Trekking Solo In The Highlands | Cape Wrath Trail vlog EP3

Part 3 of the CAPE WRATH Trail, heading from Sourlies northbound to Barisdale Bay. This had to be one of my hardest stages! The Cape Wrath Trail is a 230 mile hiking trail that crosses the highlands through bogs, glens, rivers and over mountains.
Such beautiful views passing these remote sections of the Scottish Highlands, even got to see some red deer on my travels.

I've been waiting for the next episode to watch and loving it! Better than any of the cr@p you get on main stream TV!

[@GirlOutdoors]

Aw cheers, haaha means a lot!

[@baijokull]

My head net is always my most appreciated piece of hiking equipment when I have to use it :D

[@danos5181]

Great episode to a great series! Thanks.

[@barriereid9244]

300 days of rain a year in Scotland. The North Atlantic is but a stone throws away. The waters around the Western Isles are some of the most dangerous on the planet and the mountains just love to empty the clouds...happy days. One point to remember for those who do not walk in the Highlands...we do mountain miles. That is to say for every mile one walks along you walk another upwards...and by default downwards.

[@michaelfk2548]

Not too shabby ! .. Stay safe I know you will . Blooming midges ..

[@ldosucowboy3279]

You read my mind in part 2 on the boot vs. shoes issue. Great explanation. Thanks.

[@buffplums]

Great having these bothies a perfect opportunity to dry out and recharge

[@DaleswayTherapies2020]

I carried your pac from Tesco to the van, the massive distance of several metres so to carry that beast as far as you did is deserving of kudos for that effort alone. Chapeau.

[@GirlOutdoors]

Hahaha! Aw thank you Fritz :) Take care you two xx

[@NM-yv7mr]

Oh Becky, this looked tough as nails. As you said, sometimes getting lost is a good learning experience. As long as you come out of it OK. But you kept pushing on and that is a true testimony to your strength. Honestly in awe of your inner grit to keep going. Can't wait to the next episode.

Those bugs sure did a dance on that pretty face of yours. Ouch! I have to laugh when you say the weather is quite lovely... I'm in the states, and the weather in Utah is almost 100% sunny all the time. That's my version of lovely weather. lol. Thank you for sharing this journey with us. You do an amazing job of capturing the beauty there, and I really do love your accent. It's very cute!

Adventures like the way you are,we love it ,it's such a tremendous trail

[@tommym1966]

45 minute video flew by. I was so interested to see how you got on and was happy seeing this pop up in my feed tonight. Thanks for sharing your journey.

[@3rubberboats]

Good morning Becky. Intense thinking along with physical labor can take a toll on the body. The extra sleep rejuvenates so you can crack on. Learning from a mistake is the best teacher. Food is very important and there will be future gift cards. And congratulations on becoming an ambassador for Kendal Mint Cake Company. As mentioned in ep2, you have an outstanding sense of humor. Thank you Becky for sharing part 3 and am looking forward to part 4. Have a wonderful day.

[@GirlOutdoors]

Aw thank you so much Moses, it meant so much to send that gift card over, much appreciated! All the best x

Hey Girl Outdoors... you're an extremely brave person. Awe inspiring. x

thank you so much!

[@nubeam893]

I’m truly and deeply rooting for your challenges from Korea 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@DickusCopernicus]

All credit to you. That stretch from Sourlies to Barrisdale, through Glen Carnach under Ben Aden is one of the toughest walks there is. I did it on the 20th December 1972 in force nine horizontal rain. It was part of an ill fated walk from Morar station to the Kintail Lodge Hotel. The party was Mad Max Hargreaves, Graham Bacon, John Fox and Rosie Gibson. The part where you went astray is all too easy to do, as the ground is rough and trackless, at least it was when we did it. At the time there was a fisherman living at Barrisdale, and he gave us a lift over Loch Hourn to the path that leads to Corran. The next day, Hogmanay, we got lost and had to be recused by pals at the Kintail Lodge Hotel driving over Mam Ratagan. No GoreTex then. Well done.

