Travelling SOlO Across ISLE OF SKYE In My LAND ROVER ( during winter )

[@Winterfell1066]

My wife and I are from Mississippi and have been to Scotland many times. We have hiked the Quirang on Skye and done the hike from Slighachan to the Fairy pools and back. We have also climbed from the car park to the Old Man of Storr. None of those hikes are too strenuous for Brits or Scots, but MS is FLAT. Very hard to get in hiking shape in MS. Scotland (and really, all the UK) has stunning landscapes. We love it.

[@GirlOutdoors]

Ah awesome! Would love to visit over that way one day 😊

[@Winterfell1066]

@@GirlOutdoors Well Mississippi (MS) is so pedestrian compared to the UK. Lots of just normal people. Nothing too fancy. We get a knock for the race relations in the past, but I think on the whole it is so much better here than in lots of places in the Northeast. We've come a long way. However, lot's of good food and music. Last weekend was the Juke Joint Festival in Clarksdale, MS. Tons of blues bands playing all over the town. Everyone mixes and has a great time. Best place to stay is the Cotton House in Cleveland, MS about 30 minutes away. We watched bands all afternoon and then ended up at the Ground Zero Blues Club (owned by Morgan Freeman and the heirs of the Bill Luckett estate). Really cool place. Derek St. Holmes, Dave Kiswiney, and John Whitehead (Ted Nugget Band on and off) played with support by my Brother-in-law, Scott Coopwood (Perfect Strangers, Yazoo Beach, Linwood, Bobalows, Shoebirds). We hung out all weekend, went to the real "crossroads" outside of Dockery Plantation. Those guys are real rockstars, but so nice and humble. They were a joy to hang around. If you are interested, Google Ground Zero Blues Club, Derek St. Holmes, Juke Joint Festival, etc. So much fun. MS gets hit for being probably the poorest state in the USA. True. But by some measures, California has the highest rate of poverty. There are more people in abject poverty in Los Angeles than there are people in Mississippi. We are mostly rural. Lots of flat, but green, fertile and gorgeous land. Super hot in the summer. More Scottish in the winter. Not too cold, but very wet usually. I think the mix of races and cultures, the hot weather, and just something else special makes Mississippi a fine place to be. Great art, artists, writers, and musicians. I have travelled so many places in the world for business and in the military. I love the food in the UK, both the traditional dishes and the food of the empire that is so fantastic. However, MS is actually a foodie destination. Too many great restaurants and hole-in-the-wall dives to be mentioned. I love your channel. I like the adventurous spirit you have. My son started the Appalachian Trail a week ago from the South. He is well up in North Carolina now and only about 2000 miles left to go. Best wishes from MS.

Thank you Becky. I'm very much hooked on your channel at the mo. You're so inspirational, impressionable and stunning in your own right. I mean that respectfully. You're way beyond your years and I've the utmost respect for you. Well done on all your achievements and many happy adventures ahead, I'm sure. I did the West Highland way at 16 and best week of my life, I can honestly say. 26 years ago. This is my 1st comment but massive appreciation and I'm sure to like every video. Also keeps me on track 😁 You're a super star 👌

[@maximugg]

Absolutely beautiful drone pictures!!!!!

[@steffenelgersma8262]

I’m really enjoying the content you create if I had to give a specific reason why I’m enjoying your videos I’m sure it’s because of your pretty smile that you greet us with on every clip thanks for the great Contant

[@Milessongs]

Becky, you find such excellent music for your B-rolls! Keep on rolling , stay safe out there!

[@DameEdnaBrown]

Great video Becky, you have such a great personality that I feel like I'm there with you

[@battletestedbeauty3758]

I'm from Canada, first time I toured Scotland I couldn't help but also find a lot of similarities between out west coast/northern Ontario and northern Scotland. And I feel you in not being able to put your finger on what exactly makes them so similar. IMO the landscape is if you moved our Canadian shied to the west coast and took all the trees out lol. LOVED watching this trek! Thank you!

[@oceanblue1886]

Loving your work and your approach to life!! Keep it up 👍

[@yasminlilyhilsdon]

Thankyou ❤❤❤ you are so inspiring xxxx

[@brickyard4313]

Wife and I are from North Carolina. Two years ago we hiked the Great Glen Way , Fort William to Inverness. We did not see even one piece of trash unlike trails we have hiked in the states. Truly enjoy your videos.

