Long distance trail Scotland | CAPE WRATH TRAIL | Wild camping in a storm ⛈️

[@jenniferhughes1321]

Oh GUYS! I was laughing at first with the toppling over and the brilliant comentary - but by the end had my head in my hands. Thank goodness you were in a bothy when that second storm hit. You two are Incredible and this is BRUTAL

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

🤓🤓 it’s such an epic trail, wish you could come join us for the second half in better weather! You would love it

[@nigelgregory7308]

I always say you are amazing Kerry, but Steve is an absolute trooper, love him to bits and hope when I get to his age I can do the same, go team Steve 👍👍👍🏕

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Steve is a legend 🤣 I hope I’m doing it at that age too!

[@nevertooldforwanderlust]

Thanks for your kind words. If you just hang there and do one step at a time you can go anywhere.

[@Walkingforhappyhormones]

I love your positivity despite everything that the trail throws at you. It all looks stunning and inspired by Steve, this trail is being added to my retirement bucket list. Great work guys, you are both awesome.

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Wow, thank you! 🙏 I agree, he is my inspiration x I hope I’m still going like that at his age

[@Philliben1991]

I did the WHW in really terrible weather and I ended up just taking off all my gear and walking in a t-shirt. There comes a point when you the less you have on, the less soaked you are!

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

🤣🤣🙌 This is so true!! I attempted this on some of the warmer days x

[@chrisbentleywalkingandrambling]

Kerry, you are a great person. As for Steve, if I can do half what you can do at 77, I'll be happy. What a gruelling hike in some tough condition. There is no rescue helicopter yet, so all is good. Another fantastic video. Thank you so much for sharing #notdeadyet

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Aww thanks Chris 🤗🤗 yes! Defo not dead yet lol glad you’re enjoying the videos x

[@DAoutdoors]

Hi Kerry, hi Steve. Brilliant stuff, keep it going. Total legends. 😃🥾⛰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👏

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Thanks so much 😃🙌 it was a tough one for sure when contending with the weather, but what a gorgeous trail! That part of Scotland is something else!

[@barrynicholson5804]

Thank you for sharing this video. Despite the difficult conditions you have highlighted how beautiful the scenery is as well as maintaining an inspiring degree of positivity and optimism. Last of all but certainly not least of all, you have a Heart of Gold, helping your friend realise his dream. God Bless

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Thank you very much! 🤗 so glad you’re enjoying the videos x it’s such a wonderful trail, I can’t wait to get back up there!

Very proud of you Kez, what a great achievement Steve. Massive well done both of you. Looking forward to part 3 xx

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Coming soon! 🤗🤗

[@nevertooldforwanderlust]

Thanks. We had a great time even when the conditions were against us.

[@deepsubmergence9357]

Kerry, that is one hell of a gift you gave to Steve. Steve, that was one hell of an achievement you accomplished. Well done to you both.

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Thanks so much 🤗🤗

Brilliant Kerry watching on the Rob Roy way in storm Babat ha ha

🙈🙈 eek hope you’re ok!! Sending best wishes x enjoy the trail, it’s so beautiful!

[@GusExplores]

This 1 is looking so hard the weather is throwing everything at you.

[@HiiKER_global]

That looks like hard work. Incredible spirit!

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Thanks so much 🤓 can’t wait to get back up there and finish it! X

[@kristaps2010]

Steve is very respectful 77 years old? It's called a bucket list, good luck with that. I am amazed of determination and stamina he has, although in this environment I would stick to lady like a burdock too. On similar note, my stepdad is 71, recently he did Hadrian's wall path, Coast to Coast, Wye Valley walk and keeps counting. Amazing. Some of older generation are tough and will live 100+, I'm sure it's not the last walk for Steve, good luck both. Thanks for cinematography work and sharing.

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

A huge congratulations to your Dad! What an achievement 😃🙌 yes I’m really hoping I will still be going strong at 77 years old too!

[@nevertooldforwanderlust]

This trail is just one of many I have done and plan to do in the future. I am just doing what I love doing so life is good.

[@stevesmith3990]

Just discovered your channel and can now binge watch all the older ones, great job!

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Welcome aboard! 😃😃🙌 ahh fab! There are some awesome trails I have filmed, I hope you enjoy the channel! I appreciate your support Steve xx

[@nevertooldforwanderlust]

We did indeed 🙂@@DrunkOnWanderlust

[@scoobysienna]

well done kerry and steve..looked very harsh, but not to be expected..due to the terrain..