[@libork4000]

It was another very nice video. Thank you for taking us with you .... Looking forward to the next one ... Have a great day.

Really enjoying watching this series Becky. 😀. You're an absolute trooper. Perfectly informative and extremely interesting. I love the Scottish weather you're getting, adds to the beauty of it. You're a star thank you for continuing the fabulous content on your channel. Take care and I'm looking forward to the next episode 💗🥾

I'm more than a little impressed, Becky. This is just great. Thanks.🙂👍

[@davidian107]

Your one great girl. It’s all very interesting and lovely to see how you get on. Brilliant.

[@weebob0328]

a wee tip when your feet are getting so wet is put your socks on dry then put plastic bags on top then into your shoes ,boots good always when in wet Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@MiscMitz]

I love this. I get to travel to places I will probably never go in person. Thank you

[@GirlOutdoors]

Aw thank you!

[@duncanwalker4770]

It's like being on an adventure not knowing how it will end and it's so gripping, almost Blair Witch'esque at times, kind of want the next instalment already! I defo need to get some walks in up here! Thanks for sharing your journey with us. :)

Enjoying the cartography, comparing your pen pointers to Caltopo Maps on the web, fun to see the names, bothy, and bridges on your routes. Cracked me up with that final description....WET DOG.....!!!! CLASSIC LOL !👣

Amazing ground and hills

[@allankerr668]

Bloody hell!! Brilliant Becky! Great video! Love your enthusiasm!👊👍👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@cliffspicer6555]

I am really enjoying your channel and I must have found you after watching Haze Outdoors do this trail as well. I also watched your bushcrafting videos and you really know your stuff. I hope to be able to visit the UK one day and wild camp. It looks so beautiful. Thanks for sharing your adventurers. Cheers from Canada.

[@richrowley8355]

OMG. Where to start? heavy pack, wet feet ,,challenging terrain, challenging weather, wandering off the track, crowded out from the bothy, 230 miles, jeffin midges.... Any, and many of these things i've encountered while out hiking have made me doubt what the F*** am i doing?. Whereas you can only see the the bigger picture, the stunning scenery and the joy of being outdoors. I utterly commend you for that. Loving the series. You talk to us like a friend sitting in the pub recounting your adventures. Nice one

[@GirlOutdoors]

Aw thank you so much!!

[@ecttreker9816]

Great videos and adventures as always. Very well done. I'm definitely addicted to the accent as well. Cheers.

[@Nate1975]

Oh, emotional getting lost and then elation when back down to the track. Such a weird feeling of fear and excitement all in a short period of time. Adventure! Keep at it, girl. Love how you always acknowledge the nature around you. It’s like your point of going back to beauty that calms everything down. Also a good idea to talk about not doing it all if you don’t feel well or whatever. There’s no need to do it all and just enjoy the experience.

So if you get anything from that account it is not me. daniel porter being the new one. Part two... I have a German Shepherd Pup her name Is Wynter. when I would watch your Vids, there she was and still does watch them too, every time you would say Water, Wynter's Head would tilt. Now because of that...AHAHAHA... I have to say Water in a British sort of way...and BOOM she is off to take a drink... Again ,thank you for your Vlogs.

I find you've got to regularly keep tabs on your sat nav to check where you are, following paper maps is good but sometimes if you can't pinpoint your exact location it's easy to go off course. I hope you make it to the finish 👍

[@helenreeves6978]

Really enjoying these. How you managed in Scotland without a midge net I’ll never know. For us “oldies” it’s lovely to see the scenery and take part, if virtually, on your adventure. You certainly liven up the dark dreary nights x

[@richardb7726]

Carrying around 20kgs of backpack over that type of terrain is no joke. I am fit and weigh 80kg, I would find it hard. Until you have done something like that you can’t appreciate how tough it can be, day after day. You probably weigh around 50kgs so at around 20kgs you are carrying 40-50% of your body weight on your back. Hats off to you, I couldn’t carry half my body weight like that. It would certainly be a case of “mediiic!” Hard as nails, girl. Well done. respect