[@DavidMartin-gx8yl]

Hi Becky, that was wonderful from the excellent photography of how you managed to capture Scotland’s unique and beautiful landscape. And just the way to light up your videos with your amazing smile , passion and outlook on life to stay in the present moment. Obviously we see all of the above edited video and you do share some of the challenges of living your lifestyle which is great because life isn’t a 10 second video on Instagram or TikTok. Maybe you could do a one off video of behind the scenes detailing how much hard work you to put in to making your channel and your way of living. Looking forward to watching your next adventure. Take care. 😊x

[@moegardner1]

I was there in 1993 when they were building that bridge. There was a ferry that ran from Kyleakin maybe 15 minutes total , when I went it was completely loaded with sheep on the car deck. Midges were pure hell. The bridge workers smeared themselves with grease to keep them off. One of the few non rainy days though so it was all perfect.

[@teutonicAnon]

I can see you moving up here at some point, it really is something else. Moved up some three years ago and haven't looked back since.

Was on Skye for 5 days back during a 3 month solo backpack through Europe in 2015. Driving on the right in the UK took some getting used to, but I walked, trekked, hiked….all the spots. I was blessed with blue skies and sunshine each day I was in country. Cheers from Canada.

[@phild6124]

Becky, I finally figured out what your personality makes me think of. You are so comfortable in remote places. It's like you just crave the isolation like you remember a bygone age. I do believe in old soles and you have one I think. Your's is about from 3000 years ago and you remember the calm your life was then. Listen to the words carefully of the song that starts at about the 10 minute mark of this video. The words and the melody are all about you! We are so lucky to share your outlook on things. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. (PS. I'm 74 years old so I'm not hitting on you).

A most fabulous adventure and blend of Scottish sunshine and blistering winds and rain. Looked at the National Library of Scotland maps and despite finding Applecross and Fort William and the few roads, quickly became lost amongst the lochs and rugged terrain of the map. So appreciate the pleasure watching your adventure through the majestic Isle of Skye (while dry and warm with a cup of coffee). Safe travels on your adventures.

The Isle of Skye, also known as the "Misty Isle". You experienced the true nature of the place, It was good to hear a visitors opinion of my backyard, Torridon, although you were very lucky with the weather. Sun rises and moonlit nights are not common here.

[@DavidMeikle-ei7fr]

We are connected to nature as we are part of it but don't always recognise or appreciate the connection. No coincidence that we feel better when the Sun shines and miserable when it rains

This was great Sunday eve entertainment, catching up with another Becky adventure. Love the footage and music for the intro, delightfully atmospheric. Your facial expressions made me laugh when you were debating going for a walk in the hale, so honest and still very positive even in adverse conditions. I'm now wondering what you have booked, but for some reason I got to thinking it might be Nepal direction.

[@saintuk70]

As much as Skye is natural and beautiful, it's a shame that this natural beauty is now scarred by footpaths due to the erosion caused by the huge influx of visitors in the last couple of decades. It's nice seeing Skye in winter, it's almost the best time to go. During tourist season Skye is under immense pressure from visitors, as with a lot of our remote areas in Scotland.

[@royfontaine5526]

Skye has been ruined by tourism and tourists. My last time there was ten years ago - it has turned into a theme park and I can only imagine it’s even worse now 😢

[@saintuk70]

@@royfontaine5526 Skye is really struggling, same with NC500.

[@tonypaddler]

The bridge ruined it for me.

[@royfontaine5526]

@@tonypaddler Because of the romanticism of how it used to be disconnected? I first visited Skye on a family holiday in 1995 just before the bridge was completed, then in 2003 and it was still quiet then. But when I returned in 2014 it was horrendously busy. I don't believe the bridge has caused the massive influx, but it has certainly made the island more accessible.

Hello Becky! Hope you and Percy are well. I live in the beautiful land of Scotland, although I am from Yorkshire and have lived here for 8 years. Scotland is a place that somehow pulls at my spirit to want to get out there and see it all, which pull I often obey, I know I shall be here until I shuttle off this mortal coil. I have just found your lonely channel and have subscribed to it, why? Well I took a liking to you and your adventurous ways, your boldness and chirp. I have a motorhome and like you I travel the roads of this glorious land and on my own too, as often as I can get out. I have decided that I am going to look out for you and your green traveling home. Things I would like to know are these: do you live in the Land Rover totally, permanently all year round? If you do surely you must get cold. Also what made you give up on the rat race and to enter into a new way of life where you move to and fro? Sorry to be nosey. Good luck and please be safe on your climbing those Munroe's and glens. I feel sure I will bump into you some time. God bless sister. xx