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Indeed 🙈 when the ground is that saturated it makes for some very hard hiking lol

[@scoobysienna]

@@DrunkOnWanderlust I had same problem in sedbergh..walking on that grass stuff with bog underneath..going up 2000 feet.. probably the worse map I have followed on komoot..it wanted me to come down a cliff..I'm like wtf surely not..I reported the route..I imagine it was someone who got lost ha..these are the risks you take following other people's routes ..I'm off to do my own routes 2024

[@davidcressey]

I did the trail in May and I have to say that bit was by far the hardest. Well done, the rest is a breeze!

[@nevertooldforwanderlust]

I did the section to Shiel Bridge two years ago. I have been told its the hardest part but I am sure there will be many more challenges along the way, Can't wait.

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

This is good to hear! 😃 and congratulations for completing the trail x

[@wezboyes]

Wow, what a trail! If you do it again would love to join you!!!

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

That’s a lovely comment 😁 thanks so much x

[@leejohnson3209]

I love your positive attitude. I'd love to go hiking with you, but I think I'd struggle to keep up!

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Omg you should come!! I have all abilities in my hiking club, no pressure to go fast 😃 it’s the journey not the destination

[@GreatestCornholio]

That’s a proper old fashioned hike, no lovely paths and signs to help! Hats of to you guys for doing it, especially when the elements seem to be conspiring against you! Looking forward to the next part. Also just wanted to say thanks for the nice message that came with my great glen way medal I ordered from you recently! The medal has pride of place on the fridge and I’m hoping to add a lot more next year 😊

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Glad you enjoyed it 😃 and congratulations again for smashing the great glen way, it’s a wonderful trail! I’m heading back up to do the Loch Ness 360 in May so will get to do some of the trail again x

[@LundysWildcampBushcraft]

Steve is a true hero pushing on in this episode my hate go's off to him stunning place pity about the weather looking forward to next week's video atvb Jimmy 😎😎👍👍

Thanks Jimmy 😃 yes Steve is a superstar for sure 👌🏻

Well done looks ace! Definitely on my hit list for next year

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

It’s a great trail! You will love it x

[@macinthewild8116]

Top marks for pushing on through that weather! Did you take the Cicerone Guide? That helped me with some navigation decisions. Steve doing amazing, and you doing amazing with support and patience!

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Hi there Max, yes we did! But when Steve’s tent got flooded and almost washed down the river on night 1, it got soaked wet and ruined 🙈 so we chucked it away

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

The scenery is stunning. Great video Kerry 😊

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Thanks so much 😊 it’s a beautiful trail!

Ah Knoydart. What a great area it is. Took me back to my visit. Much enjoyed again. ATB

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Glad you enjoyed it 😍 we love it up there x so beautiful

[@iaincphotography6051]

Well done the both of you, the weather has not been kind to you guys and it makes any trail tiring. So to the next episode.

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Thanks Iain 😃😃😃 yeah it’s exhausting hiking in those strong winds x

[@AlanMETALMAN]

There is a lovey warm glow starts after a couple of minutes of getting your feet wet but if does not last long lol. Fair play to you both as I keep forgetting you are both a camping pack as well. Felt for Steve with you filming man down but no recording of the woman down, bit unfair, he should have had a go of the camera as well lol. I have seen and found a few things out on the trial before but (thankfully) never any dirty pants😵‍💫. Nice to see you getting a dry and sunny morning, not that the good news lasted long mind with that 'lovely' muddy and slippery ground. Ohhh 1mph, my favourite pace and you sure are the lyrical gangster🤣. Loved seeing the wild deer and you both must have had webbed feet when you got back and yep, I am also a glass hark full person too but there are limits and it looked like it was getting close to yours, that looked a mare! Take care, cheers Alan

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Hi Alan!!! Ahh don’t feel sorry for Steve 🤣 We both had cameras on us the whole time! But whenever I fell, he was laughing too much to be bothered to film it 😜 Yes the wet feet became routine so after a few days of it we just accepted our fate lol X I hope you are having a nice Autumn 🍂

[@thenextadventure8079]

What an adventure this is. Cap Wrath is certainly a huge challenge and with that weather it’s really testing, to say the least. We were in the Lake District when Storm Agnes came through and OMG did it rain. Keswick campsite was evacuated due to flooding and we struggled to get any decent walking/hiking done and filmed. Looking forward to part 3! Hoping Steve is still saying “I’m still alive” 😂

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Oh no! Hope you were both ok? 🙈 Yes the weather was pretty crazy lol x thanks so much for watching, I’m so glad you’re enjoying the videos 😃 xx

