Thank you so much for watching my Cape Wrath trail series and supporting me through it. Here is my overview video of how I found the 230 mile hiking trail and what tips I'd give if you fancy walking the route yourself. This was such a lovely journey and I really wanted to share my experience and what I learnt. I just scratch the surface as it would end up being hours long...

    Thanks- one thing I found useful when camping You can buy 50 or so empty ‘boil in the bag’ bags for only 2-3 quid from kitchen shops like Lakeland or online . I put individual portions of porridge, raisins etc in each one and add a couple of scoops of Marvel. Just pour in the hot water straight from the stove. They weigh nothing This way you know at a glance how many breakfasts for each day of the trip you have left. More importantly you can have milky porridge without accidentally spilling a large bag of everywhere, or having to scrap/clean any pot.
  • Yes I’ve been snarled by the Bog Monster on a few occasions, the slimy beast within puts up a good battle to swallow first your legs, then your body and finally your head. I’ve had to beat the monster into submission with my pacer poles too.

    Nice to watch about Cap Wrath. I went to UK in 2018, first in Corwall and then, step by to step to Scotland, hiking, biking, running and canoeing. Cap Wrath is a kind of mythic place and I wanted to do it by kayaking despite people saying to me that it was dangerous. So I got a very good 3 days weather opportunity to do it from South to North, camping on beach. But unfortunately I lost the key of my car-roof where I put my paddles!! I found it at the end of the first day and said bye-bye to my 3 days kayaking trip. But I started the trip from the North and did half of the way in round trip. I can say that the water is very very cold there, the currents stron,and the landscape very wild. Nobody on the way. Next day the weather changed and I could have seen what Wrath means... from the shore. In your video I have learnt how I can call the big holes we can find on the wet terrain, somehow dangerous: bogs which you have tested with your poles )) I watch with pleasure that you don't skimp your gear and have a pretty heavy backpack, better for your comfort and your security. So do I, regardless the lightweiht fashion. Best regard, Dundjack (France)

  • I’ve been picked up by some wondrously individual characters over the years and had the pleasure of picking up some wondrous characters too. You were one of those Girl Oiutdoors; so inspirational to listen to your stories of adventures had and adventures still to come. Many thanks for joining us and signing my SCC jersey and my precious, no not the ring of doom; but my bike. Looking forward to more tales of derring do and adventure. All the very best and a most wondrous Fesrive season. X X X

    What a wonderful journey, I enjoyed following you the whole trip. Thanks for explaining how you got home, that was another feat of courage and willpower. I don't think I will ever be in position to make that trip or hike, but I can say I have in some ways been there, thanks to you. Stay well Becky. Happy Holidays.
