visit 🦖

[@MisterChrisInTheUK]

Great as always, thanks! :)

[@HazeOutdoors]

Thank you mate

[@j1mp4t30]

Absolutely banging mate 👌

[@HazeOutdoors]

Cheers banger x

[@barkingatthemoon6256]

Great vid as always mate. Terrible I'm only a few hours away and only visted twice with the kids. Always been meaning to go up and get in some hiking in.

[@HazeOutdoors]

You should mate it’s well worth it

[@HappyDesert-gn2ch]

Couldn't sleep 2.30 am here in Adelaide South Australia 🙃🇦🇺 love watching your videos

[@mboutdoors_uk]

Evening lad! I’m ashamed to admit I’ve been away from your channel for a while after getting into boating in a big way. What a tit I have been 🤦🏻‍♂️ F***ing love this mate, what an incredible place Skye is, awesome vid! I’ll not be a stranger in future. Part two’s just been dropped so definitely watching these back to back. Much love ❤️

[@abstractgroove160]

I like those hotpot ones too but no matter how much digging and stirring I do there's always a big pile of powered crap in the corners!

[@HazeOutdoors]

100% of the time every time

[@williamforshaw8918]

Ahhh man I just did this back in the second week of May! Gutted to have missed you - what a trail right 🏔️

[@HazeOutdoors]

I’d have bought you a pint mate

[@williamforshaw8918]

Right in that case ... see you there in a week then! 😂

[@M_Bamboozled]

I was overwhelmed at one point: a rusty latch and a "medic!" in one shot 🤯

[@HazeOutdoors]

I know! I should have put a warning ⚠️

[@digofthedump]

hope you visited those skye landers with the 2 wee dugs ) . gl

[@BobRobertson-q7f]

Yasssss Hazey always bigging up oor bonnie Scotia❤‍🔥

[@HazeOutdoors]

It bigs itself up mate 🙏

[@sabrinabenoit3454]

I tried to walk from Portree to the phone box in early May but the weather wasn’t with me I had to skip the ridge because of the rain and the wind But it’s beautiful I’ll try it again next year Well done 👍

[@cmcc3721]

i've got family up there and i've visited many times over the years but it never grabbed me the way the West coast of the mainland did. Got to be honest tho, you've shown some different angles in this clip and it does look tempting. PS that brown in the water is just the peat. Probably cleaner than anything you drink out the tap....and it didn't start it's journey in one of those waste water processing plants :)

[@michaelbatterbee448]

Can ya see the wind 😂 looks mega there mr haze

[@HazeOutdoors]

The second camp was even better mate!

[@evacoutdoors5867]

Just finished it last week same route, check out the vid. At bottom ensure to camp at second bay after bothy, it’s awesome. There is a pool half way after Slagachan hotel. Ensure you to to Elgol and have the Elgolian sandwich from the seafood hut. Don’t miss the Torrin pools. Good luck

[@HazeOutdoors]

Great stuff mate! Thanks for the top tips

[@goingwildagain]

Just as well guy in red wasn't having a Ham shank all alone😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@rich755]

"cut t' drone shot" lost me a slurp of my coffee that did!

[@HazeOutdoors]

😂 I’m glad you’re as daft as I am mate

[@jim1380]

The pretend drone with sound effects was proper lol 😂

[@macstyle2012]

Are you doing the Pennine Way? Would love to see you do the complete route.
