Hey everyone! Thank you for sticking around this far to watch the 5th part of my Cape Wrath series - it's been a long one haha!
In this video, I start my journey at Craig, after a very wet and stormy night! I head on to Kinlochewe which is really the half way point, here I refuel, try and get some stocks but realise I should go onto Ullapool as they're wasn't many options for freeze dried food. I head from Kinlochewe to Taggan in order to wild camp then headed to the Shenevall bothy the following day which was a long old day, then onwards to Ullapool where I spent the night, bought the famous fish and chips and went out for a beer with a few people from the trail :) After, feeling re engergised and washed, I headed to Bridge of Orchy bridge, passing the lovely bothys on route.
I hope you enjoy!

So nice to lean back on the couch and watch while you do the hiking for us :-) Some channels promote hiking and outdoor life with videos loaded with sunshine and blue sky, but you show us what trekking with a tent in this part world actually consists of; changing conditions with all kinds of weather, and mile after mile with bogs, gravel and paths of all sorts. Much appreciated!!

@jeffmccausland3569 2 года назад

I enjoy hiking, too, but it's winter where I live, so I'm watching from my Lazyboy chair.

Saturday night viewing sorted! Brilliant again. This one brought back memories from 50 years ago. Walking from the beautiful Loch Maree; and having a Haggis supper at the chippy in Ullapool. You're a real inspiration Becky. If I wasn't 76 years old I'd be up there. Roll on part 6!

@thelimitdoesnotexist2705 2 года назад

you make me laugh with the cows! I have worked on a dairy farm and cows are very rarely aggressive and even then its juts bluster. They are incredibly nosy though, which is why they stare so intently and it freaks people out. They are just bored and love anything new to stare at. These ones are doing the classic behaviour of thinking you are bringing something. The farmer must be due with some feed, so they are being very demanding. The classic screech moo at the end was a definite demand of where the food is and why are you leaving without feeding them! It brought a smile to my face. I love your attitude of just being calm and respectful around them.

@peterjackson4132 2 года назад

This is a great comment, I learnt something today

@thelimitdoesnotexist2705 2 года назад

@@peterjackson4132 I have so many stories about them! Once I noticed the year old herefords were all stood around staring at the ground for ages. I finally went in and had a look and it was a toy the farm dog had left in there! I also used to leave fallen branches in the field for the Hertford calves because they would play with them! Their curiosity gets them in some right pickles though 🤣

@RollrightKnights 2 года назад

Ha ha, brilliant! We lived on a dairy farm for a while when I was very young. My Mum told me one day aged about 4, I took myself off for a walk down the lane. My parents and farm hands frantically searched for me for half an hour before finding me in the middle of a herd of very inquisitive Friesians!

@vanhelsing9342 2 года назад

Aye, Scotland is magic. Wild and romantic. But, on the other hand there are the endless bogs, midges and rainfall. But Becky seems to have the trekking bug, which lets her enjoy it all. I think, if you ain`t got that bug, you`d best stay at home.

Another REALLY good vlog. Which pub did you go to at Ullapool - The Ferry Boat Inn, Arch Inn or The Ceilidh Place? (Obviously you COULD have gone elsewhere but I guess it would have been one of those 3 - in the past I've been to The Argyll and heard some superb folk singing harmonies).

@steveworthington930 Год назад

Shenavall bothy is indeed special. Stayed there to climb An Tellach, fantastic day. Prince Charles,(now King), stayed there when he was at Gordonstoun school, wonder who got the bothy book, signed HRH?

Love your videos, your attitude is great, and constant cheerfulness no matter the situation is inspiring. Open to whatever changes occur along the way. I also think you are very brave doing these trips. Wondering if you have ever watched Wildbeare videos? She is a single female probably about 10 years older than you who does wild camping trips in the mountains of Wales. She has same demeanor as you. You are both delightful to watch. I hope that you keep the videos coming.

@philkfoto 2 года назад

When I lived in the Highlands and with a 4x4 until now with your vlog I never knew about these 4x4 trails. Reason being no good internet in 2002 all dial up. Now I must return to live there again and do more off road with a 4x4 with camera and camcorder ready, plus a drone.

@davidwilson2664 2 года назад

They cows were hilarious 😂 I was half expecting you to have to climb a tree to get out there way if they came after you. I've been chased a couple of times. My girlfriend at the time jumped over a barbed wire fence and ripped her leg open. I threw her wee dog over the fence before climbing it. Another time in the dark I heard them running towards me. Just saw the outline if them and I backed into a gorse Bush 🤣🙈 I'm more cautious these days with them

Becky, You have no idea how much I am loving this Cape Wrath video series. EPIC! And this particular episode brought back so many memories of my 2 week stay in the Kinlochewe area in 1997. I was 10 days in a B&B in Gairloch. Back in 1997 there was a nice campground in Gairloch. It had a laundry and small store. But who knows now. You should go back to the Torridon region of Scotland when you have time. The hiking in that area is simply awesome. I climbed Ben Eighe and Slioch whilst there. Please do "Liathach" for me 😁. The weather went to hell snowing before I could do it. The ridge walk on Liathach is one of the best in all of Scotland. The view of Loch Marie and the "Great Wilderness" from Slioch was spectacular. Loch Marie would be a great place to do a pack raft camping trip in my opinion. I would think you'd need at least a week's stay , 2 weeks would be better since the weather there is always sketchy :) :) Hi to Bushwhacker man Louise and your Mom!! LOVE ya...pete

As an Irish man living in Scotland and a relative new comer to this hiking and camping malarkey, I've done the West Highland Way, The Great Glen Way and The Annendale Way over the past two summers. This could be the next big one. Thanks for your inspiration and sharing your knowledge with us. And the laughs, I especially like how you pronounce more than one breakfast :D

@christianjimbomb8204 2 года назад

Thanks for the video,glad you're meeting others . You will develop the traveler envies, and just keep listening to all those stories people have. Theirs and ones they have picked up. You can be a grand story teller one day. The grander the stories the better around the campfire. Picking up and moving on to the next thing you will. My travels have changed me. I talk to complete strangers all the time now like I know them. Worlds a small place after all.

Well done! Really enjoying your trip and re-living my own CWT 'attempt' from April this year. Just back from another jaunt to this amazing area of the Highlands, so Episode 5 is very timely :) Everything is so variable on the CWT and this makes it a very different time of trail. I loved the fact that you end up almost making it up as you go along based on the weather, the conditions under foot and listening to your body ... I hope you make it to the lighthouse, good luck!

I may have mentioned this before but I have not worn walking boots for some time. Wellington's are a Godsend for dry feet. I do not suffer from blisters either. The only injury as such, has been cracked heels in the Sahara, which is normal for Africa. On mention of Ireland, I would love to kayak around it, being only 12 miles from Scotland.