[@nevertooldforwanderlust]

Yes i am still alive and looking forward to more adventures. I hiked half the National Forest Way last week before abandoning the trail due to Storm Babet. Storms seem to be following me around, lol

[@fraserconnell21]

Loving the whole trail respect thing. Good job.. Tsi! #ain't karked it yet😊😊

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Ahh thanks 😂 still alive and kicking! That’s our motto x

[@nevertooldforwanderlust]

not dead yet @@DrunkOnWanderlust

[@Rodaportal]

The journey you embarked on, enduring the wild elements along the Cape Wrath Trail, is a true testament to your spirit and tenacity! 🌧💪 The rugged and untamed landscapes you encountered are breathtaking, and your humor and camaraderie shine through even in the toughest conditions. Thank you for sharing this unforgettable adventure with us! 🏞👏😄

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Wow, thank you, what a nice comment 🤗 thank you so much for watching and supporting the channel x

[@margaretolover3316]

Totally agree. Lost for words in admiration of what you both went through. Stunning scenery but my goodness - tough beyond words. Really hope when you go back to finish it, the Gods look down on you kindly as you so deserve it x

[@nevertooldforwanderlust]

@@margaretolover3316 Thanks. I cant wait to return next year to finish it. Third time lucky

[@AndyMacaskill]

I think that very windy night in the bothy was probably when I was thinking of you both (it was very windy here in Inverness too). I'm glad you were in a bothy! Enjoying the series, Kerry.

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Thanks Andy! Yes we were very glad we were in the bothy that night … but got caught in those winds again a few nights later when we were in the tents 🏕️

You are! ♥️

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Hi Mark 😃 thanks for watching x it’s an epic trail

[@IanCaldwell-r5s]

Well done to you both. Really enjoyed watching your vlogs. Very impressed that you carried on for as long as you did in such terrible conditions. Respect to you both. Super nice thing to have done Kerry to accompany Steve to make his dream come true and whilst you have had to push the pause button I have no doubt you will make it next time. You have inspired me to add this to my list. I retire next March so am looking forward to watching “take 2”. Will you pick up from where you left off or have a complete reset?

[@nevertooldforwanderlust]

Yes we will return to Shiel Brige and continue on from there.

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Thanks for the lovely comment, we hope to start from where we left off as I will need to arrange more time off work 🤗 but I’m really excited to get back out there and I know Steve is desperate to finish it so fingers crossed this time we will get him to that light house!

Just started watching the Cape Wrath. For info, the area between Glen Dessary and Barrisdale is known as the Rough Bounds. In his period in hiding after Culloden Bonnie Prince Charlie spent several weeks criss crossing this area avoiding the redcoat soldiers. By the way, a mountain pass is " bealach" ( bee -ah- lach) Duncan from Strathspey

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Thanks so much for the info Duncan! 😃😃 we can’t wait to head back up in June x

Great watch guys. You are both very inspirational people indeed. Crap conditions but you displayed great spirit and humour.

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Aww that’s a lovely comment, thanks so much 🤗🤗

[@DemiGod..]

With regard to being worried your tent would surivive, had a tent go down in the carngorms in a storm. Got hillebergs since then and never had to worry as they are bombproof. Currently have a 4 season akto and a 3 season anjan 2, both weigh under 4 lbs.

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Just so expensive 🙈🙈 I have a more heavy duty one, but took the big agnes as it only weighs 1.3kg and I was trying to keep my pack weight down …. But in this weather I wished I’d packed my other tent even if it’s twice the weight

[@chrishamilton2527]

My word, what stunning scenery. Hope you guys remembered your electrolytes. Amazing you both keep smiling under the challenging conditions. Well done to both of you. X

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Yes! Thank you! We made sure we had one everyday 😃😃 looking fwd to seeing you on the next hike x

[@keithmcguinness7913]

What can I say, you are an angel to look after Steve and make his dream come true. Can't wait for next week's episode. Take your time and keep safe.

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

I know right! It’s a great bench mark for us all to aim for 😃🙌 I’ll be dead chuffed if I’m still out doing it when I hit 77 x

Substitute one of the pairs of socks for a cycling waterproof sock then no more wet feet.

@@DrunkOnWanderlust you dont need to reply to this but the weather has been good and the midgies arent bad at all so you have a chance of an enjoyable wander when youre back up this way. the ticks are active though. neem oil dissuades them, and remove them carefully as Lyme is everywhere now. neems not bad for the midgies too but you know the craic, take a hood at least. i have a whole suit with mits and mesh socks and still get bites.
